OBS and Totals-12/13-14 Snow Event

[wthrmn654]

Thought for sure would be much colder by now

[RU848789]

At 5 am, about 3.0" otg, so another 0.7" the past hour and it's snowing fairly heavily (not crazy heavy but visibility probably 1/4-3/8 mile; temp holding steady at 32F. Radar looks good for another 2", hopefully.

And barely a half inch on grass, I can still see grass through it.  I'm lowering my amounts by a lot of it doesn't improve ...

[Snowlover11]

Not home but I’m eyeballing maybe 2-3” in Nanuet. Same down here in Yonkers although the “Heavier” bands have been more toward Yonkers. 3” on grass, pavement starting to stick finally.

Moderate, almost Heavy Snow at times on Barnegat Bay.  Temperatures are certainly limiting accumulation.  We will see if the colder airmass can push down through the lower layers before the heavier rates are drawn to the East.

Snow is falling here. We'll see what we end up with.

[wthrmn654]

32.7 so it's getting better finally going be mad icy tonight though

[bluewave]

A 3.8” report from Northern Nassau and 2.9” in Plainfield, NJ.

 

[wthrmn654]

Channel 7 saying the storms slowed down now so if that's the case, we all still good. Ending about 1 pm nyc area and 3 or 4 pm eastern areas 

[sussexcountyobs]

Snow continues. 27.0

Took two quick measurements on my driveway. 5.5" so far.

[ForestHillWx]

Heading out shortly to verify but eyeballing 4”; clearly more than I expected. Cheers all.

Looks like NW NJ jackpot due the warm BL temps missed by many

[Northof78]

4.5” OTG and coming down nicely (moderate pace), looks like bonus area was N/W of originally thought. Look to end between 5” - 6”.

Looks beautiful outside with everything pasted in deep white.

So far

Was a clear concern of mine and some others yesterday, when temps ahead of the system overperformed...  

Got more QPF, but cold air held back.

Having said that, all surfaces caved around midnight. Eyeballing 2.25-2.5" now in waretown.   Looks to be piling up now with the heavier rates.   Had the temps been just 3 degrees cooler at onset, I think this would have overperformed for nearly everyone.  

 

Nevertheless, I think ill see 4-4.5 when all is said and done, which is well within the forecast.  Beautiful day.  Enjoy, all.

3.5" SE Toms River along the river. 

[BoulderWX]

4" OTG in Morristown; Heaviest rates of the storm currently; look to have another hour of moderate snow before winding down.

[wthrmn654]

All roads are now snot covered state and side roads half inch to inch on ground. Very slippery. Plowing time

As of 6:00 am we have about 3.6" otg, so 0.6" last hour, and it's still 32F, which is probably why the snow has been a bit wetter than I expected - great packing snow, although not sopping wet, as I just finished my 2nd shoveling of the storm. I think 5" is doable looking at the radar/HRRR model. Here's a pretty pic of the church across the street.

[sussexcountyobs]

Just got out to shovel. Measured 6" on the nose. Still snowing.  27.0

I’m not sure that’s the case. If you look at the radar, this thing is moving pretty fast. Should only be some light snow for a few more hous and then done 

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

A very surprising 4.2 new inches on the ground as of 6:30 am. They never even gave Orange County a WWA, not that I care.

Day 13 of snow cover and counting. 

28.2° light/moderate snow

2 NE Springfield, NJ: 4.5"

[RU848789]

As of 7 am we're up to 4.4" otg and it's still 32F. Saw a report on Channel 7 of 4.8" from Metuchen - sounds a tad high to me, but it's possible. 5-6" looks likely now as I think we'll get another 1-1.5". Stunningly beautiful out there - about to go for a drive, just because.

When I drove through on 17/84 around 10pm the heaviest snow between Monticello and The River was from a bit east of Middletown to about 3 miles from the bridge. That probably put down your first inch or more in a big hurry.
