There was still another hour or two to go at that point, so maybe the final amount will be more like 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted December 15, 2025 Share Posted December 15, 2025 Snowpile, December 2025 edition! I'm thinking this (6.2") might be the most snow here in a single event since March of 2018.

There's enough mass in there (due to the driveway side being wet) that I think I have a chance to have at least a partial pile for Christmas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how this map gets made but it seems pretty wrong based on the public information sheet mt holly released. Lower bucks/mercer/burlingon/monmouth counties all had reports of 6”+ as well.

RU848789 Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Posted this on the NYC subforum and a NWS met said they took the Metuchen 8.7" measurement out, but I see it's still in the NWS-Philly's map, so figured I'd post it here. Speaking of inflated measurements, someone else in Metuchen reported 8.7" vs. my report of 6.7". There's simply no way that's right, as it's an outlier vs. all other county reports (especially when, generally, more snow fell in southern Middlesex than northern) and it's a huge outlier vs. the nearby Edison reports (6.6" and 5.6") and my report of 6.7". Even when I measured on grass, the most I saw was about 7.4" so I can't imagine how someone got 8.7" - and Metuchen is only 1 square mile, so it's not like there is some gradient across town. ...Middlesex County...

Just remember though, reports in PNSs and LSRs are all considered preliminary (not official). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember though, reports in PNSs and LSRs are all considered preliminary (not official). Understood, was just hoping such outliers wouldn't be in the snowfall maps you guys generate. Speaking of the PNS's I get while there are "partial" reports before the end of a storm when the storm is still going on, but I always wondered why the partial reports are usually still in the final PNA 12-24 hours after the event is over. For example, with Sunday's storm, there are partial reports from 6 or 7 am, when the storm wasn't over for the vast majority of people in our area until 9-10 am. Why not take these out? By the way, these are minor nitpicks. As I've posted earlier, thought you guys did a great job with this storm and much better than many other media sources, especially in going with 3-5" amounts along 95 and even up through 78 (and saying the most would likely be between 95 and the coast) when many kept with their 1-3" predictions for those areas.

Usually those old reports are removed from the PNS going forward and especially for the final one (we received something like 500 reports during and immediately following the storm!). There were some issues however with the software we use during the Sunday storm, plus there was a newer Meteorologist gathering the reports and issuing LSRs and PNSs. Also, thanks for the kind words in your second paragraph. We try our best but are certainly not perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
