Fortunate to be in the band, hopefully it fills in for those missing out.

Eyeballing 9” with it still ripping. 

I measured 7” at 8:45. It’s a heavy snow, no ice crust at the base however. 

In any event, absolutely dumping out here in southwest Morris County. Looks like a nice band about to set up shop; double digits are within reach. 

29 degrees here, fine flakes. Eyeballing 5.5” on the ground. Thinking 8-10” easy will be reached in this part of Morris County. 

Best storm in 2 years; it was needed! 

@RevWarReenactorthey have 4-5” on the ground, now.

Meaning compared to the model runs as of yesterday, that cut the projected totals to “1-2”, they’ve already tripled up. 

My brother texted to say he just measured 5.25” on the ground in Franklin, NJ (Sussex).

He had 1” at 3:30 a.m. when he let the dog out. Rippage. 

Those reports of 4-5” otg, north of my location, are awesome, considering the modeled cut-back that was going on yesterday.

Moderate snow down here in Chester, everything covered. Bring it on. 

Edit: town plows are out, just made a pass by the homestead. 

Southwest Morris County, elevation 725’; should be fun. Right on the border of a heavy thump of precip. 

Icon seems reluctant to let go of that primary low that it drives into Altoona.

Do you disagree that the earth is warming?

No; I disagree with the purported rate of warming and I am not yet persuaded the warming is driven by AGW as opposed to natural variability. 

Anyway, this thread was derailed a long time ago and apparently is the new climate change forum, so I thought I would chime in.

Not when the data is overwhelming. 

It is if the data is not reliable at the out set of the theory formulation; garbage in, garbage out was what I was taught. 

Not stating the specific climate data discussed is “garbage”, however I think even NOAA has recognized certain data sites are potentially susceptible to bias in either direction.  When dealing with half degree to degree changes when compared to recorded historical data, I think all data needs to be raw, not adjusted/smoothed out.
 

I know this statement will get considerable push back…Carry on. 

Nice coating on everything; looks like winter. 

Evidence of graupel here in chester. 

Heavy rain here; good luck up north!

I will let you know. We are at 740’ asl; in chester. 10 miles north of 78. 

Finally a good old fashioned hp northwest of us in Quebec… 

The weenie tags are losing their effect in my opinion…. 

For those of us living outside the ambit of the metropolis, thank you for tracking. 

12 degrees here; hit 9 last week.

So not my coldest of this winter, but refreshing to say the least. 

2” here; gets me over 10” this month. Better than last year…

Snowing moderately with fine flakes in Chester. Road is getting covered. 

Light snow in Chester.
 

Just passed 4 NJDOT vehicles on 206 north in Bedminster. Somehow one of the salt trucks drove off the shoulder into the grass area, with its rear tires buried 3” in mud. Rather impressive how far off the roadway he got that truck stuck. 

9 here; my dad in Lexington VA dropped to 8!

When Washington crossed the Delaware there were ice jams. Can only imagine how they survived those winters.

They were much tougher; but a good many of them froze to death after eating their own shoe leather due to lack of food. 

9/1 currently. Lovely morning. 

That 12 spot in Atlanta is likely doing some damage. Not sure what the “r” values are down that way. 

Freezing mess at the office in Basking Ridge. My brother in Franklin (Sussex) reports moderate snow and approaching 6” as he is currently clearing/plowing. 

Got 2” here, light snow continues. Schools closed, courts on a delay. Always fun.
