The episode as NWS OKX wrote it up.
Low pressure moving across the deep South on Thursday January 21st and Friday January 22nd intensifed and moved off the Mid Atlantic coast on Saturday January 23rd, bringing heavy snow and strong winds to southeast New York, and blizzard conditions to Long Island, New York City, and nearby southern Westchester County.
NY Gov. Cuomo declared a state of emergency early Saturday January 23rd. Metro North and Long Island Railroad service halted at 4 PM Saturday.
In New York City, the blizzard contributed to more than 400 car crashes, and streets were closed to all but emergency vehicles from mid-afternoon Saturday January 23nd until 7 AM Sunday January 24th. Much of the city's mass transit was shut down, along with bridges and tunnels across the city and to/from New Jersey. The Port Authority Bus Terminal, the busy Midtown NYC transportation hub, closed its doors at 4 PM Saturday. Broadway shows announced all Saturday performances were canceled.
Travel in and out of New York City airports lagged through Monday January 25th as airlines pre-emptively cut hundreds of flights. All arrivals and departures were eventually canceled due to severe winter weather conditions at LaGuardia airport, with Kennedy at a virtual standstill as well. More than 1,000 flights out of New York City-area airports were cancelled, including 90% of flights from LaGuardia.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
932 PM EST FRI JAN 22 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A NOR'EASTER WILL IMPACT THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.
A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN SUNDAY AND REMAINS OVER THE REGION
THROUGH MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE MONDAY NIGHT AS A
FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT
MOVES ACROSS EARLY TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
SNOW IS SPREADING NEWD AT AROUND 28 KT PER RADAR TOWARDS THE
REGION FROM PA AND NJ. THIS BRINGS THE SNOW INTO THE CITY AND
NERN NJ ABOUT 9PM. DRY AIR IS IN PLACE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS. MOST OF THE STEADY AND ACCUMULATING SNOW AFT
MIDNIGHT MOST AREAS BECAUSE OF THIS ATTM. WRT THE STORM
OVERALL...THE 18Z GFS DID COME IN FURTHER N...SO WILL BE
AWAITING THE 21Z SREF PLUS 00Z NAM. NEXT UPDATE MAY BE CLOSER TO
1045 PM TO ALLOW FOR A PEAK AT THE 00Z GFS.
ANALYSIS OF GFS/ECMWF/CANADIAN/NAM INDICATES A FASTER ONSET OF
SNOW TONIGHT. EXPECT SNOW TO DEVELOP FROM SW TO NORTHEAST TONIGHT.
POTENT TROUGH AND SFC LOW PIVOTS EAST...WITH LOW PRESSURE
DEEPENING RAPIDLY OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT.
EXPECT SNOW ACCUMS TO RANGE FROM 1 TO 2 INCHES NEAR THE COAST TO
LITTLE ACCUMS ACROSS THE INTERIOR BY SUNRISE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SNOW AMOUNTS IN GENERAL WILL BE RAISED...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
COAST.
COLLAB WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES AND HPC. NAM CLOSED AND WRAPPED
UP WHEREAS GFS/ECMWF MUCH MORE ELONGATED WITH PIVOTING UPPER
TROUGH/CLOSED LOW. DEEP LOW PRESSURE NEARS THE 40N/70W
BENCHMARK...AND FORECAST ALL DEPENDS ON BANDING/FRONTOGENETIC
FORCING AND PLACEMENT. NAM QUITE AGGRESSIVE IN PLACING HEAVY SNOW
BAND/MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS ACROSS THE AREA EAST TO WEST...AND
IT IS REFLECTED IN IT/S QPF.
VERY GOOD QPF AGREEMENT WITH ECMWF/GFS/CANADIAN AND VARIOUS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS FOR A GENERAL 1 TO 1 1/2 INCH AMOUNT NEAR THE COAST...TO AS
LITTLE AS A QUARTER OF AN INCH ACROSS THE INTERIOR...PARTICULARLY
NW ZONES.
WILL MAINTAIN BLIZZARD WARNING ALONG THE COAST. VERY STRONG WINDS
OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS 40 TO 50 MPH WILL RESULT IN POOR VSBYS
IN HEAVY SNOW/BLOWING SNOW.
