hudsonvalley21 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 <br /><br /><br /> I haven't measured in several hours. I went outside to snow blow the driveway a few hours ago and I had maybe 10 inches or so. However the last few hours the visibility has come up most of the time so the snow looks very light. Maybe we have 11 or 12 inches now I seen the storm reports from Upton. Orange county has the jackpot on the east ans southeast sections. I would have thought you might have been a bit higher since we are in the same deform zone that ran along the hudson river into costal nj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'd estimate about 20-22" here in Colts Neck. I had 17" two hours ago and we've been snowing at 2-3"/hr rates, moreso than you in Marlboro. SE of me, someone I know is reporting 2 feet in Neptune. We're definitely going to be rivaling, possibly surpassing PD II totals here (which was 24"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornadojay Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just looked outside again. It's practically all blowing snow for me now. Seems to be winding down to light snow borderline flurries at this point. At least by me. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefflaw77 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 that band in Central Suffolk better not miss us Yea, it appears as though the band is back building - it will probably settle somewhere between Eastern Nassau and Central Suffolk - perhaps it stalls for a few... This is probably in response to the storm bombing to the SE of LI.. As this happens the Super band in NJ will begin to die.. But it will still snow out there for probably a long time... just not 3" an hour.. more 1/2"-1" and hour.. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottB Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Pouring snow in Edison. Nice band N/S setup on top of us. Can definitely confirm this. Pouring here still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We're definitely going to be rivaling, possibly surpassing PD II totals here (which was 24"). What were your totals last winter? Im on par with Dec 2000. For me this isnt surpassing '96 or 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabehippie Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I stuck my arm out my back door and front door for a min to get pics (my front door opens just enough at this point to get my arm out), and my was freezing from just a moment or two outside. It is quite frigid outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjr231 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Not as strong as an hour ago but still coming down hard here. That band is just snowing itself out over me. Insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I believe it too looking at those radar images. I'm on the NW border in the Morganville section of Marlboro near Monroe/Manalapan/Old Bridge, so I may have been on the very edge of those extremely heavier bands. Even still, this is one h*ll of a storm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last winter my largest event was the Dec 19th-20th storm, with a little over 22". The other three events in February were 15", 16" and 13" respectively. So right now I'm getting ready to surpass last year's monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 wow....band pivoting back SW .... center of pivoting seems to be right over Belmar, NJ. Holy!!! anyone around there measure? theres gotta be 26-28" spots, we're at 22" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 This might be another scenario like 2/25 last year where the banding repivoted to become NW-SE oriented and there was a period when extremely heavy snow commenced over Nassau and Suffolk counties, even though the low was occluded and stacked. The heavy banding over Suffolk looks like it's expanding and headed W, just like that event did. Probably half a foot of snow here at least in 2 hours that early AM. One thing's for sure, interior SNE looks to get really jipped. The RUC definitely shows the snow redeveloping and pivoting over LI for many more hours.

ARyan Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yeah, we're gonna get hit pretty hard overnight, IMO. Have you measured recently, btw? I hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. Wherever the best forcing sets up, it stays there and doesn't move and usually fizzles out. I'd like to get some deform action before I go to bed but that probably isn't going to happen. I just went outside and measured a lot of drifts over a foot (don't have a yard stick) but I'd say it's around 11" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeRain Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Keith is right.. Unless that insane band to our west gives me a foot of more snow in the next 10 hours - what I will remember about this storm will be the incredible winds at my location.. I have 12.5" here in NE Nassau.

LI Xpress Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I've got 23" here in bellport ny! Drifting insane, bare ground in places, chest high drifts in others. Went out to take some video as I saw I was into some yellow on the enhanced 2 loop on radar scope for iPad. Got knocked on my ass as a gust came thru. Large trees swaying. It has sounded like a freight train since 8pm. Anybody else obs from suffolk? Dirty Jerz may take the cake for total official accumulation, but ain't knobody holding a candle to Suffolk cnty for this HECS when it's comes to the wind enhanced aspect to is event.. Yaaah this is without a shadow of a doubt a HISTORIC EAST COAST CYCLONE! Big ups to my alumni weenies up at Amherst College! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitmaster Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hey all- long time peruser of the old Eastern weather board and found my way over here recently. I really enjoy all the info and forecasting that goes on here, great stuff! I live up in Monroe, NY- in Orange County. I'm on the outside of town about 5 miles outside Greenwood Lake. I can tell you that we have been getting crushed pretty well for hours now. Just spent the last couple of hours out there ripping around on my ATV and doing some plowing. Hard to say with all the blowing and drifting but I would have to estimate we are close to 18 inches. I heard a report earlier that Harriman had checked in at 14 inches but that was a good 3 hours or so ago. This area always seems to do well with these coastal storms- optimal spot about 50 miles inland where the temps are always cold enough to not worry about mixing, yet not too far to miss out on them. Anyway, hope you all enjoy and I recommend taking a step outside for a moment or two to take it all in- it's awesome to be outside at night with a raging blizzard going on. You never know when it will happen again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all- be safe and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
