Sounded like a crazy one at JFK last night...

I was working late last night and decided to tune into JFK Tower/Ground on
liveatc.net. I don't know what it looked like up that way last night, but it
must have been pretty crappy out.

I'm about 35 miles to the southeast. It started snowing early in the afternoon
with the temperature around freezing. By 8:00, the temperature was around 20
degrees and the snow had pretty much stopped. With that kind of temperature
drop, much of the snow was actually tiny ice crystals. By around 4:00, a crust
had formed on what snow was already on the ground. The wind kept a lot of the
stuff airborne and the gusts would form clouds of snow.

From my kitchen, it was interesting to watch the snow traveling *up* during wind
shifts. When I was out walking the dog around 8:30, visibility went to about 50'
during a few of the gusts.
