Any idea how much we ended up with @rgwp96?  It was ripping here last night, so my guess is 3 inches or more.

1.72 was it radar was way over done.  Other 1.12 today . Almost 72 inches for the year and 9.48 for the month

@rgwp96 7" here on the dot with an icy crust on top, we were forecast to get a few inches just a couple of days ago.  Never went to rain, just sleet.  Impressive storm for November 15th.

Amazing how ill prepared this state was (the metro as a whole really).  We've had far worse storms that were handled better.

Think it had to do more with toming  and intensity and the type of snow itself .  Snow seemed very grainy and icy texture . Probably low ratios . Snow stuck almost instantly to pavement .  Also started as heavy sleet for about 15-20 minutes  before switching to snow 

6.6 , went to sleet 

6.3 still snowing . Sleet line has to be close

You sure it doesn't just sound like sleet as snow is hitting the leaves?

No it was pure sleet , back to snow now , by the way sleet was also reported in sparta (Sussex county )

Why to hell  am i sleet in Morris county ?

I’m in northern morris county nj, started as snow and went right to sleet in 5 minutes 

2,65 so far , yearly total of 63.96

Rain was way off so far , only .60 here so far 

29.2 was my low . Thought it was going to get very cold as that was basically the temp at midnight but s pretty much stayed the same all night 

29.9 , hard freeze here as it’s been at or below 32 for hrs

N&W it has been an entirely different world.

With today’s rain I am at 3 inches for the month already

The 12z NAM has been spot on so far with the positioning of Michael. The forecasted 15z position is almost identical to the current position of the center.

I would put the odds extremely low that anyone outside of coastal NJ or Long Island receives much rain from Michael itself. 

With that being said, we're going to remain in the moist Southwest flow for the next several hours which will give us intermittent periods of convection. The cold front is still back over Central Ohio currently.

.68 fell by me in a short period in Morris county

Yesterday's rainfall in New York City was 0.69". Total precipitation for 2018 is now 48.52". That ranks 2018 as the 43rd wettest year, just behind 1969 when 48.54" precipitation fell.

Bridgeport picked up 2.83".

Another 2 plus here , over 58 inches for the year

Through 9 am, Central Park had picked up 0.77" rain, bringing 2018's total precipitation to 47.83". That ties 2018 with 1926 as NYC's 48th wettest year on record.

Thanks don , I’m at 56.62

That's impressive...over 62" already!

Ok since that seemed high I just went over my monthly totals and saw an error in April . I should be at 56.62 for the year . For some reason it  doubled my April totals

Wow!  A shout-out to my old home town - lived there 1950-71.  Wonder if that reading came from the Smoke Rise section, which includes the town's highest elevations.  (We lived near West Fayson Lake @ 700'.)  Anyway, an excellent discussion - thanks.

I've been recording my wx obs at 9 PM since 1/1/76, and continued to do so after joining cocorahs in 8/09.  So my board-clearings come at those 2 times.  (For the current storm it was 9.0" at 9 PM and 5.0" at 7 AM, and for this time at least, the gain in depth - 23" to 37" - was equal to the sum of the 2 measurements.)

No it came from your old area fayson lakes . I believe the actual road was cliff trail

Per the NJ state climatologist: "When things were reconsidered in 2012, the 6-hour option was removed except for "when instructed."

Now, I'm not sure of the frequency of this usage, but apparently the 6-hour option is not in use, only when instructed to do so by the NWS (usually airport).

Tom it seems Nj removed a report of 31 inches off their report last week because the spotter told them he used the clearing off method.  Most areas in my county got 23-25 inches and that town which borders mine came in with 31 . Some questioned it and it was taken off the report .

So much subjectivity...anyway, 24.7" peak depth....31" snowfall. 

Either way it’s a lot of snow and a great storm