FURTHER TO THE NORTH...CONFIDENCE NOT QUITE HIGH ENOUGH FOR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS...BUT UPGRADED WATCHES TO WARNINGS FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA...EXCEPT ADVISORIES INTERIOR SW CT...AND MAINTAINED WATCH FOR
ORANGE AND PUTNAM COUNTIES. THIS DUE TO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AT THIS
TIME FURTHER NW. A SLIGHT OSCILLATION OF QPF SHIELD NORTH OR
SOUTH MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE...BUT FOR CONSISTENCY...WENT WITH
WINTER WX ADV FOR INTERIOR CT...EXCEPT NEW LONDON AND CSTL ZONES.
SNOW WILL END LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE STORM PULLS AWAY.
TEMPS QUITE COLD PER MOS BLEND.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL JET MEANDERS ACROSS THE U.S. WITH THE NORTHEAST
BEING ON THE BACKSIDE OF A MAX JET STREAK THAT WILL BE WELL OUT INTO
THE ATLANTIC. IN THE MID LEVELS...SOME BRIEF RIDGING BEFORE A SMALL
AMPLITUDE TROUGH MOVES IN SUNDAY NIGHT. AT THE SURFACE...THE LOW
WILL BE WELL OUT TO SEA SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. THE JET APPEARS TO
BE MORE SPLIT WITH THE POLAR JET HAVING A STREAK THAT MOVES IN BY
SUNDAY EVENING. THIS JET WEAKENS EARLY MONDAY BUT INCREASES MONDAY
NIGHT. IN THE MID LEVELS...RIDGING TAKES PLACE WITH A LONGWAVE
TROUGH APPROACHING MONDAY NIGHT. THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK REMAINS
OVER THE REGION TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...INCREASING IN MAGNITUDE
THROUGH THE TIME. THE MID LEVEL LONGWAVE TROUGH MOVES IN ACROSS THE
REGION TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH THE HIGHEST PVA MOVING THROUGH
WITH THE SHORTENING OF ITS AXIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AT THE SURFACE...A
FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES MONDAY NIGHT WITH ITS ASSOCIATED WARM
FRONT MOVING THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. THIS WILL THEN BE FOLLOWED BY A
COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A SECONDARY COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AFTER THIS...THE JET STAYS SOUTH OF THE REGION
THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY. THE MID LEVELS SHOW MORE OF A QUASI-
ZONAL FLOW THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FOR
NEXT FRIDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE THURSDAY WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LOW APPROACHING FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO NEXT
FRIDAY.
IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION...DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY EVENING. SOME LIGHT MOISTURE RETURNS ARE SEEN FROM
THE MODEL FIELDS LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING WHICH HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO BE SOME LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR DRIZZLE DEPENDING ON
THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND HOW SATURATED LOW LEVELS BECOME. POPS
ARE ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THIS. A HIGHER CHANCE OF RAIN ARRIVES
TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. COLDER TEMPERATURES ALOFT BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR SOME REMAINING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS
TUESDAY NIGHT AS PVA ASSOCIATED WITH AN EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE MOVES
MOSTLY NORTH AND WEST OF THE REGION. THESE RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ARE
ONLY AT SLIGHT CHANCE. DRY CONDITIONS RESUME WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH AT THE SURFACE ALONG WITH AN ASSOCIATED EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVE WITH LARGER PVA ALOFT. DRY CONDITIONS RESUME THURSDAY WITH
ANOTHER SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT AND A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS FRIDAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEXT LOW.
IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES...HIGHS ARE FORECAST SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
SUNDAY...NEAR NORMAL MONDAY...AND APPROXIMATELY 5 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL TUESDAY. HIGHS TREND LOWER FOR THE REST OF THE LONG TERM AND
WILL AVERAGE NEAR NORMAL. LOWS ARE FORECAST TO BE NEAR NORMAL SUNDAY
NIGHT...APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 7 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR BOTH MONDAY
AND TUESDAY NIGHT. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE AS NOTED BEFORE WILL BE
TEMPERATURES AT 850MB. THEY ARE FORECAST TO BE SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE
FREEZING MONDAY NIGHT AND SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW FREEZING TUESDAY
NIGHT. THE LOWS FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT WILL STILL BE
SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NOR'EASTER/BLIZZARD AFFECTS REGION ON LATE TONIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED AROUND SUNRISE OVER NYC AND LI
TERMINALS.
