Yeah it’s pounding and probably accumulating at over 1/hour.   This event duration is a big plus.

NESIS 4?

18 states with a foot or more plus ice

If they factor in non Northeastern states it may border 5. Estimated damages were in the 100 billion range, over 1 million without power.

How much new in the last 90 min? That band has been intense. Just getting into the meat of it here and it was already stacking up with fatties falling. 

Ended up with 2.5” new. I was outside for the vast majority of it as it kept ripping for several hours.

Easily the best part of the storm and 19° felt downright warm.

[Fozz]

My area ended up with a bit less snow than other surrounding areas. After the squall, the new depth was around 15.5”, which probably would’ve been 18-19” before compaction.

Definitely a few inches less than ORH proper but as I said before the storm, I would’ve been thrilled with 12”.

Pure champagne powder today. It just has a different feel and sound to it when you pick up a shovel full and toss it.

Didn'tyou have that yesterday? Or was it more like sand?

Hope I can squeeze out another .25 lol

[rimetree]

Basically non-stop snow since yesterday around 9AM when first flakes showed up. There was definitely some drifting that was messing up measuring last night, but thinking we're about 24" based on local spotter reports in the area. Will do another measure later as still some light stuff coming down. Quite the storm. 15/13

Slam band 

[NW_of_GYX]
