That power could go out and then actually be restored during this, whatever the reason, seems impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Islip: 20.0". That now ranks as Islip's 8th biggest snowstorm on record. Islip's figure will climb higher in the rankings. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bxstormwatcher360 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The low is crawling rn, and moisture still slowly pushing west. Whatever bands go west come back east. Heavy Snow continues . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Star Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 16" so far here in Garwood NJ. Admittingly, I just saw as near "Whiteout" conditions as I guess I will ever see when a gust came through and blew snow off the rooftops and trees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 2 hours ago, RU848789 said: As of 3:00 am, we have 12.5" in Metuchen, so 1.7" the last 2 hours and that 12.5" is a guess. the area my board was in has drifted over, so I can't use that. In the past when this happens I try to take a bunch of measurements and average them, away from obvious drifts and scoured out areas, but it's tough. In the morning before the snow is over I'll take a ride (or walk, it's close) over to a local field and check there. Down to 29F. Also did my 3rd shovel of the storm - I do that every time we get to about 4" as that's a good number for me to shovel without crazy effort. As of 5:00 am, when I started shoveling we had 14.5" and at 6:00 am when I was done shoveling we we have 16.3" in Metuchen, so 1.8" the past hour in the heaviest snow of the storm, pic with well less than 1/4 mile visibility is below; these numbers are kind of guesses with all the drifting. Just couldn't stay in the deathband long enough - have had great, consistent 1"+ per hour rates all night, but haven't cracked 2" per hr yet. Not complaining, as I'm ecstatic about 16.2" and very likely making it to 20" (20.2" was my guess), but it would've been cool to see insane rates for an hour. Down to 29F and while not official, we've had a few gusts to 35 mph, but certainly not "frequent" so not quite a blizzard yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrummWx Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just woke up to take a leak and peak outside. Hard to tell from the 7th floor how many inches but Manhattan is pretty well covered. I'll prob go for a walk at 0900 or so 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rwes1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Still just ripping here. Whiteout. This is unbelievable! Definitely one for the ages. Going to be a big chore to get this cleaned up later-even with the snowblower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rygar Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 just missed out on the good stuff. not boxing day bad, still a good storm, but nothing prolific.

dWave Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 41 minutes ago, ColdRainLover said: Banding seems to be setting up with a bit of a subsidence screw zone from Stamford on down through western Nassau. Hard to tell how much snow is coming down with these winds though. Near the Sound shore it seem to be some long periods of very light snow, lots of blowing snow though.

psv88 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Congrats everyone. Looks like a nice hit back home. Nasty subsidence is headed for western Long Island now, so maybe another 2-3” and that’s it. Islip clears 2 feet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
