Very close. And when it arrives, looks like it will be madonne worthy rates

Tough dry air is indicative of the stubborn cold air not wanting to leave maybe

R/S line moving very slowly north. Can NYC manage 1”???

The pingers are past Allentown PA. The warm tongue is pretty stout probably between 800-850 is above freezing.

No way…….already??

I agree frank…thats the southeasterly cold air push i was referring to…hopefully it holds strong and cold air maintains its footage in this tug of war…down to 33.6 here in maspeth queens with light to moderate snow. Still only stickage on cars and cold surfs

This is accurate. Starting to mix with sleet/rain here and right on that line. Still 32* though.

Purple = 32 degree surface temp
Blue = 850mb thickness (seems to be the r/s line)
Green = 700mb thickness
Red = 500mb thickness

I like this radar site. It gives clear distinction between precip. types.

Warm tongue probably between 800-850 but it's moving quickly and fairly powerful push. Also raised surface temp to 31.2. About 2" OTG. That is the most snow in one shot in 2 years so I'm not going to belly ache if that's it. I called 1-3" for EPA because of that concern.

I like this. Thanks for sharing

Just changed over to rain here (at 4:40PM). We have about 1" here (tops of grass still peeking through).

Rs line advancing fast looks like i wont see anything but wet roads. Oh well. Snowing but not sticking.

In a moderate band of snow and starting to stick on sidewalks. Streets getting that pre stick glaze. With sun gone all surface stickage soon if this rate of snowfall continues. No mixing here

amazing that queens which is much closer to ocean than me is seeing stickage and snow. Theres no rhyme or reason to weather even if forcasted.

It's the weirdest thing. It's snowing in Central Park Long Island queens and its mostly rain here.

Rain/snow mix here as the precip just began

R/s line is creeping up.rhis way here in edison but not here quite yet and still snowing

Just something to note, the HRRR has been trending slightly colder in the past few runs. pic.twitter.com/iE5a1JmIjU

that is super strange. Any idea on a explanation as ur really good at this stuff?

Maspeth is approx 130’ elevation so it tends to stay a bit colder…as is most of the north shore of LI. And the mod to heavier snow bands have reached us…hopefully they reach you guys up north as well. Sidestreets getting white

Listening to the dreaded pingers pelting my window pane persistently.
