Winter Storm Stella seems to be bypassing NYC

[brooklynite]

Heaviest snowfall shifting to the north; we're only getting 3-6" now.

4. It was a bust

De Blasio was right to question NOAA

5. Snow never causes us much problems

its when its freezing rain and sleet that the shit happens. Power lines come down, cars pile up on the freeways and on and on. In snow its possible to drive, Ice not so much. Hell on ice I can't even make it to my mail box let alone drive anywhere. snow though is no problem as long as its not knee high to a tall basketball player that is.

6. I am facing a side street and seeing zero yellow cab traffic

Unusual at any time, let alone rush hour. Assume ice.

7. Poconos

Almost a white out. Cannot tell how hard it's snowing because of the winds blowing it all around I will say this much though. The plows keep coming down our road.

The Ski Resorts here must be loving this.

14. Our local weather man says this happens in the south cuz upper atmosphere above 32 degrees

No snow, just ice.

(I'm in south Texas, but you get the idea)

When I lived in WI, we had the opposite: snow when it was above freezing.

8. Ugh... While I'm happy for those down south...

Shifting to the north means we'll be getting more so when I saw this I went and checked our weather... Overnight we went from 3" to 6" predicted to 12" to 20" and now have a blizzard warning.

:sigh: I knew something was off when I kept hearing the plows go by more often and so much earlier than I was expecting for this but I was hoping it was their normal over abundance of caution. At least they're really good up here and hubby has a working snowblower finally.

On the plus side we're ready to stay put for a few days... I'm just hoping the power stays on.

9. Upstate NY.

We now expect 30"+ here near Utica, NY.

[Squinch]

10. Bronx and Yonkers getting lots of snowy freezing sleet. Inches of ice on the sidewalks.

[MiniMe]

11. It was a bust in DC

Mostly sleet here, I got a little over an inch

[HoneyBadger]

12. UWS is like a wasteland

Side streets are 90% impassable. Starbucks is closed. Fairway and Trader Joes are open. Snow is melting. Perfect "corn snow" spring skiing conditions.

[HoneyBadger]

13. Times Square is great

All is open, am in Starbucks, even Halal Guys carts on 53rd are churning out the chicken. Wear those boots, hope it all freezes tonite.

15. The Southern Tier

is getting a lot of snow today.

17. Sleet, rain , heavy winds have died down. When it freezes tonight it'll be sheet of ice.