SNOW BEGINS TO OVERSPREAD THE NY METRO JUST AFTER 03Z. IT WILL
CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SPREAD N-NNE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. ACCUMULATING
SNOW SHOULD BEGIN AROUND MIDNIGHT FOR NY METRO AND LONG ISLAND
TERMINALS. CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY LOWER AFTER 06Z WITH WINDS
INCREASING....WITH THE POTENTIAL CONDITIONS LOWER A BIT QUICKER
THAN FORECAST.
SATURDAY...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR NY METRO AND LONG ISLAND.
STRONG WIND GUSTS INTO THE 40S PEAKING AS HIGH AS 50 KT ALONG THE
COAST.
FOR SNOW AMOUNTS...SEE WWW.WEATHER.GOV/OKX/WINTER.
HUDSON VALLEY AND S. CT EXPECTED TO BE ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE
STORM...BUT STILL EXPECTING HEAVY SNOW KHPN/KBDR/KHVN/KGON. KSWF
SHOULD BE ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE SNOW WITH JUST A FEW INCHES
OF ACCUMULATION EXPECTED.
SOME VARIABILITY IN SNOW INTENSITY...BUT AN 1-2 INCH HOUR RATES
SEEMS LIKELY THROUGH THE DAY.
.OUTLOOK FOR 00Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
.SAT NGT...SN ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST...AROUND MIDNIGHT IN THE
NY METRO.
.SUN...VFR. N WND 15G25KT EARLY...THEN DIMINISHING BY AFTN.
.MON...VFR. W WND 10 KT.
.TUE...IFR/MVFR. SW WND 15-20G25KT. SCT -SHRA. -FZDZ POSSIBLE IN
THE MORNING INLAND.
.WED...VFR. W WND 10-15 KT.
&&
.MARINE...
A NOR'EASTER WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH TONIGHT...PASSING TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN STORM
WARNINGS FOR THE OCEAN WATERS AND GALE WARNINGS ELSEWHERE.
WINDS ON THE WATERS WILL BE TRENDING DOWN SUNDAY.
HOWEVER...GALES WILL LIKELY REMAIN EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND
DEPENDING ON MIXING COULD LINGER INTO LATER PORTIONS OF SUNDAY
MORNING. THEREFORE...FOR THE NON-OCEAN WATERS...KEPT END TIME OF
GALE WARNING THE SAME AS BEFORE. FOR THE AFTERNOON...GALES ARE
FORECAST TO DIMINISH WITH WIND GUSTS EVEN ON THE OCEAN ONLY REACHING
A MAX NEAR 30 KT. THESE WINDS FURTHER DIMINISH SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A WEAKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN. SCA WINDS LOWER TO BELOW SCA ON
OUTER OCEAN SUNDAY EVENING.
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AGAIN TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH
WIND GUSTS REACHING SCA ON OCEAN WATERS AND BEING MORE MARGINAL ON
NON-OCEAN WATERS. IN TERMS OF SEAS...OCEAN IS STILL FORECAST TO BE 5
TO 15 FT EARLY SUNDAY...LOWERING TO 5 TO 9 FT LATE IN THE DAY.
THEREFORE...SUNDAY EVENING...SCA FOR SEAS WILL STILL BE FORECAST.
SCA SEAS LINGER INTO EARLY MONDAY BEFORE DROPPING BELOW SCA FOR
BRIEF TIME THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE COMING UP TO SCA
AGAIN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THE APPROACHING NOR'EASTER WILL PRODUCE UP TO ONE AND A HALF
INCHES OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT...TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH ACROSS THE INTERIOR. THE PRECIP
WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW...SO NO HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS ARE
ANTICIPATED.
NO SIGNIFICANT WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED MOST OF NEXT
WEEK.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A POWERFUL NOR'EASTER WILL RESULT IN MULTIPLE EPISODES OF COASTAL
FLOODING AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE SAT INTO SUN.
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS ENCAPSULATE THE ENTIRE
COASTLINE OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE SAT MORNING AND EVENING HIGH
TIDE CYCLES. THE BIGGEST CHANGES WITH THIS UPDATE WERE TO CONVERT
THE COASTAL FLOOD WATCH ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL LI SOUND TO A
WARNING ACROSS THE NORTH SHORE OF LI AND NYC...AND AN ADVISORY
ACROSS THE CT COAST. IN ADDITION...THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY HAS
BEEN EXTENDED ACROSS EASTERN CT. THE COASTAL FLOOD WATCH FOR
MANHATTAN FOR SATURDAY EVE HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO AN ADVISORY.
