    That could be it also.

    For me, this was very hard to measure for some reason. I cleaned off the table last night, but my measurements still differed between 3.75" and 4.25" (a .50" range). I'm thinking that I did not do a great job cleaning off all the water residue, which then allowed some ice to form in certain areas. This perhaps caused the snow to begin accumulating on these icy patches first, therefore giving those sections a "head start" of sorts. Anyway, I'm sticking with 3.75" lol.

    3.75" here. Did you get a measurement @rgwp96?
  4. JerseyWx
    Very true. With early and late season storms, elevation is usually one of the most important factors. The thing that really helped my area this time, and the I-287 Corridor in general, was that mega band that just parked over us and dumped 3"+ an hour rates at times.

    I agree, measuring is so inconsistent and very subjective like Julian said. That's why I like that Rgwp and I got the same measurement. I'm not discounting the higher totals that were reported (25" in both Butler and Kinnelon), but at least we know that it was done to the best of our abilities. Avoiding drifts and not slant sticking are crucial lol.

    Nice. Unlike them we didn't catch a small drift Hopefully power comes back soon.
  7. JerseyWx
    Thanks man! Yeah you did mention it. That band was wicked. Social media reported 25" in Butler and Kinnelon, but 23" was my most consistent measurement so I feel comfortable.

    23" here. I'll post pics when I get power back. I mean that band was nuts. What a storm for March. Easily gave January 2016 a run for the money.

    Still snowing hard here, has to be approaching 18 inches.
  10. JerseyWx
    To tell you the truth, I just did a clean-up but neglected to measure lol. Easily over 6 inches though, and visibilities are less than 250 yards.
  11. JerseyWx
    lol. This Winter I tried rounding to the tenth for some storms, but it just did not feel right. For this one, I'm going back to my old ways. Incredibly heavy snow right now, easily the heaviest I've seen since the Blizzard of 2016.
  12. JerseyWx
    Yeah, the month looks to close out very wet. Lots of rain chances.
  13. JerseyWx
    I'm actually surprised mine went away so fast. I have bare spots already.
  14. JerseyWx
    I agree. About 8 inches here.
  15. JerseyWx
    Yeah, it's icy. Very unexpected, even for us.
  16. JerseyWx
    I can't believe I'm going to say this, but today is one of my favorite kind of Winter days. Cold, but not overly so, light gray overcast skies, and flurries flying.
  17. JerseyWx
    My forecast was 13. The last couple of days have actually been sneakily cold IMO. Looks like a wet and mild weekend ahead.
  18. JerseyWx
    Couldn't agree more, don't want people just getting into the hobby to be misinformed.
  19. JerseyWx
    Lol the freezing lines at the surface and 850mb essentially cut right through MBY.
  20. JerseyWx
    Absolutely. I don't like that method at all. I think it's more "natural" to take one measurement at the end of the event and call it the storm total snowfall.

    February is usually when I get "excited" about our snow chances. As CP mentioned in the other thread, this region has a high concentration of snowfalls that occur during the Feb. timeframe. However, it's also a short month, and by March we all know that Spring is just around the corner. This weeked looks quite "torchy" with highs for many of us potentially reaching 50° or greater.
  22. JerseyWx
    Lol, well at least Mt. Holly put out a Special Weather Statement for icy conditions tonight.
  23. JerseyWx
    @rgwp96 I remeasured later on and got 2.1", which makes sense since when I took the first observation it continued to snow for a couple of hours (albeit lightly). Have to watch out for that layer of ice under everything too, very slick. Definitely disappointed with the totals, however like others have said, the scenery afterwords was nice. I'm amazed that we still haven't had a 6"+ snowfall yet.
  24. JerseyWx
    @rgwp96 Measured 1.75" at 8:40am with an icy layer underneath.

    I miss the days of the 287 cutoff regarding significant accumulations for the Jersey crew. Curious to see where the "threshold" will setup this time.
