Good list.
The two of the heaviest snowfall rates that I've seen were not in big snowstorms.  I'll look up the dates.  Curious if others witnessed them.

@Amped

Here is one for you.

March 7, 2018 
My notes:
Schools closed.
Heaviest snowfall rate ever witnessed, from noon to 1 pm. 5.5" total.

[The schools in Perth Amboy were closed based on the forecast.  It had looked like a bust, with only light snowfall in the morning.  Then, came down at a rate of around 4 inches per hour for about an hour.)

That one banded through north central Jersey. Almost a repeat of December 2000 with warmer temps.

So, I live just south of the "6-8"" under Newark.  Boy did it come down that hour!

March 6-7, 2018 smoked me here, as did December 30, 2000; I just don’t recall if they hit CPK.

I would consider both NNJ deathbands that gave NYC some decent snow but not a jackpot like the others.

They also didn't get huge amounts of snow in April 2003 or November 2012 due to the surface being warm, but radar showed a deathband stalled over the city for 4-5 hrs both times with a couple SN+ obs.

2/12/2006, on your list. @Amped

8 am that Sunday morning. Showing 35 to 40 dBZ echoes over my local area. 
The greatest snowfall rate during a major storm that I can recall.

2-4 inches bands per hour. Insane bands

Here's the March 7-8, 2018 event maps, with the radar for the duration of the storm. Look at the deep, orange-toned echoes over parts of NJ at noon.
