LMAO

i got a coating and good light snow fall, the rest of I-80 has nothing not 1 flake

No blizzard warning here, but my winter storm warning was just updated to 12-16.

What a comeback - I was expecting nothing just this morning.

Still waiting here, air not saturated yet....

I'm with you Janet. Moisture plume just hitting a wall right now.

Just got home from work. Roads getting bad, snowing since about 8. About an inch on the ground and picking up in intensity. Saw only 0z NAM at work and nearly 4" QPF at my house, wtf? Still barely believe it and NAM very likely overdone, but in half still 2 feet! Will I finally break my snow hole? We'll see, but instead of "Jonas", I christen thee the Blizzard of 2016. Give 96 a run for its money leggoo..

Flakes have started here!

Very excited to finally get a double digit snowstorm.

24* cloudy

It's tough reading two threads. Can we consolidate to one?

If the NAM verifies the name has to be changed to "Now A Model"

Nam may become the new King!!!!

So it begins. Dusting in Commack, NY
