11:45. 19". Last ripper of a band pivoting in. Need to get to 24.5" to secure the bet.

I thought I was just measuring in a bad spot but went around for 15 minutes with the yardstick. Local measurements nearby are in the 12-14" range here too.

Freehold is gonna hit 30". Already at 24.2" there. But 5 days ago Steve D said there was no storm threat.

Got the snowshoes out and made a path to my measuring spot in the open field. 12.5" average as of 8 AM. Do we make it to 20"? Not so sure anymore.

Successfully napped off the migraine. There's easily another 3-4" on the roofs of the cars in the yard. Big 2' drift in between them. Peak gust of 52 mph. Still have yet to see a crusher of a band on top of me. Think the only thing saving the snow total are the higher ratios. This new stuff I can't pack into a snowball. I'd guess 15:1?

Could've played a part too lol. Classic migraine symptoms on my end. Runs in the family and my brother has one too. A migraine pill and I'll nap it off for a couple hours.

Ocean County has been kinda screwed over with the banding over the last couple hours.

About 8.5-10” in the yard after poking around for a bit. Then again I have drifts of 18” and spots that have bare ground from the blowing snow. Luckily with the wind direction, the driveway seems to be a wind tunnel blowing the snow right out and down the street. Less shoveling for me. Negatives? The rapid pressure drop has given me a migraine

Need to see some yellow.

Yesterday was beautiful out. Makes you wonder how people way back before weather forecasting existed would've felt with a blizzard after a 50 degree spring-like day.

6:30. 4" on the lawn. 2.5" on the road. Final measuring spot will be an open soccer field about 1/4 mi from me. Still SN/+SN. Visibility still around 1/4/ - 1/2 mile. Massive flakes, heavy wet snow. Rate's about 1.5"/hr

Too bad, I'll be out scouting the snow tonight/tomorrow. State Police only posting because their Durangos and Tahoes only have 8" of ground clearance. I have 15"

Nearing blizzard conditions along the shore. Sustained 30-35, gusts to 45 mph. Gonna go out and have fun in the go kart and sleds for a few hours.

5:30 PM. 2.5". 1" on roadways. SN/+SN

1" on cold surfaces. beginning to stick on sidewalks and roadways. Visibility down to 1/2 mile. Mdt to hvy snow.
