Damn you were still snowing? lol It stopped here around 8am. The sun was trying to poke out around 1p

Finally stopped around 2:30. It didn’t add much to the total it was melting on contact on the blacktop. 

Looks like we’re done with snowfall, 11.0” will be the total here.

Snowblower? Mine looks suspiciously like a shovel. It never leaks, it's lightweight and easy to handle so if I twist and flick just right it has a pretty good throw distance. If I twist wrong the shear pin still breaks though.

I have a Ariens 24”. It works great! I keep up with the maintenance on it and use fuel stabilizer. I use the Sno-Jet spray to prevent snow and ice accumulation in the auger and discharge shoot and it really helps when there’s a wet/shulshy snowfall.

My 5.5” melted down to .55

Wow that band was just to your east. I basically doubled your amount. Light snow currently, the wind is beginning to pick up a little, it was almost calm for the last couple of hours.

Did you measure or estimating? I saw 7 am observations of 11 inches in Cornwall and Beacon.

Estimated before. I measured not too long ago and have 10.50” as of noon.

Possibly the heaviest snow of the storm currently, getting wrecked.

About 9” here. How much down there in Nanuet?

So I’m in my little Toyota Camry, which has four-wheel-drive and I’m in the ShopRite parking lot and my estimate right now on the ground is anywhere between 6 and 8 inches and I’m being conservative, the plows are doing a great job, the parking lot is plowed. They keep going back-and-forth, but I’m in a safe spot, you can’t see in front of your face, the flakes almost the size of silver dollars, we are just in a super heavy snow band right now for the last hour or so, and it doesn’t look like it’s lighten up by looking at the radar

Stay safe

It is coming down like there’s no freaking tomorrow here in Pearl River, absolutely puking snow!!!!

Do you have an guesstimate on what you have accumulated so far?

6 inches under the best rates I've seen this season, including the 16+ inch storm in January. 

2 inches the last hour, 27.9° with heavy snow.

Really ramping up here closing in on 6”

Basically moving due north

Million dollar question is how far does it go due north? HRRR model has it going northeast.

4 inches even in eastern Orange County NY. 28 moderate snow. 

4.8” here. We’re in one of the heavy bands, I’m on the northern end of it.

You get double that and like it.

Was just going to post this.

lol.. agreed. I’ll be surprised if I end up with 10

It’s all about where the banding sets up. You could still be in the game, we’ll see.

I havent read the discussion yet but i know in some of uptons earlier comments, they were concerned that winds would be able to mix down a bit easier than in some of our other normal winter setups. So they may just be playing it safe because of those potential conditions.

Could be why they extend the blizzard warnings  northward into ulster and dutchess counties

I made this earlier for a friend in nw NJ. These are the 2 jackpot zones imo. I think the northern zone actually extends further northeast than that though. 

 

 

I’m also in agreement. My thoughts are on oragraphic lifting. Once the push off the ocean interacts with the mountains and the winds from the north, it will squeeze out moisture and dump it there.

I’m thinking half that here in Orange County. This was never our storm. Hopefully someone along the coast cashes in on the goods 

I could work out as some storms in the past where the east side of the county does better. All depends on the CCB bands on where they set up and orographic lifting. Anything is on the table. Nowcasting time.

Nam showing up sloping high snows in the Catskills. Nice.

Orographic lifting to the extreme
