Need that band to pass over me or 5-6 inches is all she wrote. But we expected wide variations like this. Granted I tend to be in the lower zones most of the time. Storms have really gotta blanket most of NJ to land IMBY LOL

8.5" total here as of 2PM.  We've basically accumulated nothing with light to very light snow falling since noon.  The wind is another story...lots of blowing snow.

Basically we got caught in a dry slot between bands.  Also, the snow on the ground is rather dense; i.e., the wind is really packing it together.

We did catch the 3"/hour band earlier and it looks to be ready to head back over us this afternoon, but it will have to stick around a while to undo the couple of hours + that we have lost.

A lot of the best snow growth hasn't happened until the past few hours. Winds have slightly backed off since this morning out here too, when snow was getting eroded in a lot of spots with huge drifts.

12Z NAM banding maps and latest RAP soundings show potential for 1"/hr rates in that 2nd band between now and 5PM.

Chill out, there are odd snow totals even in events that don't have 60mph winds.   This is not surprising at all, and there is no conspiracy to under-measure the snow.

Yeah, because the airport and knyc totals havent had issues in the past. Good point.

I don’t believe none of those totals at the park or the airports. Should be minimum 9”

NYC I think is off a bit.  There were 2 hours where the LE at NYC seemed low.  One hour they reported only 0.04 and another was low.  I'm guessing they maybe were .75-.76 at 18Z vs the .64 they reproted.  So maybe they had 9 so off by about 1 inch.  JFK seemed off by way more than that though.

Ehhhhhh I don't think anybody is alleging a "conspiracy" here!  Been a problem for quite a long time now and is probably attributable to garden variety incompetence and indifference....

Central Park 7.8 inches as of 1 PM update.

10 looking very possible. I'm not down there but it sounds like a fair measurement, maybe a tad low from the radar I've observed all day but close I suppose.

Anyone near there that can chime in?

5.2 at LGA at the same time, now that can't be right. If one gets it right the other F's it up. I realize it's windy but accurate measurements should not be this hard.

..snow has decreased dramatically out here.

light snow/blowing snow..27.8*

wonder if that band over nassau county survives as it heads east??..yes, east, as 

the pivot commences..

what do you think Eastern L .I .??

 

RAP suggests another band setting up for a finale out here. Shouldn't be as strong as what's going on west of us now though, but we'll see I guess. How much do you think you have over there?

No you're right it's not surprising at all, because it happens all the time, even in snows with calm winds.
