Reported

As snow and/or ice reports come into the NWS (you can email reports to okx-spotters@noaa.gov or Tweet to @NWSNewYorkNY), we will pass them on here. With the map linked here, and the supporting reports below it, you can keep tabs on how much has fallen.

What's this?

Minimum Potential Accumulation

Expect at least this much. This is what we see as the least amount of snow the storm can produce.

The range between maximum and minimum typically shrinks as the storm nears, and the outcome becomes more certain. "Most Likely" (the forecast) will remain between the two.

This information is for advance planning ahead of the storm. It is provided out as far as three days. However, when the snow starts to fall, this will be discontinued to focus on the forecast snow amount.

Most Likely Accumulation

Represents our official snow forecast in inches within the next one to two days. The snowfall amounts are provided in ranges (1-2", 2-4", etc.). Close

Maximum Potential Accumulation

What you should be prepared for. This is what we see as the storm's maximum potential snowfall accumulation.

The range between maximum and minimum typically shrinks as the storm nears, and the outcome becomes more certain. "Most Likely" (the forecast) will remain between the two.

This information is for advance planning ahead of the storm. It is provided out as far as three days. However, when the snow starts to fall, this will be discontinued to focus on the forecast snow amount. Close

Exceedance Probabilities

Represents the likelihood of exceeding a specific snowfall amount. Thresholds are 0.1", 1", 2", 4", 6", 8", 12", and 18". This product is designed to indicate high or low confidence in the official snowfall forecast.

Example: An 80% chance of exceeding 2" means that we have a high confidence that it will snow at least 2". Conversely, a 10% chance of exceeding 18" means that we have high confidence that it will snow less than 18". Close
