I guess its perspective, but the NMM sucked for those on the NW side LV, Reading area, only supposed to get an 1" or less, I think the whole axis on the NMM was off by a good 50-70 miles, But obviously did much better than its brother the ARW

Oh that's true. I was only talking about myself :lol:

How'd you do up there anyway? More than an inch?

Earlier post: 2" in the last 75 minutes, as of 11:15 pm. Wow. Pouring snow with maybe 1/8 mile visibility right now. 5.5" from Part 1 and now 4.5" from Part 2 for 10.0" total. Up to 50" for the season! Radar is insane over my part of Middlesex County right now, with 35-40 DBZ echos, so I'm hoping for another 4" or more before it's over. I love snow.

New post: double wow - as of 12:15 am, one hour later, we now have 7.5" of new snow, meaning we got 3.0" in the last hour. I think that's the most I've ever recorded, although I wasn't recording snowfall rates for the Jan 1996 storm or anything before that. I guess the radar really doesn't lie, lol - those yellows were over us for most of the last hour and I got to walk around in it for awhile. Just a deluge of snow like I've never seen before - definitely a little heavier than I recall for 12/26/10, although not as windy, so visibility was still a little better tonight, as visibility is about 200 yards right now, whereas it went down to 50 yards or less at times due to the heavy snowfall plus the wind for the 12/26 storm. Looks like only another 1-2 hours of accumulating snow. At 13.0" total right now - would love to get to 16".

Exactly almost a foot here in Allentown on the day...which is well over what was forecasted and we started off with a forecast between 3-6 inches...I been talking 6-12 in this area for at least the past 48 hrs and told people that the GFS/NAM/ etc were not handling the system the best...in the end the only model that showed the correct track at one point and time was the Nogaps ...and then the ECM followed by the GGEM...

When the nogaps is west & wound up and the rest of the models are east..its coming west ! scooter.gif

KUDOS to you Atown for your steaddfast conclusion that this storm was coming west days ago, way before the other global models even had a clue. and no one was listening. way to go!

NOGAPS rocks!

Wow, this snow has been epic. I got to talk a walk outside while the deformation band was sitting over us (35 dbz's!!) and it was insane. The winds were whipping and the snow was coming down as hard as I've ever seen it come down before. I took a videos as well.

I measured about 11 inches here about 20 minutes ago; heavy snow continues.

Hard to believe! Still snowing. Measured 15" of new snow here in Hillsborough, NJ. 10" from Phase 2. Would like someone in my area to verify total.

I was saying go west for days. Even did a map in the map thread. Plus I have been saying this west trend in the other threads and getting beat up pretty bad to the point where the mods were deleting my posts when I mentioned JB was looking at maybe up to 18 inches for us. As I said in one of my posts- A memphis low = a big snow for us. I will stand behind this every time.thumbsupsmileyanim.gifthumbsupsmileyanim.gif

9.5 inches as of about 10 minutes ago here in Marlboro, NJ Monmouth County. (all from the 2nd round) Just wanted to mention that when the initial slug of heavy precip made it up here this evening, I heard/saw thunder and lightning and the skies just opened up and was pouring heavy sleet. It almost looked like hail the size of grapes!! Amazing!

Except the company he works for did not have anything near those amounts forecast. But, good call on his part.

very true. and why it's always good to have the disclaimer that the thoghts and ideas of said foecaster are not always the thoughts of said business, LOL.