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF CYCLES...THE TIMING OF THE STORM HAS PICKED
UP...THUS RESULTING IN A SURGE ABOUT 1/2 FOOT HIGHER FOR THE MORNING
HIGH TIDE CYCLE...AND SLIGHTLY LOWER IN THE EVENING AS THE WINDS
BACK TO THE NORTH. IN FACT...THE HIGHEST SURGE WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN
THE AFTERNOON BETWEEN THE HIGH TIDES. THE SOUND IS MOST LIKELY AREA
TO SEE THE HIGHEST TIDE COINCIDE WITH THE HIGHEST SURGE DURING THE
LATE MORNING HOURS.
FOR THE SATURDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE...POSITIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES OF 1
1/2 TO 2 FT ARE NEEDED FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AND 2 1/4 TO 3 FT
FOR MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING. CONTINUED TO TAKE AN AVERAGE OF BIAS
CORRECTED ESTOFS...ETSS AND STEVENS SURGE GUIDANCE...AND WEIGHT IT
TOWARDS THE HIGHER ETSS/ESTOFS SOLUTIONS WITH WINDS RAMPING UP
QUICKLY. THIS RESULTS IN A STORM SURGE OF 2 TO 3 FT WITH THE MOST
LIKELY LOCATIONS TO SEE MODERATE TO LOCALIZED MAJOR ALONG THE SOUTH
SHORE OF WESTERN/CENTRAL LI...THE LOWER REACHES OF NY HARBOR...TIDAL
PORTIONS OF THE HACKENSACK AND PASSAIC RIVERS...AND THE NORTH SHORE
NYC AND WESTERN LI. THE GALE TO STORM FORCE NE WINDS WILL LIKELY
PILE WATER IN THESE LOCATIONS.
FOR THE SAT EVENING HIGH TIDE...POSITIVE TIDAL DEPARTURES OF 2 TO 2
1/2 FT ARE NEEDED FOR MINOR COASTAL FLOODING...AND 3 TO 4 FT FOR
MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE IS CONTINUING TO
SHOWS WINDS BACKING TO NORTH A LITTLE FASTER...WHICH HAS RESULTED IN
SLIGHTLY LOWER SURGE VALUES...BUT STILL LOOKING FOR A 3 TO 4 SURGE.
CONTINUED TO TAKE AN AVERAGE OF BIAS CORRECTED ESTOFS...ETSS AND
STEVENS SURGE GUIDANCE...AND WEIGHT IT TOWARDS THE HIGHER
ETSS/ESTOFS SOLUTIONS. THIS RESULTS IN A WARNING/ADVISORY
CONFIGURATION VERY SIMILAR TO THE MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLE. THE ONE
CHANGE IS THAT THE LOWER REACHES OF NY HARBOR ARE UNDER A COASTAL
FLOOD WARNING AND ADVISORIES INCLUDE EASTERN LI AND SE CT.
JUST FOR REFERENCE...BASED ON LOCAL IMPACT CATALOGS...A SURGE OF
CLOSE TO 5+ FT WOULD BE NEEDED SAT EVE FOR START OF IMPACTS AT
LGA. A SURGE OF 4+ FT INTO JAMAICA BAY FOR START OF IMPACTS AT JFK.
BOTH OF THESE SCENARIOS ARE NOT EXPECTED.
ANOTHER ROUND OF MINOR TO LOCALLY MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS PARTICULARLY THE SOUTH SHORE BAY LOCALES WITH THE
SUNDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE AS WATERS WILL LIKELY BE SLOW TO RECEDE.
IN ADDITION TO SURGE POTENTIAL...AN EASTERLY SWEEP OF 8 TO 12
FT SURF WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR DUNE TOE EROSION ALONG ALL
ATLANTIC OCEAN BEACHES AND POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED OVERWASH FOR
THE BARRIER BEACHES FROM FIRE ISLAND AND POINTS WEST ON SAT INTO
SUN. THIS IS BASED ON USGS COASTAL CHANGE HAZARDS MODELING FOR A
GALE FORCE NOR-EASTER. IN ADDITION...THE OPEN WATER EXPOSED
GARDINERS BAY AREAS OF THE TWIN FORKS OF LI WILL ALSO BE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION.
