Just measured, 12 miles directly north of EWR near Clifton, measured 18 inches on pavement and 19-20 on grass. Intersting to me to see EWR so high..hmm Either way, wow, what an incredible storm!

Intersting to me to see EWR so high..hmm Either way, wow, what an incredible storm! They are doing official measurements. Measuring after hours of compaction is not accurate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume EWR is doing a clear and measure technique, but also they were in the band for a little longer than us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intersting to me to see EWR so high..hmm Either way, wow, what an incredible storm! I measured 24” in Hoboken earlier trying to avoid any areas of drift, so I believe it. Theres been a nearly stationary band over the area for many hours..hopefully it was also over CPK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therein lies the problem with these large storms. Exactly what happend in 1996 and Boxing Day. They seem on top of this one though so hopefully the final counts it.

cleetussnow Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 19 minutes ago, Freezing Drizzle said: That is one persistent band over the Five Boroughs! A heavy part of that band is hammering the area around Neptune, NJ now; near the border of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Still in moderate snowfall, here. yeah in that up here too. As heavy as I've seen so far. going to hit 2 feet OTG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooralph Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 For those reflexively crapping on the CPK measurement, I just did another 20 minute walk in Riverside Park and it very much feels like a 17-19" storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
