Looks like NWS is investigating possible 24 hour state snowfall record in Montague NJ of 33.2". The mid DEC 2020 storm also had a possible state record in Peru VT of 44.2". Two 24 hour state records in one season---pretty damn impressive. If they are confirmed. NJ weather: Did NJ break state snow record? 33 inches may be top mark (app.com)

97.3" as of this morning per your neighbor. I'm guessing you added more than 2.7" since that 7am ob.

Picked up .5" today, running total 9.8" Deep winter feel out there right now--snowpack IMBY doesn't seem that different from mid Dec when I had 30" OTG right after that storm. Depth was 20.5" at 7am this morning, probably settled some today. 22F with some under the radar needles falling slowly.

Yea, and by the time this moves out the Friday shortwave is coming in...days and days. Hoping for a couple extra inches here before Friday.

9.3" here. Probably lost some accumulation on the downslope with the wind and fractured dendrites. The Landgrove Cocorahs guy near me at 1900' I think had little over 12" but almost identical liquid to me, so that makes me think the wind on the western slopes brought down the accum a bit.

Oh, totally know. I was 17 in 96 and also grew up in Mid Atl so we are in the same boat as far as our childhood storms. 83, 87, 96 were the biggest in recall as a kid. Feb 87 I think was a relative surprise in the western Philly burbs that dropped 2ft. Of course 93 too..lot of sleet with that..think around 12" in that.

Mitch and the bodies getting crushed up into my area also in SVT. S+

3-4" and crushing right now. Winds are insane..accurate measuring FTL.

Nice, where are you? Painful slow creep of the radar up here. Nothing but some gusty NE winds.

5 years between 24" storms is a ridiculous return rate for NJ--just seems like 2ft storms grow on trees right now.

We need PF or Gene to post Euro kuchie for a side by side with GFS..ha. Lots of potential..man.

Sure, why not. No cutters in sight, which is nice to see. If that Grinch didn't happen, man what a ridiculous base there would be. Its already decent now.

Reggie snows for like 60-70 hours straight here...

I was kidding, but who knows, maybe?

Yep, that spot just gets firehosed off the Atlantic with easterly upslope. Just looking at a topo map you can see the long relatively flat terrain to the SE.

Skinning Mammoth?

Yea, most likely. Unless a mid level deform sets up over NVT down through NYS, which is possible. But yes, most of them will clean up on the uplsope no matter what.

Seems like there is going to be some screw zones somewhere. EEN down through Hippy's area seems to show up on a lot of models. Expecting a little less here too on the western slopes with raging E/NE winds. Maybe make it up some when winds turn N/NW. Super tricky forecast, going to be interesting to see this play out.

April was always my favorite month in the Mid Atl. No bugs and lots of nice days with lots of blooming, trees, flowers etc. Its literally the only month I would take out of the12 months vs here in VT. The rest of the months in Mid Atl are too hot or not snowy enough. The bugs are ridiculous here though--best time of summer for me is AUG/SEPT when the fly family goes away and weather is just perfect. Screened in porch FTW in NNE, that along with a bad ass mudroom...ha.

Certainly didnt mind waking up to read this out of ALY: 1) Forecast models have shown a northwestward expansion of snowfall that encompasses a good portion of the forecast area. 2) Forecast confidence is increasing on the fact that a good portion of the forecast area will be impacted by this coastal storm. 3) Confidence is increasing that this will be a long-duration storm with snow coming in as early as Sunday night/Monday morning and persisting to Wednesday morning/afternoon. This storm system has overachiever potential given recent model trends and some of the items mentioned above.

-9.1F here. Saw a couple -15F lower down the hill from me.

I know--I'm kidding. Your a little more polarizing than Bob--ha. I lurked in your guys forum for years in the 2010-2014 range when I lived in southern PA just because it was much more active than the Philly one and a had a lot of knowledgeable posters--and my climo was similar to those NW burbs. I loved his posts--like you said very level-headed and also easy to understand for the average weenie. Especially his long range stuff--just remember he was able to simplify it enough really anyone could understand without needing a MET degree. There were some other good ones too that don't seem to be around anymore. Also some ones that are still around that I just wasn't fond of their posting style

AMWX emoji record that may stand for a long time...until Phin makes his triumphant return to the mid atl forum...

Might be some extremities exposed if that cutter is right on the day 8 Euro.

Being where you and Phin are are just going to better in any cutter-you can hold off the warmth alot longer than say down here where I am. And right, even with cutters there will usually be some backside upslope to restart things. Like we stated before, that grinch isn't happening again--that was a freak show 50F/49F with winds and rains for like 24 hours. I mentioned this a month or two ago, but we had a strong cutter that dumped 3-4" of rain IMBY and the snowpack just soaked it up. Temps were probably mid-upper 30s.
