Another one now! House shaking notably!

Same here. Pretty intense. Light fixtures were swinging and dishes were rattling. When it was over almost all the pictures in the house were noticeably crooked. It all started with a loud sonic boom type of a sound.

Was legit scary as someone just posted. Imagine if it happened in the middle of the night.

Never felt one like that before. Pictures are crooked on the wall, light fixtures were swaying and dishes in the display cabinet were jiggling. Loud boom proceeded the shaking. I thought for a second it was Picatinny but quickly realized it was a quake. Was quite long one as quakes go around here.

Over 3" rainfall from event. Just waiting for the gauge to thaw to confirm total. Measured .3" snow depth at 8am. May have been more than that in the predawn hours but .3" is all I can confirm. I suspect it may have been as much as .5 - .8" earlier in the morning. Gradually melting now as temperature climbing to near 40 at this hour. More measurable snow for me in April than March. March only a Trace. Updated: Event total melted precipitation = 3.28".

Never got out of the 30's here today. Briefly hit 39 and has been hovering between 36 and 37 all afternoon. Still periods of heavy rain at time and winds still ripping.

Still moderate rain here. Temp is down from 39 earlier to 37. Event total now up to 2.12".

Two day event total here is 1.86". Periods of rain ongoing. Cold and windy as well. Temperature was 37 at 7:30 a.m. and is only 39 currently. Ground is sodden again.

So sorry. I know the feeling well.

You might be fine. I'm only leaving extra early because have no idea what traffic will be like. Hoping most get in place by Sunday night and traffic is ok on Monday morning. Bigger concern is everyone leaving once it it done. That's why thinking of getting a room Monday night and coming home early Tuesday.

Still moderate to heavy rain here.

Plan on leaving Jersey early (5:00, maybe 4:00) Monday morning. Tentative destination Batavia, NY but will adjust along the way depending on any cloud coverage or arriving clouds. Thinking of getting room Monday night to avoid the crowds heading back.

Moderate to heavy rain here currently and 42 degrees. Pretty nasty out.

Results pretty much the same but this system is nothing like what was modeled 4-6 days ago. Only real difference in sensible weather will be much less wind and coastal effects around here. Significant rainfall and coastal effects (minor to some moderate beach erosion and tidal flooding) from onshore flow will still occur albeit on a lesser scale that what was originally modeled. Yet another 4-6 day long range fail. I'm not suggesting a "snow fail" as that was never really in the cards for this sub forum. More of a very deep, slow moving coastal low fail.

Nice snow cover from western NY into CNE/NNE.

Event total here = 2.89". Some rainfall and snowfall maps. Two day event totals. Click graphic to enlarge.

Yeah, 99% of this sub forum would have switched to rain and or sleet even with the coldest of air masses in places. Mainly because of 850's would have failed for more inland locations and sfc on up would have failed closer to coast with onshore e to e.s.e. flow. At this point who cares anyway.

Agreed. Will be a soaker between now and then though.

Aside from a brief cool down over the weekend and into next week (cool down is relative to what is going on now) it looks to warm back up afterwards and pattern is looking rather dry for next 10 days or so and maybe even a bit beyond that.

Same here about two weeks ago. More than I have seen at any time of the year. Lots of bird activity.

Pretty much the same here. Daffodils are 95% in bloom, at least on the south side of the house. Shady locations are lagging behind but still ahead of schedule. Never have seen so much bird activity so early, that started almost 2 weeks ago.

Was sooo close. If the surface low track was about 75 miles more to the east it would have had crippling effects across the NYC metro area. It was bad as it was but could have been much worse with much more snow and drifting if track was displaced a bit to the east. The 60 hour 4 panel DIFAX prog is framed and hanging on my wall to this day.

Nice read on February 2024 and Winter 23-24 for NJ. That freakish snow event on 2/16 - 2/17 saved the winter for locations in the CNJ area. Take that event out and it would have been a true ratter. https://www.njweather.org/content/lost-winter-february-2024-winter-20232024-recaps

3.7 above....do I hear 4.0.... Has been rising as the month progresses as have most of the previous months. Where March finishes will depend on how "chilly" and for how long it lasts next week. I think a 4.0 or a little higher finish is quite possible. Beautiful day today....If not going to snow I'll take this over cool, damp and rainy anytime.

Amazing stats there. I remember all 3 of those general events. Especially the early December bitter cold. As a young kid it seemed even more impressive than it actually was. If memory serves there was 4-6" snow Christmas night into the early morning hours of the 26th. Was supposed to be rain but storm tracked just far enough offshore for a 4-6" plastering. Pattern seemed to flip and hold right after Hurricane Belle went through.
