I updated one of our favorite storms of this sub-forum, and one of mine as well. Got into the meat of it in the CT band that rotated and pivoted overhead with a final of 14.4". Only 24hrs before hand we holding out hopes that the NAM & RPM were right. But last minute positive trends turned this into a major storm for 95 and a historic storm for the NY/NJ metro area.

I know that showing the sharp cutoff can be tough if you don't have enough reports but I only had .4 on the board for that one. Not 4" but .4, a terrible bust for my neck of the woods due to one of the sharpest cutoffs I've recorded.

They got absolutely blasted and the official ob from 2 days ago had 51” on the ground. I believe it. 

Marquette had a very solid 18" pack a week ago before getting that dump, there are massive piles there for sure. Cool videos too of highway crews working on opening up the country roads.

Nice. I still have a couple plowed dirty piles along my driveway, exciting stuff. A solid winter but Feb and March were disappointing here for snowfall after a nice December and January.  

Just a reminder for people who want to shorten it today and don't have a clue. That said, according to @BxEngine the Irish invented the greatest goodbye and that's all that really matters anyway. 

Yeah, that was something last night when that woke me up and literally blasted through here. My bedroom drapes were moving back and forth like I had the window cracked open, which I didn't. Didn't lose power and no damage here from what I see so far but I know other parts of Orange County weren't as lucky with trees coming down on buildings and cars. 

Went over Greenville Mountain on 84 today and saw a few very small patches of snow in the woods.

I came home after a trip earlier this week to find 3 feet of meltwater in my basement after a sump pump failure. Should be under control now but the pump will certainly keep working with another inch of rain incoming

That sucks but glad it's under control.

This wasn't a bad forecast from Upton

It was IMBY but that is typical with storms like that, the cutoff will getcha wherever it sets up.

This map is the best one yet for this storm. Your attention to detail is exceptional.

It sure is, I was just looking at stuff from the 80's and 90's, all very well done for my neck of the woods.

Good morning Rob, Gravity. My delusional old man snow stick ( with my daughter’s pug Frank in the background ) looks forlornly at, perhaps, the last flakes of the cold season. Maybe next year, my friend, ……… if we both make it. Stay well, as always ….

My father-in-law is with us this week, he turned 84 in Feburary. You'll make it.

I got .2 on some surfaces.

Garbage can tops? Zilch here, not even a trace on the board. 

Back to just spitting flakes again.

Yeah, same out here now with light snow. It had been spitting flakes most of the day and the very light stuff earlier didn't last much longer after my post about it. 

Some very light snow falling in central Orange County now.

56 / 51 cloudy showers with temps dropping to around 30 as we come down the coaster.  What many forecasts had as a dry week will yield another inch or > for many areas as suspected.  0.30 in the bucket last night and overnight.  Perhaps some snow mixed in today towards the end after showers/rain thunderstorms. Near normal the next few days and through this weekend.  A warmer monday is brief with the next round of rain / storms moving through.  Much chillier Tue/Wed perhaps highs around 40 and lows back into the 20s.  Moderation beyond there towards the 21st  with a back and forth overall warmer side of normal.

 

I'm down close to 20 degrees over the past two hours.

Nobody said accumulating snow, just some flakes in the air. 

Certainly seperate thread worthy...

.95” with more showers moving in, temp and dews started dropping here a little over an hour ago, each down at least 10 degrees in the past hour, 52/47

.95" so far, the front finally just got through here a few minutes ago with a nice gust of wind, temps and dews finally dropping.

Another high of 80 today, can't wait for that front to get through here overnight. 

The last of my natural snow cover went today, still plenty of piles. 

After a high of 80 today the peepers are loud and proud.

thanks

I just finished remapping and updating Boxing Day 2010 storm if anyones interested. There is also a new Lower Northeast map with all the climate sites on it as well as a bunch of extra images and maps related to the storm

https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/dec-26-27-2010

I expected to be fringed by that storm, like I was in 2006 but was pleasantly surpised to cash in on those 18". There was some great drifting both from the storm and the days after. 

79, almost time for AC installs.

People on main thread arguing over 300 hour models…save me.

there’s a reason you wait for 120 hours. In any case we’re almost certainly not done with winter yet; recent years have seen cold stretches get as deep into spring as early May. 
 

A nice moderate snowstorm to cap it all off would be lovely. Something like April 2018 with 5-6” that evaporated by early afternoon.

And the first who first posted that way too far out crappy snow accumulation map would be the first to call out someone else as banter and pointless to post a map that far out if it showed no snow.

And... poof. Snow's all gone. I'm good with spring now.

I have a little bit on a shady north facing slope and piles of course but even those are going fast. It was weird driving to work this morning without any snow banks aloong the roads, its been a while.
