Do you have the link to that radar site?

A dusting going on outside!

Snow and sleet mix now.

Snowing in midtown Manhattan, sticking to cars. Huge flakes.

I see a few big flakes mixing in but system is moving out as we speak.

if u are home Please put on The Weather Channel I know this sounds crazy or maybe I'm losing my mind does The Weather Channel have snow for your area for tonight what accumulation is there something that we're not seeing

Yes, it has me in 3-5 also. I think its bogus. NWS Albany has me getting up to an inch.

weather.com says 1-3, from what the storm is moving out, precip is about to shut off. Correction, it HAS ended here. Wth is TWC thinking?

You people must all be drunk. Precip is over and it’s only rain

You know we’re desperate when maybe 4 flakes fall on December 17th in the middle of a rainstorm and people start posting and celebrating. Sheesh

Done here, 1.5" of friggin rain, with a little snow and sleet mixed in. What a waste. 37° now.

Just wet outside right now, 34 degrees.Second NWS bust for me this week, a few days ago I had a coating when they were calling for 1 to 2 and the same yesterday, 1-2 of snow/sleet that never came.Hard times for snow lovers right now.

Looking at more rain Friday into Saturday morning, but much less than what we just saw. Possibly less than 1 inch.

Times are tough right now. I much prefer a front-loaded winter than back-loaded. Preferably wish it was spread out, but that does not happen often. Let's hope the Stratosphere or El Nino base state saves us soon. The lack of storms when we have cold air is attributed to a weak to non existent sub tropical jet stream, and we were supposed to have an active one this winter due to Nino.

Not by the latest Euro frank, has 2-3 inches over the weekend oh what a wonderful christmas....

LOL. Me too Mom.Howling winds up here.HWS had said gusts up to 30 , sounds like over 40 to me.where are the wind advisories? HELLO, is there anybody in there??????? Two busted snowfall predictions and now a blown wind advisory in the last week! WTH???????

Well last night I was in Sullivan, in Fallsburgh, and on the way home about 8:30 after my class, the snow was coming down. Near the casino to about Exit 110 on 17, it was no bargain. 35 mph was top speed home. About three inches in a hurry. Yes, arriving home I could hear the wind too and more so during the night. The wind chimes I have rarely sound but I heard them. It was 27 when I left work, 33 when I got home. What a difference 35 miles makes.

ha I am sorry did not answer you...went and wrapped some Xmas gifts..finally got sleepy enough and went to bed around 6 a m now have to get son off to school . Going to be a loooong day!! Hope you have a good one!!

The winds were strong last night. Woke me up a couple of times.

Temps in the 40's for the next week or so. The latest GFS increased rain amounts on Friday to about 2 inches. I'm not sold on these amounts yet. I do not think the primary low is going to cut as far west as the GFS shows.



Rain will move out by 7am Saturday and the weekend should be pleasant.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day: sunny with temps in the upper 30's.

Strongest winds last night I’ve experienced in a LOOOONG time. Many tree branches down
