Central Morris County: 2.75" OTG. 30.5F. 1.25" in the past hour. I just went for a long snow walk. It's a glorious evening and blissfully quiet. Most people are inside their cozy homes avoiding the snow. They don't know what they're missing.

I've intentionally avoided looking at models for the past day to try to enjoy this snow event as it comes. It's definitely not snowing gangbusters at the moment and so far the event isn't giving off the characteristic feel of an historical event. Hopefully that changes later tonight. Even this solid but unspectacular rate should be good enough to achieve double digits. I'm hoping the good banding doesn't shift too far east.

I have always enjoyed a peaceful, late-night walk through the neighborhood on a night like this, too. So serene.

Just about 3 in belle mead, only 2.5 inches on pavement..been rather meh but intensity starting to pick up a bit

 

I think some of us have been in some of the subsidence for a bit and that line from my area with about 3 although its snowing moderately now 

it seems like everytime a band tries to approach my area it disspates and hits a brickwall only to see another grow to south and do the same thing

the heavy bands are supposed to pivot up through ny and down through pa and central jersey as the low deepens and sits and spins

Struggling to keep anything more than thst up here in Waretown and Forked River, as well.   We will hopefully see a long duration high dbz band pivot near (or over us) overnight, but Im simply not seeing enough observational temp crash to help us catch up to projected totals.   

For me, snow totals mean far less than the overall coastal impacts... but I like to call things as I see them.  I would consider double digits a win, at this juncture.   Hope we both get to experience some true blizzard conditions, regardless of overall snowfall accumulation.  

i've been there....getting bupkiss when the forecasts tell me i'm not....march 2018 was brutal for several storms....people here would think i'm lying....but my thought was always that this time of year might be a struggle down there. toms river and howell seem to be doing ok.

You and your son will have such great stories about this to go over when he gets older, and his kids too. Enjoy every second!

I will show him the snow through the window when he wakes up.

I might reach double digits after this band moves through (at 6 now)

Kuchera has 15 for NYC and near 30 for eastern LI.

The people don't understand it doesn't include what has fallen. Plus HRRR is 20 more for nyc. The trends have been amazing for the last 10 hours on the mesoscale models.

I dont think the models show the heavy banding this evening. Everything was supposed to get going overnight. 

That was also on top of everythin till 7pm, or from 7pm onwards.  Classic!

You should be under that crazy band now, how is it? I'm next in line.

Measured in a few spots and I think I'm at 6, give or take 0.5".  Beautiful out.  So bright, snow sticking to everything.  Not sure if my memory is accurate on this, but I feel like as few and far between the storms of the 80s were, they mostly looked like this.

As the kids would say, this is great "packing" snow.  You could make a full fort in 5 minutes out there right now.

I'm nearly at Upton's 6-23" range lol.


Edit:  USA Hockey gold this morning, 6" OTG, lots more to come.  Give me an Old Milwaukee, because it just duddunt get any better than this.

***Multiple Bands of Heavy Snow to Impact the Area Tonight***

Bands of heavy snow will move across the area through the night
as low pressure rapidly intensifies to the south. Reports have
indicated 2 to 3 inches per hour rates in some of the heavier
bands. Localized higher amounts cannot be ruled out. In between
bands, snowfall rates may drop off to about an inch per hour.

In addition, winds will become a factor as the night progresses.
Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous
and potentially life-threatening.

***Band of Heavy Snow Moving into the Area***

A heavy band of snow along the Connecticut coast into western
Long Island will continue to lift to the northwest with possible
snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches an hour impacting the area.

Periodic bands of heavy snow will move across the area through
the night as low pressure rapidly intensifies to the south. In
between bands, snowfall rates may drop off to about an inch per
hour.

In addition, winds will become a factor as the night progresses.
Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous
and potentially life-threatening.

This area has had nonstop yellows and some reds appearing all evening.  Is it something with the radar or is it just dumping in that particular area?

A little bit of both. KDIX is right there and it tends to inflate returns given the angle of the radar. That said, that area has been getting crushed. Some reports of over 10" coming out near Howell and Colts Neck.
