In the NY Post website, take a look at the photo of the people at the Port Authority bus terminal. Cattle call.

Sleeting now and heavily many schools have called delayed openings - many teacher friends of mine left school at 3PM some just got home others still stuck on roads

Its crazy. I ended up walking about 3 miles after every train was going nowhere and bus service is basically canceled. What you see on Mclean is basically all major streets. Plus add lots of stranded buses. People are sleepin on that freezing rain. Alot or sleet/rain mix wit temps in the upper 20s, only now approaching freezing mark. 6.7" snow plus about half inch sleet.

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** on Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:03 pm

8.5 inches as of 8:45 pm with snow and sleet.

It will be interesting to see if we can crack 10.

The pros didn't seem to trust the models much on this one. I'm sure they'll rethink that. They left a lot of road crews in the urban areas with their thumbs up their asses. Pardon the French.

by **Snow88** on Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:22 pm

Feels like January right now

Streets and sidewalks are very icy

Ended with 4.3 inches

by **frank 638** on Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:28 pm

Wow the wind are howling out of the north east

by **billg315** on Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:35 pm

I know someone from work who has a 25 minute commute that took almost 4 hours to get home. That is actually not an isolated incident. Many reports of people stranded on NJ highways and people abandoning cars and walking. Not a good situation.

by **hyde345** on Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:44 pm

8 inches in Hyde Park, Dutchess county. Still moderate snow and sleet.

by **nutleyblizzard** on Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:45 pm

After a very long day I'm finally unwinding on my recliner. What's normally a 20 minute commute, it took nearly 3 hours. When I got home I measured 6.5''. Great storm!

by **Dunnzoo** on Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:46 pm

A friend of mine is trying to get home from Brooklyn, normally an hour commute, he has been in the car 6.5 hours and still not in NJ!

Yup. I just got home because I had to go to Poughkeepsie train station to help my daughter who got stuck trying to get up a hill. The roads are a disaster. The cop said that there are thousands of incidents around the county.

Less trees with leaves still by you I assume, especially green leaves. Still a decent amount of trees full of green leaves, especially in Manhattan and the more urban neighborhoods throughout NYC in general.

Mount Hope in Orange County, Spotter reported 17 in as of 9:30 pm

by Guest on Thu Nov 15, 2018 10:20 pm

The fact NYC decision makers could not follow the short range models this morning and do some last minute preparations is absurd. They had a 6-8 hour heads up. Shoot if we knew it was gonna bust high why couldn’t they.

Plus the fact that 4-6” of snow cripples a city is embarrassing. Our society is a disgrace. We are so soft and helpless it’s incredible. I’m ashamed. Lets let even more clueless folks in here for Pete’s sake. What a joke

Impossible. I believe you heard that but no way is that possible

by **WeatherBob** on Thu Nov 15, 2018 10:46 pm

It was on the NWS New York’s latest snow totals. That’s all I am saying.

by Guest on Thu Nov 15, 2018 10:59 pm

Once again it looks like living in the snow donut of the universe will cause a storm to under perform. First a dry slot and now a change to what sounds like sleet. It might end up dropping 6-8 which is a very good storm especially for this time of year, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Lots of reports of a foot in Orange County but 17 seems pretty high. But if they were under a persistent band who knows. There were 4 inch per hour rates in northern orange for a couple of hours so it’s possible.
