TWC: Places in northern Long Island have 10 inches of snow in that heavy band with lightning, 2-3 inches per hour near Islip.

anyone know of a good nemo blog that has locals involved, and not all Texas folk?

You talking about some kind of Disney movie?

These radar returns for temps < 32 have never been seen by this amateur. I'd always wondered what certain returns here is Texas in the Spring would translate to in snow, and I'm getting to see it tonight. And its not a radar thats turned up for a Lake Effect event over Bufflao that picks up birds and planes. Gonna enjoy this.

Just getting started too.

If the temp had only gotten to 31 by 1:00, we'd be looking at a Time Square mess. It never hit the high (34 is the highest I saw in Manhattan) but the mets were dead on on the transition timing.

Without any discussion to base/gauge my opinions from, is it just me or is the Low further east than previously thought?

[cycloneye]

Is NYC underperforming in the snowfall totals? So far nothing too impressive in the city but not far away in Islip LI much more has fallen.

That's why I was thinking the Low was further east than previously thought (or faster?). Underperformed indeed, according to yesterdays models...upped from the previous day which was closer to what they may see storm total-wise. However, their event is supposed to be overnight, and thats been the thinking from jump street. New Haven CT is going to be impressive in the near term. That band is just setting up shop over long island & S CT.

Boston may be the perfect spot to be later, if trends remain the same. Would've been nice to watching a game at Foxboro while this is developing.

Do you know any good radars that show CtoG lightning? I thought accuweather did but I havent seen any when they've been reported socially.

TIA

The radar shots need to be saved. It looked more like a hurricane making landfall with that incredible band over Long Island and Connecticut...58 dBz is incredible for snow!

^^^If only it was daytime for vis sats

Deformation band sure is something across the northeast. Connecticut and Long Island are getting hammered.

[bzukajo]

Some more shots from Hayward Landing in Douglas MA. Wind has picked up significantly. Lights are constantly flickering. Hope they stay on!

[tomboudreau]

My parents are absolutely getting hammered in NE CT. They have up to 15 inches of snow already with 6 inches in the last 2 hours. They told me they cannot see the house across the street. They have not seen any lightning or heard any thunder yet.

Just added the 00z charts (1000 mb/surface & 500 mb) to my blog, along with tons of radar & sat data. She is really wound up, too bad we can't get any vis or RGB images though.
