You really make a case that Jan 1996 is still the king of them all for Jersey. So many what ifs in 2010... February 6, 2010 and December 2010; both worthy of giving 96 a run for its money.
And the banding in Dec 2010 for the Westfield area was bonkers, my friend claims it was a bit better than 96 over there (32.1" vs 30" in 96) I only wish that we got into the bands that Un...

Good point of view. Its a tough call either way; of course, 96 much longer as you know, whereas Dec 2010 had better snow rates and wind, I really was pretty shocked at the winds from Dec 2010 and its power. Scary it all fell in around 18 hours... if Dec 2010 was 6 hours longer, wow, really would have possibly exceeded Jan 1996.

Yes, JAN 1996 had a bit higher snow total here as well, (My father tells me 27" fell in '96, as compared to 24" with this past one, which I measured). But if this past one was just six more hours longer (full 24 hours) all of us would have been 30-36" range rather easily... I think an overlooked storm(s) that dumped 30+ over our regions are: March 1914 and December 1915....

This is #1.... given EVERYTHING that has happened with the modeling, banding, snow rates, winds, and the short but very intense duration..... This blizzard does it for me... Move over January 1996.....
