Nothing here yet. 3hrs past projected start time from 12hrs ago.

National Weather Service New York NY
432 AM EST Fri Mar 10 2017

Deepening low pressure tracking off the Delmarva coast this
morning will rapidly deepen as it passes south and east of Long
Island this afternoon. The low continues to deepen tonight into
Saturday while passing to the east of the Canadian Maritimes.
Arctic high pressure builds southeast out of central Canada
through the weekend and then over the area on Monday.

There will be a quick shot of snow this morning into mid
afternoon with several hours of moderate to occasionally heavy
snow. The heaviest snow will fall this morning. Light snow
currently over the Lower Hudson Valley and interior southern
Connecticut will work south over the next few hours,
overspreading the NYC metro and Long Island area by 7 am. This
is considerably later than previously forecast due to the dry air
in place.

Getting close. Cant tell if previp shield is expanding or the line is just sinking south

Weird fluff type snows for March. 15:1 ratios!

National Weather Service Taunton MA
356 AM EST Fri Mar 10 2017

Snow accumulation and headlines...
Expected snow ratios will be around 15:1 but lower over the
islands, This supports 6-8 inches for Cape/Islands, 4-6 inches
from eastern CT through RI and southeast MA, then decreasing to
an inch or 2 along and north of the Mass Pike with less than an
inch NW MA.

Loop last 4hrs. 1:10-5:10am. I see some heavy pinks over CT. Decent snow rates under there.

Remember 15+ anomalies is hard to get. 20-25 is near the extreme records. We don't see 15+ anomalies all the time.

"Polar Troughing". Love that term!

National Weather Service New York NY
432 AM EST Fri Mar 10 2017

On the backside of the intense coastal low tracking to the east
of New England and the Canadian maritimes, arctic air will
spill southward tonight into Saturday. Temperatures will average
15 to 20 degrees below normal with wind chill values early
Saturday morning near or just below zero. In addition, these
frigid temperatures will be accompanied by NW winds gusting up
to 35 mph. Highs on Saturday will struggle to get into the mid
and upper 20s. Several record lows as well as record low maximum
temperatures will likely be achieved. See the climate section
below for details.

Polar troughing will reside over the NE U.S this weekend...lifting
north on Monday. At the surface...sprawling arctic high pressure
extends SE from central Canada into the region. This will result in
an unseasonably cold airmass over the region Sunday into Monday. A
northern stream shortwave moves through on Sunday with perhaps some
flurries. Main story will be the cold...with temps potentially
struggling to get to the freezing mark both Sunday and Monday (15-20
degrees below seasonable). Windchills likely run in the single
digits coastal plain...and 0 to 5 below zero across interior late
Sat night/Sun morning on gusty NW winds.

Snowing lightly along the Merritt Parkway but roadway just wet. Moderate snow in Ridgefield/Danbury area but not sticking to roads (yet?). Fingers crossed that maybe I won't have to snow blow my driveway this evening.

Light snow here. Temp at 32.

Looking forward to the next week. Snow today, record cold this weekend, major snowstorm likely tues. Couldn't be happier.

Snow everywhere and the birds are chirping and singing like its spring. How very bizarre.
