weatherMA Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sparta, NWNJ 7:00 AM: 6.0" Elevation: 900' Wow nice! You should make a foot between that and later today easily I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Someone lost their job last event, did anyone threaten to quit this time if someone saw 6 inches? I believe earthlight and noreaster had a bet about 7-14......how much that guy ended up with idk.....reports seem like 5-6 out that way......we still have tonight also, so idk how the bet was worded. Also isotherms has a bet with zuckie that he will not see more then 3.5. I have 2.0 on the nose here....looks like the accumlating snow is over for now....light snow contiues.

NJwinter23 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Reports of 8-10 Inches in towns like far Rockaway, Lake Hopatcong. Can anybody confirm these totals? Preferably with a ruler lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornadojay Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 light to moderate snow here in southern Rockland county.. only stickng a bit on car and grass.. not on any pavement... 34/32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdt Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wow nice! You should make a foot between that and later today easily I would think. I quite surprised by the overnight totals. I suspect areas in the 1000-1300' elevation range did and inch or two better. If part two produces 12" totals will verify though with compaction I highly doubt many will see 12" on the ground at any one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rygar Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Reports of 8-10 Inches in towns like far Rockaway, Lake Hopatcong. Can anybody confirm these totals? Preferably with a ruler lol? Confirmed!!! 8.5 in Lake HOpatcong. Amazing, it is right at 32. It must have really come down heavy earlier. So, 8+ inches of snow and it is already falling off the cars naturally. Weird.

A-L-E-X Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 According to this radar, it looks like it's starting to mix back over in NYC, presumably because the precip has lightened up. Back edge is in NE PA and will be upon us in a few hours. http://www.intellica...cation=USDC0001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weathergun Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Earthlight and Isotherm are in trouble with these bets. Especially after tonights stuff. I thought it was longshot. But predicting snow in those high elevations are really tricky. I wouldn't bet against them. I have a light mix of wet snow and rain falling now. Some coatings and dustings on the grass, car tops, roof tops, tree branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC 5 boroughs will have to wait until this evening and see if 6z nam and rgem verify with their cold and very wet coastal precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wow, impressive to see such high totals so far east in northern NJ. What's your elevation? 7" on grassy surfaces at 7:00 am in North Caldwell, NW Essex County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag3 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Speaking to friends, there is more snow in southern Queens then northern. Banding must have stayed south overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wow at some of those totals....so far I have less than an inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks like nwn and NW NJ gonna be the winners. They should get a nice hit possibly late today..right along the NY border. Still think it will be tough for the city and south of I-80, but good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm posting the SREF maps below with the caveat that it is doing poorer than other guidance (6z NAM and RGEM, SPC WRF) on the ongoing overrunning snow this morning. In fact, it has less than an inch for the entire NYC area through 15z, with the exception of NE NJ where it has 1-2". The main takeaway here from the SREF is that NW NJ, most of the lower Hudson Valley, all of southern CT, as well as the North Fork of LI are likely to receive warning criteria snow tonight. The SREF is likely a bit too warm on low-level temps so it's probably too low on snowfall on the southern fringe of the huge snowfall gradient it shows - i.e. Bergen County and Westchester County as well as much of LI away from the immediate South Shore. Here's the SREF probability of reaching warning criteria (6"+ snow in a 12 hour period) for 9z tonight. Here's the SREF mean snow accumulation.

A-L-E-X Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think its a good sign that the confluence to our north is stronger than forecasted. We did well last night with similar conditions as temps dropped to 32. No reason why it should be different tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 That's an insane gradient. Pompton Plains is only 8 miles north of N. Caldwell, where a poster just reported 7". Any idea of your elevation? The closest Weather Underground station (in Wayne, NJ) has an elevation of 56 feet. The closest station to N. Caldwell has an elevation of 369 ft. Wow at some of those totals....so far I have less than an inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wow and not even an advisory while warnings are up 5 miles to your west 7" on grassy surfaces at 7:00 am in North Caldwell, NW Essex County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwinter23 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Report from Holmdel, 1.5 inches on a snowboard type surface. 2 inches on the grass, but thats probably not the best place to measure at all in this event especially since the grass has greened and begun to grow in recent days. Oh yeah, that puts Holmdel over the 60" mark on the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 6z nam sim radars are pretty close to current depiction. Precip lightens and breaks up thru 2pm. After this, it shows precip gathering and then drops the real amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Alex - how much snow do you have? Better take a measurement soon before melting starts I think its a good sign that the confluence to our north is stronger than forecasted.

Better take a measurement soon before melting starts LOL I measured it at 7 AM but not going to report it since we dont know if this is it.... I had 0.7 inch as of then, but the snow had been over for an hour before that-- hopefully I didnt miss anything that melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
