Great read! Thanks! Once in a lifetime event that was. Especially in terms of the large area affected. Not to mention max wind speeds, sfc pressure, snow totals and gulf storm surge. Rouge event not to be repeated anytime soon on that large a scale. Not to say regional storms across the MA/NE won't pack a punch at times just not to the scale of 93.

https://x.com/i/status/2032158839710117932 To our south where it was in the m/u 80's in spots.

Had a burst of moderate snow for about 10-15 minutes. Per radar heaviest is over as back edge moving east. Back edge currently along the Delaware River crossing in western NJ counties.

32.4 degrees

It was moving along but the track as it was dry slotted most spots from eastern NJ on eastward. Scranton area had 35-40" of snowfall. Even NW NJ got 20-25" in spots. Those deformation bands were killer on areas that they affected to the west of the storm track. Shift the track from where it was to over eastern LI and I'm confident local spots in this sub forum would have had 30"+ with monstrous drifts. Some 40" amounts would have been possible from NW NJ into western CT. We'll obviously never know but the upside would have been huge with a track 20-40 miles to the east. The upper level pattern was loaded for bear.

36.5 here and have had periods of off and on light snow for last 90 minutes. Enough to "slush" the deck and slightly whiten some rooftops.

If that 93 storm evolution had just been a little further eastward, by like 20-40 miles the storm effects and snow totals for this sub forum would have rivaled 1888.

Nice to read the 1993 storm summary! That was one of the great ones. Still have the NGM DIFAX maps framed and on my office wall. Nice triple phaser!

Picked up .97" rainfall overnight. Vivid lightning and low rumbles of thunder with storms before mid-night. Still raining at 9am with a much colder temperature of 40 along with a gusty wind.

Check out the m/u 80's into northern VA and even into Delaware. Chilly eastern New England and LI and coastal NJ beaches.

So sorry. Heartbreaking. Hope each day gets a little better for you. Good memories last forever.

Max temps across NJ today: (click images to enlarge)

Local 80+ readings interior south and central NJ.

Sampling of some high temperatures across NJ today. Was a stellar day. Reached 70 here today. Can't beat it with a stick. Even the plowed mounds are fading fast in my neighborhood. Expect most to be gone by weeks end. Mall parking lots might take a little longer.

I'll definitely take the over on +.8.

Rainfall last two days 1.66". Total since March 1 = 2.19". Good riddance to the road salt and dare I say good riddance to the snow cover as well. Down to about 1/2" here with 25% coverage. Plowed mounds are another story and it will likely take another week plus to get rid of the mounds on my street. Even longer for parking lot mounds which are still impressive. Looking forward to the coming warmth next week.

Mostly sunny and 49 here with melt ongoing. Can now see grass across east facing backyard for the first time in better than 2 months. Plowed mounds slow to go but actual snow cover is down to not more than 50% coverage with an average depth of 2" and dwindling.

EURO AIFS has a pretty cold look roughly 3/16 - 3/22 with 850's 15-22 BN Ohio Valley to MA/NE. After the coming warmth this will feel particularly unwelcome. Cold the second half of March is unlikely to undo the warmth of the first half so not expecting March to finish below normal. As for snowfall, the chances are low but not zero. As others have said not a KU looking pattern but some accumulating snow especially interior not out of the question second half of the month but who really wants it at that point anyway.

My blizzard snows (12.5") from a week ago are essentially gone, except for drifted areas and plowed mounds. I'm now back to working on what was left from the January glacier. That stuff is still a crusty, crunchy mess of snow and ice. Before the blizzard a week ago there was about 3" or so of that left and that is pretty much where I am at now, 3" with about 70% coverage.

Including what fell this morning (.10") I'm at 49.9" for the season.

Some snow depth from around the region as of this morning.

Picked up .02" melted and .10" new snow this morning. Has melted already. Stuck to everything except the street which still has salt residue. Average snow depth this morning with about 70% coverage is 3". Most of that measured in north facing / shadier locations. Southern facing lawns and slopes bare ground to about 1".

EWR snowfall nearly double mine

February Precipitation stats at my location: Melted: 1.96". Y.T.D. Melted: 4.72". February snowfall: 15". Snowfall Season to date: 49.8". AVERAGE snow depth this morning with 90-95% coverage: 3.5". South facing lawns and slopes bare ground to 1.5". Shaded / north facing locations: 4-5". Was driving around southern Union and Morris Counties yesterday (Chatham, Summit and New Providence) and snow melt pretty dramatic there. They had 15-20" in spots and there is quite a bit of bare ground. Eyeballing looked like 3-4" in areas with most remaining depth. By this coming Monday, 1 week after the storm 15-20" of snow will have been wiped out.
