1.61” today before the current downpour here in Somerset County. Third separate Severe Tstorm warning since 630-7pm. 

Overperformer here in Hillsborough. Puking half dollar flakes. 

A lot of sleet now in Hillsborough.  

Dumping in Hillsborough. 

Crap graphics but was surprised by the bullish SREF mean at 21z. 

1/2” in Hillsborough. Light to mod fluff falling. You can tell we’ve been spoiled lately with the quietness of the board today even with current and several future threats. 

Close to your amount down in the “valley” near Amwell and 206. Yes the weenie band started up again. 

Banding heading a little NW but still coming down

Dumping here in Hillsborough. Banding for the win. 3-4” so far. 

Moderate borderline heavy snow here in Hillsborough. Big flakes. 

Moderate snow in Hillsborough NJ. Roads getting white again. 

Heaviest of event now. Banding Jersey coast west to PA. 

Quite a bit of sleet within the parachutes here in Hillsborough. 

What’s another 20” on top of the 9 we already have?  Thanks Nam. 

Puking here in Hillsborough. Looks to be over 5” probably more.

All the parameters argue heaviest snow likely is in a corridor across north central Westchester-Rockland-northern Bergen and Passaic and west.  Their positioning coupled with snow growth and being right near that -4C 850 isotherm tells me somewhere in that area gets 3-5 inches an hour for a time tomorrow

Makes me a little nervous to the south in Somerset Co. Going to be a big gradient between TTN and MMU. 

Moderate snow. 1/2” or so.

Moved Massapequa, NY 11758 to Dallas just after the Blizzard of 1978.  Dallas at least gets a dusting almost every Winter, Houston, last snow was a dusting in 2017.

One thing, one doesn't know what a real severe thunderstorm is living on Long Island.

That’s funny. I know personal experience sleeping in our basement as a kid in GA because of tornadoes. And having insulation in our yard from a nearby tornado. I also had 10” in superstorm of 93 shut us down for a week. I use to video flurries as a kid. Again, Im complacent now but still a kid at 43!

I moved here from the DC suburbs. We’ve already surpassed my last couple of dud winters! This is just gravy.

I moved to NJ from GA in 2004. I’ve become complacent already. I use to be ecstatic with flurries.

I already did with the storm in December.

I got only 2.3 inches last year

The point being all the complaining can go away.  If this pans out well, we’ve had really good snowstorms over the past 5 years. 
 

Btw, where’s snowman19?  Had to say it. 99% lurker so I’ll head back to my lurker shed.

Not sure if this will be the same with the crazy deform band. This seems to be much more based on the initial warm air advection snow then the low occludes/matures which would stop the consistent heavy snow banding. But maybe, who knows. 

Regardless I think we can say we will surpass the dud winter of last year in the next few days. We remain spoiled.

Usually when models start spitting out these type numbers there’s something to it. I’m not saying 4 feet but someone in PA or NJ I could see 2-3 feet. 

The banding watching will be fun. Like in December when I watched the biblical band in NC PA head and pivot to the BGM area. 

It’s a weenie clown map but when in our region have we ever seen 52” output in a storm?  Never!  

Nice surprise dusting and roads are white here in Hillsborough. Currently moderate cotton balls. 

Sleet mixed in  in Somerset County. Grrr.
