No I'm still convinced we see a changeover and a lull, like I said use it to your advantage, dig out before round 2, but it is colder than I anticipated.

But there won't be the .5" or 1.0" rain totals they said for me to wash away all the snow right?

For those who haven't seen the SREF, look at that CCB.

No I don't think so, rain should be light NW of the current line.

nice!. So do you think i can expect another 4-6" tonight?

Just measured 8 inches

Still snowing hard, ice pellets mixing in but still accumulating. Hoping for no changeover, can't imagine shoveling this with rain on top of it. Will use dry slot if and when it happens to shovel out. Just can't figure out where to shovel it to, depth of this new snow is nearing height of previous snow mounds at edge of property. Opened my side door and the snow fell in.

I have low confidence in the CCB forecast, NAM backed to the north again, I think we will see some backend snow but models are still not in agreement in as to where or how much, we need to nowcast it. Right now I say addtl 2-4" is a safe bet.

9" now! North shore

Caldwell , NJ - 8 in , 9 am, Heavy snow, 1/8 to 3/16 mile visbility

Absolute white out here, sroc, hope you're safe and sound, spinouts all over the place here.

Heavy snow, wind swept, visibility maybe two blocks.

Look at that band. My god. Hopefully it's snow not sleet

Frank, will the CCB miss me to the north tonight or will i get hit with a good thump?

Around here roads are dead besides plows, not gonna try driving in this one, came too close to getting stuck with the 3rd storm.

Heavy sleet now. Temp 30.

8.6" here now, all snow temp 30!

That band stretches all the way out to LI - Just about to push onto the south shore

We are holding on to the snow Mets!!!

Frank are you still snowing

Whiteout, heavy snow, wind.Reminds me of Boxing Day.

CCB is not missing anyone. Additional 4-8 inches of snow expected tonight. I think.

Storm is shifting, look at the bands, stalling.

My guess is that it's starting to turn a bit towards the NE.

Through 7 AM Central Park's snowfall measurement is at 2.0". I wonder what it will be when this snowband passes

10" and counting!
