    Yup. Lucked out with that one. Looked like the line was mostly collapsing (with occasional localized pulses), but strengthened just to my west and dropped an unexpected 0.44". Luck of the draw.
  2. mgerb
    0.48" for the day here. A nice surprise, as was expecting a few tenths at best.

    For NJ, I recommend this. And there's also CoCoRaHS, but most AM reports happened before all the rain had ended. https://www.njweather.org/maps/?refresh=1&map=precip_24hour

    I'd also say it depends on the time of year. Low 60 DPs in April is pretty muggy. Mid-summer, it's refreshing.

    Mid-90s in interior southern NJ. Yeesh.

    @RU848789 Not yet; haven't had the chance. I'll try to chime in this weekend!

    Something to consider from the MA thread, which makes sense. In other words, somewhat small changes upstream can really make a difference (in either way, of course).

    Yup, saw that's how what you do. That's not how it's done in CoCoRaHS and COOP, so I don't really agree with this article. Rather, the maximum accumulation over the prior day of all snow/sleet is what is reported each day. That said, passing this along to some "snow experts" to see if they've ever heard of this practice.

    I also don't clear the board except for ob time. If I cleared the board at transition, would obviously have more, but that's not really kosher (at least for CoCoRaHS).
  10. mgerb
    I had 7.6" around the time of transition, and every time I went back out to measure each hour, it remained at 7.6". So there was enough compaction to counter any sleet accum. Haven't been out since 4 PM though, so will check again at 7:00. Hopefully have resumed a bit of accumulation since then, rather than only making the existing back denser (but not deeper).

    Snow/sleet mix now. But still plenty of flakes.
  12. mgerb
    When I checked at 12, I had 0.64" (based on weight). Definitely a tough event to get an accurate SWE.
  13. mgerb
    Kickass. Keep it coming. Can't believe it's still 11 deg (edit: now 12 deg).
  14. mgerb
    What's your mix? Some snow, some sleet? Oddly, there's little signal on KDIX base reflectivity (or the other tilts), but KDOX shows it well.
  15. mgerb
    FWIW, HRRR hr 1 (12 PM) is too far south with the sleet line, as it appears to be approaching southern Mercer/Middlesex in NJ (based on CC and mPING). Around 7" so far here, so might be able to pull off low-end double digits with sleet included. But also suspect there will be some compaction with the sleet on top.
  16. mgerb
    Snow/sleet line is further north than this indicates. KDOX shows it well.
  17. mgerb
    OK, yeah. That was pretty unequivocal
  18. mgerb
    He's a met. Also, someone claimed he said that. Should probably get a quote about exactly what he did or didn't say. It might not have been so cut and dry (or maybe it was!).

    14.6" on the season just over the river in Somerset. 5" OTG this morning, with 5.7" in total over the past 2 days. I'll be working on compiling NJ snow totals for these two separate events that we'll post here: http://climate.rutgers.edu/stateclim/?section=menu&target=wint2526snowtotals Since the 1/18 event started before most morning ob times in 1/18, it will take some effort to split out the 1/17 and 1/18 snowfalls.

    Not as applicable to our latitude, but saw Buffalo gusted to 79 mph (though I see 75 mph, so not sure if the 79 is legit).
  22. mgerb
    FWIW, FV3 looks good (run not complete here)
  23. mgerb
    6.2" in Somerset (but well over 7" if measuring in grass, which is why it's important to use a board!). Might pick up a few more tenths before it tapers.
  24. mgerb
    Using our new Franklin station? Literally just finished installing yesterday. https://www.njweather.org/station/3678
