green tube Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 5.8" .....and counting first time i've ever seen every flake of an entire snowstorm approach from the north/northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 EWR so far has .77" for the day. I think that's closer to the NAM/SREFs than any other models New Brunswick weather station has 0.52" , though I'm not sure if that's all melted http://synoptic.envsci.rutgers.edu/site/ Once again, more NAM-like in North/Central Jersey The EWR readings don't look quite right to me... I'll wait til the CoCoRaHS reports come in tomorrow to judge. Same as far as the Rugters site. Nothing beats manual measurements when it comes to determining ratios.

Allsnow Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 5.8" .....and counting first time i've ever seen every flake of an entire snowstorm approach from the north/northeast. This band is legit. Heavy snow and covered roads on a march day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green tube Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Heavy snow and covered roads on a march day remember april 7, 2003? i measured 7" in the middle of the road at 3pm. the persistence of this storm today is seriously impressive. too bad it wasnt colder.... not complaining tho.

Yeah that was very impressive also. I'm around 7 now. Approaching what I got in the February storm. This last band is adding to the total. What a great bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Amazing that the "kicker" wave that caused round 1 to go south is the same feature to pull round 2 even more west than modeled. It is a very rare thing for this to work out like today and usually 1 pushes out the other and that's the end of it. It is a testament to the kind of blocking we are dealing with here.

BucksCO_PA Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We're now officially melting faster than we're accumulating. 3.4" at 12:20 pm, which is down from 3.8" an hour ago. Therefore, I'll submit 3.8" as the storm total for Bensalem. Hit 35.3, but now back down to 34.6. Where are you at in Bensalem? Probably use your final since I won't be home until 6:00 or so..... 3.8" would put me at 19.7" for the season, going to be tough to give this winter a D grade with that total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great bust it's undoubtedly cleared 6" here.... but under 7. it's like this thing has an e-zpass right down the turnpike. i guess i cant b**ch about this winter anymore.... with three 6+ events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Seems like the same areas that cashed in the beginning of winter in early Nov. are finishing the winter in the same fashion. Conversely those in the screw zone in Nov. like western Chesco do so again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwarlock Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 5.5 inches here but has not accumulated on pavement since about 8:30 am. Light snows melting on contact. Did some plowing and salting and only between 1-2 inches on walks and lots at peak. Roads are wet and fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great storm for middlesex county it was interesting watching all night as subsidence just to our northeast stayed there, while the snow kept regenerating over middlesex county. great luck for us. ....and it just keeps coming down.

JERSEYSNOWROB Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 That band over Monmouth county looks good along the parkway. Kinda wish I was back home to enjoy it. #rayproblems NW Monmouth just missed out on that heavy blob. At least in Marlboro anyway. But that was a serious band that set up there for the rest of Monmouth. About a half hour ago, wife back home said we were still at 4.6 inches since early this morning. Melting on contact I guess now, even on top of snow!! ha ha ha There's one more heavier band just to the north of Monmouth now that may or may not clip us. However my wife is not home to measure anymore anyway so whatever falls will surely melt by the time one of us gets home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clipped Freehold pretty good, Mohawkvally reported over 6" in the middle of it, so I can image 7" tops before it let up and likely compacted by now.

JERSEYSNOWROB Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 btw, still snowing lightly here in Pennington, NJ Mercer County. Just eyeballing it from the office looks like about 4 inches out there. Enough so that they had to plow the parking lots here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I spent over 250 going to VA, trust me I am sick to my stomach that I didn't go to NE. Over snow? Really? You were there for February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably use your final since I won't be home until 6:00 or so..... 3.8" would put me at 19.7" for the season, going to be tough to give this winter a D grade with that total Right by the mall, near Bristol & Neshaminy Blvd. And anyway we're up to 36.6 with a rain/snow mix now, so that's definitely the total.

Absolute Humidity Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The last I heard from home was over 6" in Freehold during their last bright banding, possibly hitting 7". I expected it would be a sloppy coating to an inch, so a 5 - 6+" good bust was nice to experience. Sorry DC for stealing your snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
