Frank can you post where you saw that, I can't find it online.

Was it a Central Park measurement?

Saw it on Twitter. Not sure if it was "official" reading but I've been seeing many reports.

I would give it some time.

Also, can we keep these type of posts in the banter thread (not directed at you but everyone). Keep this thread for pure observations. I instructed all the Mods to delete posts and not even to bother moving them.

You got it frank. My bad

35 and cloudy in Hyde Park. Not a single flake all day. Hoping for a few inches tonight.

Thanks Frank sweet, hoping to reach that 12 inch mark, 15 or more would be amazing but I will be perfectly happy with 12, and quite honestly 6+ even but I had 11 this year so I would like this to be the top storm. Did not mean to step on your feet bout the banter but this time around I really did not want to hear negativity unless it was from you guys whom I trust, those tweets are just to piss people off, in na way trolling his own agenda. back to the storm! When do you expect it to pick up in intensity? It has been steady but not super heavy all day.

You are really far up there. You may be our most north poster on this board! Other than TheAresian of course...

now big flakes mixing in with sleet

light rain picking up here in Deer Park and 34

How can anyone say this is over anytime soon, look at the radar! And the LP is still to the south and last I heard from Frank is going to move NNE which would put it around or inside the BM.  This is going to last maybe even to flurries into daybreak you watch.

Yeah. Sometimes it works to my advantage and sometimes I get the screw job.

They actually haven’t lowered totals. Look at the time stamp. That’s from 2pm to 8am additional. We are in the storm now. Each subsequent map issuence is “additional snow” it’s not a total snow map anymore like before the storm. So verbatim on that map they expect 10” of additonal snow from 2pm to 8am in Freehold

Welcome

Major band about to set up shop over north shore over to queens, bronx, and manhattan.

Well, in my area this would be a lowered total because I’m not starting with much right now. Lol. But your point is taken with regard to other places.

Reporting in from the furthest northwest reaches of the board to report no snow with 32* and cloudy skies except for the places where there's sun.
