Tbh I'm not salty about that in particular. I didn't mind the suggestion at all and I honored it. I only just said it because I didn't think it mattered now that the storm is basically over. But if they want me to still not talk about it then I won't. No problem at all. ...I'm just salty in general. This whole miss has me feeling some type of way and I don't know why.

1.56” of liquid equivalent (all in the form of snow except perhaps the first .01-.02”) has fallen at NYC/C Park as of the 10AM and it’s still coming down very heavily! This storm is nearly beyond description. https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KNYC.html

It’s coming down hard now

One other thing while I nerd out over this system- some areas north of 20” have seen ratios around 8:1. There is A LOT of beef to what’s fallen so far. It is insanely hard to get these amounts with any storm much less one with poor ratios like this one. That has to be mashed potatoes up there

He back !! Legro !!

in metuchen? i'm in colonia, i don't measure, i try to go with locals but there can be significant variance even locally.

2 feet is always a beatdown. Congratulations!

The RGEM never wavered up here! That should have been a red flag

When they officially update I will. As of last measurement they were 15.1 at 7AM. I would hope they measure at least 20 by now.

At 11" as of 9:15. Pretty significant gradient too. I'm at 11 and there's a report of 11 in Manchester in that 9am hour, while just to my north in South Windsor they have a report of 7.5 and just of that Enfield to SW corridor Ellington and Vernon are at double digits. Models were deadly with that shadowing effect. Picking back up down this way too. Trying at least. HFD was very very close. Hit it at the 7:53 and 8:53am obs, but not 9:53. Not sure if they'd count any of the 5 min obs in that hour. Doubt it. Thanks. I consider myself very lucky. Hopefully we can all get a couple as this rotates out. We still have a few hours to go.

I think the snow total ranges were spot on but the only thing that perhaps "under performed" were the winds west of the Delaware River. I am about 5 miles east of KLOM (Wings Field) and the strongest gusts have so far been around 22 mph throughout the event so far - https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KLOM.html ("real time" updated link). It's possible as the storm continues to bomb out and move away, the pressure differential may kick up the winds and blow a lot of this stuff around.

I'm not sure but I gotta be nearing 30...

Great, no school for the kids again on Friday lol. I’ll take it though for 4-6

Be careful shoveling above anything with snow… had a big chunk of snow/slush blow off the roof and nearly decapitate me…

Good day when you can say "come up short" and have 18-20" otg.

Definitely not complaining. I was in Manassas, VA Friday and it was 60 degrees there, so hot in the sun. Glad this could happen right after!

19° and "windy" with a few inches and this is the light stuff, impressive storm reach

Totally astounded by the crush job here. Can’t even look outside to see what’s going on. It’s a movie-like. Probably a 50 year or 100 year storm for RI. Usually those 35-40 dbz bands don’t stick around for this long. Thankfully power is still on, though half the town is out. Officially changing my handle to 39/70 Benchmark after this one…

7 inches here. Wonder what Highland Lakes got as they can double what I get since I am in the valley. RGEM I felt did the best for up here showing the cutoff earlier than HRRR and NAM but I know it underperformed pretty badly for SE folks.

If I didn't come back for this one, I was never coming back. Pants optional on the ops floor today.

Looks like a nice saturday but the cold is persistant on the long range. Need some days of melting or I might loose my mind.

I see a 6" was reported in Goshen at 1015a. Those 10"+ plus amounts were prob just east of there. Not exactly 2016 but pretty impressive in terms of cutoff. In 2016 I remember Minisink closing schools because the southern part of the school district near unionville & pine island receiving 12"+ amounts while those in Otisville & Mount Hope had T-1". Now thats a cut off!

Puking snow in Massapequa

dont you mean 20 inch snowstorm by now?
