Sorry man.  We were trying something new.  But I gave up. 

No worries, all is good.

the multi attempts has nothing to do with it, as usual, even after the original was posted, this thread got about two pages of obs posts, and will for the rest of the night, whether or not there is an obs thread. just like every storm.  there is no point having two threads.  if you are in the strange minority of being super interested in a storm but not wanting to read real time discussion about it while getting obs, and only want obs posts... tough. the rest of us dont want to flip between tabs 

Did u actually read my comment??? Geez. WTF

[EasternLI]

This thing is ramping up quickly here. This is getting borderline heavy snow already. 32F. Starting to accumulate everywhere now. With the bulk of this many hours away lol

Switch to decaf my dude.

If the winds meet expectations I bet we will have lots of trees down in places like Riverside Park where the ground is a swamp and the snow has been sticking to the trees for hours (but not the ground).

Wait - was that a forecast and not an observation? Should I have put that in the other thread? 

[NJwx85]

Still light white rain here. Bands are crawling North.

[RU848789]

Folks - don't forget to go outside and enjoy this gift, as it's simply gorgeous out there now and about to go nuclear. If you need an excuse to get outside, do a measurement every hour and report back. Also, if you end up with several inches less than the NWS and others are predicting, don't whine - remember back to 3-4 days ago when we were worried about a whiff

[BxEngine]

Obs in obs thread. Please.

I stop caring what the ceiling might have been once there is heavy snow flying and I'm outside in it. A good jebwalk cures everything.

Winds picking up, snow still moderate, and only sticking to grassy surfaces. Once the storm starts to deepen should be a good time as it intensifies.

I'm on a main road and it's starting to whiten up too...

The literal border of Somerset and Hunterdon Counties...

County Line Road

[mtksurfer]

Winds increasing, snow still somewhat moderate. Looking forward to the main show late tonight. Temps down to 30f. 

[Brian5671]

snow sticking to roofs and grass road still wet 32

[Metasequoia]

Starting to stick to sidewalks in southern Manhattan. Trees look gorgeous.

 

Edit - sticking to roads now.

@SACRUS was Jan 26–27, 2011 (– 19.0") the storm that shut down parts of Monmouth/Ocean County with totals around 30 inches?

[My notes show 17.75 inches, here in Perth Amboy.]

@weatherpruf @RU848789 Do you guys remember it? My sister lived in Bradley Beach and could not get out of her property for days.

Yep, 2-parter...here's a short excerpt of my write-up on it (I have a way longer version, lol). 

Wow, what a freakin' snowstorm.  Ended around 3 am here and our final tally was 5.5" for part 1 and 12.0" for part 2, for a grand total of 17.5" for the event.  Puts it in the top 10 for the last 50 years in this area.  Sounds like there was a general overall 12-20" in the Philly to NYC region, which is quite an overperformance vs. the forecast. 

[Rjay]

Lol

[samdman95]

Snow and wind picking up in Chelsea, starting to accumulate on untreated pavement. Visibility down to about half of a mile as well

[kat5hurricane]

Oh man, lets see how this goes with the two different threads lol

Anyway, it's really starting to pick up here. Starting to get a little of that blizzard look
