11.6” on the season!

As snow ends now, we had around 0.7" earlier, and around 1.7" tonight. So that's a total of 2.4". 

With the 1.1" yesterday, that's 3.5" for the weekend. I wasn't expecting anything yesterday so I guess that makes up for today's bust. 

Around 13.5" for the season (1 inch shy of last winter's final total.) 

[RU848789]

Calling it over at 8:45 pm, as the snow became light around 8:20 pm and looks like it'll be just flurries from here on with precip ending shortly, unless there's a surprise. Anyway, we got 2.4" of new snow for a total of 4.1" today and 5.8" over two days, which I'm ecstatic about. Another very pretty snow as it wasn't windy and the snow was wet enough to stick to the trees. Going to finish watching the football game and then go shovel.

Yea this evenings batch sucked big time. Maybe we squeeze another 1/2”

[sussexcountyobs]

1.5 Jersey City heights. Didn’t have time to measure this morning but around 1. So roughly 3.7 over the weekend. 

I’m an idiot. 1.7 yesterday. So 4.2 total for the weekend. Not bad. 
2.5 as of 9:00.

And that’s a nope. Overcooked on radar and flew east. 

[lee59]

Yea radar looked worse here than what was also. Although colder air is moving in so the flakes are bigger so maybe get a little more accumulation.

[JerseyWx]

2.8" today, which makes it 5.8" this weekend.

[WeatherGeek2025]

anybody has the totals for both days?

[Rjay]

Probably 1-1.75" combined around here today.  Hard to tell bc it keeps melting.

 

[EastonSN+]

2.1 yesterday 

2.0 this morning 

1.8 tonight

Nice

[psv88]

Still coming down lightly. Temp finally goes below 32 as the snow ends. 31.7.

going to be very icy out there now. All the slushy snow on the roads will freeze solid. Terrible night to be on the roads. 
 

1” this morning, 1.5” this evening. 2.5” for the day, 3.0” for the weekend. 18” on the year. More than the last 3 years? 

[lee59]

1 and 1/4 inch tonight, 3/4 this morning for 2 on the day. Temperature down to 31.

[Krs4Lfe]

So which model did best with this. Euro, ICON, UKMET had nothing until 2 days ago. 
 

It was just GFS and the GFs-AI and Euro-AI that had something for most of the week, but proved to be too bullish. 

[snywx]

2.8" final for today

7.5" total for the weekend

31.1" ytd

[Nibor]

[Bxstormwatcher360]

4.4 totals for all events here. Probably closer to 5 but ill take it. A few snow showers are still possible later.

[weathermedic]

Got a total of 1 inch here in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn today. Had .8 yesterday and .26 of rain today 

[Blizzardo]

I'm just curious... When y'all measure your snow.... How do you differentiate between .8" and .75 or just 1.0 for that matter? What are we using to measure snowflakes with such precision? 

[MJO812]

About 1.3 today. Up to 11 for the season.

Just round to the nearest tenth.  I always measure the exact amount, and then convert (i.e. 2.75 is 2.8 or 3.25 is 3.3)
