Finished with 8" here...there is still some banding back in central PA that may brush the NYC area later, but for all intents and purposes the main event has come to a close in this area.

Photo of a garbage can measurement, uncleared throughout the storm, about 30 minutes ago:

Juhring Estate Nature Preserve:

SW CT had about 7" as well, with some 7.5" totals in NNJ. Nice firehose of precipitation came through the I-80 corridor in Central PA.

congrats :snowman:

how much in the city?

Yeah it was taken 30-40 minutes before the storm ended....we picked up a bit more so I went with 8" for the total. The garbage can had not been cleared at all during the event despite that our first flakes were probably around 10:30pm and it didn't end till 8am.

Do folks who don't clear the measuring surface add in snowfall to compensate for settling? That sounds like a fishy way to do things.

Just took my final measurements on our snow boards:

3,000ft...2" NEW...48" DEPTH

1,500ft...1" NEW...24" DEPTH

Had 1" down at 800ft in town.... we round to the nearest inch on the snow boards, but actual amounts were 1.4" at 1,500ft, and 1.9" at 3,000ft.

We lost around 12" of snow depth at 3,000ft and 8" at 1,500ft from the thaw... there was some melting, but I bet the majority of the loss was just settling and compaction of the snow. The last 6 weeks worth of snowfall had just piled up and piled up and never got a chance to truly settle. Now we've got a rock hard natural snow glacier of 2-4 feet between 1,500-3,000ft... with the stake at 3,700ft at 62" so still over 5 feet on the ground up high.

We are now at 230" on the season on the upper mountain (measurements starting November 1st)... 264" if you count the 34" from October that was recorded at the Mansfield co-op.

Hey Ray...I'm about halfway home for your by. You better hope the Euro is right (probably is) for late week and not the GFS. Still a front ender even with heavy rain on the back could get me there and then there's Sunday/Monday. I'm pulling hard for Wilmington,MA to jackpot between now and midnight 2/28.

2.5" and perfect dendrites still falling...glad I stuck to my guns; whiff camp ftl.

22.8\18.....sun angle apparent, though.....as we have melting on the roads.

It was a nice fronto band. You may have more than Kevin. These things are fickle. I went with 2" at BOS so hope it's right. I'm sure because of the fluff, I'll have a coating left when I get back..lol.

I may make my 3"-6" range that looked like a joke....Dryslot said that I wasn't right for not conceding....him ftl.

Just don't underestimate the outer extent of frontogenesis....when in doubt, go high.

3.7 here at the homestead

measured 4.2 at a property in Norwalk

measured 4.4 at my grandmothers in Noroton Heights

measured 6.4 at a property in Greenwich which was certainly the jackpot in Fairfield cty.

Nice gradient over a 25 mile area, I still think we get brushed tonight with rd 2 on the south coast. Radar looks decent out to the west!
