Nahh, warm boundary layer still too thick. Flakes melting above 2000' I think.


Baltimore reporting snow now so its changed there but they're on the bottom edge of things


Snowing moderately in Poughkeepie, NY while Raining in Danbury, CT. Not that far apart.

What’s the 2000 feet temperatures over new England? Cold enough to stop flakes from melting?

All rain here but people were complaining snouyt slipping walking outside an hour ago

All rain here still but man you can feel the airmass start changing..


Here's the 5000' temps.. Note the freezing line is north south and about to move into CT & central MA now.


Hearing reports its trying to changeover in NYC. Still early.


Over 1.5" of rain so far here. Over a foot of snow around Albany and Buffalo.

Save this link. 925mb Temps (2500'). Below freezing now over us. -1C over you but it's above freezing at 5000'.


It's all about filtering out the warmth at the surface and 5000'. Give it more time..

20" fell total here!!!! Drifts of heart-attack snow right out my front door of 3 feet.

I see it now. Great way to view the entire column in the atmosphere is through soundings..


It's only a small pocket (layer) over Hartford

The wind just blew strong and snowflakes started falling. Pure indication that when the winds mix down to the surface the flakes from above push down as well. Air is cooling down fast now.


Loop last 4hrs. Check out the snow reports. 12-18"!


More importantly look at the rotating bands now in Southern New England! Pivot!

60mph+ Winds in Maryland.

hilltowns recording 6 inches already. Should be the biggest snowstorm of the season for those getting snow. Doesn't look like 6 inches in this photo. Either varies by place or just hard to judge depth

looks like the pocket is below freezing west of here. So Berkshires get all snow no sleet or freezing rain. Really steep temperature gradient by Cape Cod. Almost 8 or 9°C by at the 925 hPa level

About 4 inches so far in Orange County NY. Switched to snow around 5am after 7+ hours of rain. Big, wet flakes.
