18.1, 81%, (moistened considerably) 29.93 F

Steady light to moderate snow. approaching 1/2 inch

Pleasantly surprised.

Radar doesn't look too good north of CNJ. Back down to light snow here, still have only a coating on the ground. Not sure if I'll even make it to uptons predicted 2"-4".

Doc that's funny shit.  I really need to get you and CP out at a bar somewhere when I go upstate to shoot the shit.  Think it would be great.  

Temp. dropped to 19 here in Syosset.  Mod to maybe heave last 1/2 hour.  winds picking up and snow drifting already.  Area-wide (other than N/W folks SECS!!  Good event.  Approaching 2"  If we keep up at these rates through 5 p.m. will be near 5-6" by then.

I'm on my 1 beer per inch plan.

Wood Burning stove ripping since 10:00 pm last night. House 73 degrees. Great day incoming. Making home made chicken soup and Sunday sauce on a Saturday.

Jimmy, we would laugh our butts off!Someday, friend, someday.

Anyway, here temp is dropping. Now 17.9 Light snow.

Will be pleasantly surprised to get the 1-2 inches now they predict.Was expecting a total bust.Good luck Jimmy and the rest of the Jersey shore and Island crew.Its your day.

Been stead light to moderate snow, of course that NWS blue circle for 1 inch plus bands is on the cusp of me literally the line is over my apartment, still thinking we should see a WSW city and southern westchester, I bet we see 6 or close.  Al havent heard from you in a bit.  Its really that much worse at jfk which is literally only 15-20 miles maybe from here.

My advisroy sauys 4-6, so what is criteria for WSW, has be 6+? Frank what are chances we see 6 inches or more here in and around city say 10-15 miles N/W. maybe less

I'll have to measure in a bit, hey everyone should be happy with this when in fact just a day ago we werent sure we were getting anything, and Frank nice job not jumping ship or fully jumping on board till you knew, you were spot on for the most part except your snow map which im pretty sure is fine with you.

Snowing moderately here now and it seems that the winds are picking up a bit. Still not a lot of snow on the ground.

Snow just got pretty heavy here now. Temp 21.6 about 1.5" on the ground i'd say

LI and CT are get hammered per radar, the 20 dbz bands are just skirting the city and boarder of southern westchester. Hoping we can get into some of that heavier banding just need a bit more tug N.

Snowing at a pretty good clip here in western suffolk too!!

Heaviest snow of the day now. 22*

Some of the best snow yet here. Great returns on the radar SW to NE! Love snow during the day!!

I'm in heaven

it is snowing like crazy in ocean county already more than 4 inch on the ground and visibility poor. O boy this is going to be a monstor.

Just drove down to Philly for a Flyers-Tampa game. Snowing pretty good here in South Philly, and the trip down I-295 was no treat. I just saw they upped the forecast for my town (Somerville) from 1 or 2" to 2-4" and issued a WWA. Looking at the radar I can see why.

Kinda wish I was at home looks like it's snowing pretty good in our area (although it's coming down great here in Philly too).

Jersey Shore is getting blitzed

1.5"

A little over 2" here 1" last hour. Looks like even heavier incoming.

Frank who's enjoying the snow more, you or your dog?

Just about over here according to radar, around 1/2". Good luck to S & E posters!

Me and the bully

you can see it clearer here north of nyc when the higher returns moved in they disipated. is that that subsidence talked about, what is drying up that area?
