Didn't expect this much, 2.3" here.  What did you get @rgwp96?

I measured 2 and went back to bed and it was still snowing. After shoveling and everything I remeasured 2 but was hrs after it stopped. I prob had the same as you. I’m at an even 20 for the year 

2 inches over night . Def a surprise with nws forecast of under an inch finally an over performer (butler , northern morris county )

IMO, It's shifting the goal posts to further exacerbate how little snow some areas have had.  However, the November storm counts, plain and simple.  Our seasonal totals include anything that falls, even if it is outside of Met Winter.

By the way A pathetic 1.3 today

exactly.   Although if we could get one good storm in March, I'd be all in and then flip to spring right after.

Yup I’ll take a 12 plus one but other wise I want spring 

Another storm another under performer , poor Mt holly and upton are having a really bad winter for snow forcasting. Lol

sorry for the delay. RH is relative humidity.  Models are generally very good at forecasting deep layered high humidity precipitation, but are not so good with precip at layers of high humidity below ~3000 feet (example when a dry slot cleans out the high humidity above 3000 feet). In yesterdays case, With still very high humidity trapped below the inversion, and probably a temperature of nearly -8C somewhere in that layer, and just a bit of lift (with the secondary developing near the coast-there was convergence here), fine snow may have been produced because snow generally needs to be generated with ice nuclei in a saturated layer of ~ -8C or colder.  Also, as a side bar...when precip is changed to rain by a warm layer aloft, it can refreeze to ice pellets (sleet), with a temperature of -6C below that above freezing layer, or to ice pellets by a deep layer of sub0C below the above freezing layer. Anyway, hopefully the first part of your message is answered and my reasoning is possibly not the only answer. 

Walt a Met here a few years ago here  kind of explained the same thing saying the fine snow must have formed right below the warm layer . I’m in butler and had that fine snow as well most of the day . They were needle shaped  when I examined them on my glove.

Funny thing is, I measured on it and got 2 inches as well.  Now it's freezing rain.  Glaze on everything.

Sidewalks were terrible this am and  side roads . Temps peaked at midnight at 33 than slowly dropped to a low of 30.8 at 430. What’s odd was the most ice I saw on trees was looking towards riverdale (also butler heights area behind hs )and Bloomingdale . Hills to my west and north  are higher in elevation   (kinnelon and west Milford) had no signs of ice in trees  . I have a decent view of both areas from my street

Yeah I'm running a one inch deficit here lol.  About to go measure.

Can’t use the picnic table for this one

Not including this storm, I'm at 13.5" so far.

I was at 14.3 somehow , just measured 2 for this one

@rgwp96 1.25" and now it's ripping sleet.  Looking like another underwhelming event (4-6" per NWS yesterday).

Yes and I knew it , on my Facebook I told people 2-4 and may just reach  my low  end , pathetic . What’s your yearly total now

2 hours ago, JerseyWx said:

Visibility down to 50 yards I'd say.  Most impressive squall I've seen in awhile.

I’ve never seen anything like what we got this afternoon was a site to see 

23 minutes ago, JerseyWx said:

What is your seasonal total so far?  I'm at 12.75" including today.  Pretty amazing that we went through November, December, and basically all of January only to get a foot of snow.  First week of February starting out warm too.

13.8 . U must have missed one of our big 1 inch storms lol 

33 minutes ago, JerseyWx said:

I was just going to ask what you recorded before the changeover.  I didn't have time to measure this morning.  Can't believe we never switched back to snow. 

I was total opposite of what mt holly predicted lol 

4 hours ago, JerseyWx said:

Still rain here.

1.5 before switch to rain, another  under performer . Weird storm 

4 hours ago, JerseyWx said:

All surrounding stations are 2" or greater for today.  Yet another big rainstorm in the middle of winter.

2.27 in my tipping gauge and 2.38 in tube gauge

@IrishRob17 Or others:

Last night I recorded 2.5" of snow before sleet and freezing rain came in.  I would log that number correct?  If I'm not mistaken you are supposed to measure when the p-type switches over, no?

2.3 for me and I was above freezing the time it turned over . What a  pathetic istorm

What about you @rgwp96

Yup pretty much the same
