Yeah…they reported 32.8” at 1pm. The ASOS ob had a depth gain of 32” at that time. So their official is running a little over the depth change. So it’s probably 35-36” right now.

Fisheye view of the snow

When the GFS slipped east, we should have known

Hopefully the la nina is dead. That should help us next winter

Yep, better gust today than any time yesterday...

what 52:1 isn't realistic? Snow was fluffy, c'mon.

Here in the Merrimack Valley it has been a good storm but not great....

Of course not, man! I'm more than content with my 4". But ChatGPT might be a little bit mad.

Thanks appreciate the link!

I've been looking back at a lot of high wind blizzards...2015..2022 etc and noticed 30-70:1 ratios at the climate sites based on those liquid totals. Shame because its obviously wrong. Skews the overall climate data

By far. I enjoyed the first storm quite a bit more than yesterday. This one is already kinda sloppy looking. Still cool to look at when it's happening but the lifespan is much shorter come late Feb heading into March... 36F/cloudy

It would really be a shame if they don't get 3' on the event. Actually--if that's on the ground, is there an eventtotal for them I figure there must be some compacting of today's snow in there.

I don't know all the models that go into the NBM, but given the projections from the GFS, Euro, and other standard models which appear to have missed the mark by a substantial amount, perhaps we should start looking at some of these other models, especially for storms like this.

Isn’t measuring snow every 6 hours the NWS recommendation?!?!?

Arborvitaes in the backyard. The top 2 feet of snow is actually quite dry and just the initial layer is medium wetness. Haven't heard a plow since 5am, kinda peaceful just to enjoy it!

This arguably was a February 1978 redo. That's prolly already been noted, but whatever. I'm ready for thunderstorm season.

There was an area of "only" 15-20 inches in parts of Queens and Nassau County that got stuck between the bands in Suffolk and the insane band over NJ/Western NYC this morning. Thankfully this area did well between 4pm and 4am so the subsidence this morning didnt change much in the overall totals especially with the winds and drifts on Long Island in general. Where I live further south in Nassau we likely got close to 20 inches, but measuring is almost impossible due to the winds and drifts. Ive seen 2 measurement of 18.5 in Malverne and 24 in Lynbrrok, both within 2-3 miles of me.

Would love to see it. The last time it happened was 2013/14 57.4 inches, and 2014/15 50.3inches .

35” on 0.67” so far then

They were all sorts of red flags for lots of areas, but people tend to ignore such things. Still a great storm for most of Eastern 1/3 of MA.

Kind of shocked 2017/2018 was not snowier.

Over the years I've assembled top-15 snowfalls for sites from Wash D.C. to CAR, using several sources. Mostly the Utah State site until it became quite cumbersome 7-8 years ago, then using the CLIMOD2 site from Cornell, also some tables seen on these forums. I'm sure there re errors and omissions, but it's been a fun task, especially when I get to revise lists due to recent events. The very light snow has stopped, but I can see a tiny bit still clinging to the Forester's windshield. GYX had reduced yesterday's 3-5 forecast down to 1-3 this morning - moving in the right direction!

Accumulating snow pretty much over. Final total 15.3 inches in Eastern Orange County. A tale of two counties here, most of the southern to northeast part of the county 12-16 inches, 5 miles from that line a rapid drop to 4-6 inches.

Just weird bc the bands set up south to north generally so I wouldn’t expect places just to my south to have so much more. 10-15 min drive south to Plainview and 6-8 inch difference is surprising. I would expect it more east to west drop off on the island. .

Unfortunately ASOS is king, and that liquid is what goes in for the climate. Even if the snow observer reports more (or less).
