LocoAko Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wish we still had one forum for Philly-NYC - kills us Jersey folks who have to read/post in multiple threads, plus we "lost" the input of some really good folks who only post in the Philly threads now. Anyway, part 1 certainly underperformed a bit, with me getting 1.25" in Metuchen vs. the 3-5" forecast. On the bright side, however, this snowfall pushes me over 60" for the season to 60.5", which is pretty damn sweet. After ending last year at 59" with no snow in March and then being stuck on ~59" this year for the past month (outside of a couple of 1/4" events), I was starting to worry we somehow wouldn't crack 60". Very nice. Tonight's not looking so good for us this far north, though. Yeah, it is a freaking pain to toggle back and forth all the time. We only got 1.0" here despite the 3-5" forecast, so that's disappointing... we'll see about tonight but I'm not expecting much. Glad to see the event didn't bust elsewhere.

A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Looks great outside, looks close to 3" here. When does the next snowfall update come out? I thought it would be coming out at 10-- but if theyre doing it every six hours, then it would be 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternLI Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 31 here still light snow, it's been lightly snowing here all day. If anything intensity picked up slightly in last hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 31 here still light snow, it's been lightly snowing here all day. If anything intensity picked up slightly in last hour Is the radar picking it up? I bet youre getting that snow via onshore flow. I wonder if you ever get ocean effect snow out that way like Cape Cod does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmc10 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just thought I would add this, I am down in Delaware at school, but back home my father measured on avg 6.5-7 inches of snow. Franklin Lakes, NJ extreme NW Bergen County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternLI Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Is the radar picking it up? I bet youre getting that snow via onshore flow. I wonder if you ever get ocean effect snow out that way like Cape Cod does? Radar wasn't really picking it up, since then it's slowed down considerably. Still a few flakes flying, but it's the closest its been to stopping all day. Ocean effect is very rare on LI, since that would mean a E or SE flow would be happening and usually it warms us up too quickly. Sound effect does happen from time to time though, but that's pretty rare too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.I.Pete Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 4.7" of pretty fluffy snow here in Port Jeff Station. Nice that everything's whitened up again after a couple of weeks of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 what happened between 7am and 9am when another 0.09" precip fell.? It sounds like 2/10/10 when they stuck with 10.0 even though we had two more hours of moderate snow that night. Big discrepancy with EWR in that storm.

I mentioned to earthlight last night that I didn't like how radar looked, with that dry slot pushing north. I feared a bust, and we never got back into the snow once the dry slot hit. We were just a hair too far south here in Middlesex county. 1 inch here as well. Too bad the 3 to 5 forecast busted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big discrepancy with EWR in that storm. There was a massive difference in February 10, 2010 as Westfield NJ got 17.5" (I think John got 19.5" from that one) and yet NYC got 10"?

NYC should have had 40" that month and that storm was where they fell short. Of course if 2/6/10 had hit, we'd have had 1995-96 snowfall totals in just one month lol.

viking70 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 5.25 inches here. However, I just measured a half hour ago. Not sure if it has compacted already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I measured 7.2" here in far eastern Morris County, right on the border of Upton/Mt. Holly CWA's. Looks like the heaviest band extended from northern Passaic County eastward into northern Bergan and then into CT. Busted high on my forecast for 3-5".
