wolfsheepsheadbay Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 This is not a BECS for anyone. HECS for Central LI through Conn and MA. Strong MECS for the remainder of LI and NENJ. A regular MECS for NYC, west. BECS implies it's never happened ever before. Even what happened in Central LI and Conn has happened on a few other occasions. The one BECS component might be that death band early yesterday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootmandu Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm in Commack, and the 29.1" seems about right. Can't even get out of my home yet. There is a giant mound of snow where my car used to be. We were part of that heavy snow band in the early morning hours that seemed to last forever, so I knew it would be bad. Still....this is pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 right around 9.5/10 in Monroe,NJ. Measures lastnight after the last band came though shortly after 4:30. That band that came in between 2 and 4 was amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Best snow in at least 2 years. Went out around 1:00 pm to shovel and it took me about 90 minutes and by the time I was done, there was another 2.5" where I had shoveled! My measurement at 2:30 am (average of several and there's little wind, so it's pretty accurate) was 9.0", so we made it to the 8-12" range I was calling for, which makes me happy for the call, but moreso, because we got this gorgeous, light, fluffy, highly crystalline, low moisture content snow. Some of the heaviest snow I've seen in awhile with true 1/4 mile visibility for the last 30 minutes I was out there (in the last 30 minutes an inch fell). We should be able to get to 10", at least, judging by the radar and with a little luck what looks like our last good band will train over us for an hour or two and get us to 12"! Would love it... Fell asleep around 4:00 am, woke up around 8:00 am and went outside and measured a final tally of 10.5" in numerous spots (technically 10.0" measured + 0.5" that fell yesterday morning). Reports from around the region were reasonably well in line with what what the Euro and many pros were predicting, although quite a few pros busted badly on the low end (will never forget Bill Evans's 1-3" prediction for most of Central Jersey on Thursday night, if I recall correctly. Like many in this forum/thread, I was very worried after that scare in most of NJ, where we had the 3-4 hour lull - just imagine if we hadn't had that lull, but had an additional 2-4" in most places? Anyway, here are a few numbers I collected, figuring people might want to see some representative reports (mostly in NJ, where I am) and the links below are to the NWS snowfall reports: Central Park had 11.4", LaGuardia had 12.1", parts of LI/CT had 24-30", with the most I've seen reported being Milford CT with 38". Cheesequake reported 10.6", Paramus-14", Millburn-12", Jersey City-11.5", Newark-10", Scotch Plains-12", Princeton-7", Flemington-6", Hazlet-9", Somerville-7", Chatham-14", Pt. Pleasant-9", Brick-3", Vernon-12", Hackettstown-7" and Piscataway 8.5". Most of South Jersey/Philly reported 1-4", the NW Philly suburbs got 2-4", and the Lehigh Valley/Poconons reported 4-7". I didn't report anything that wasn't reported after about 4 am, since reports before then are probably missing a lot of snow. Hell of a storm. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=OKX&product=PNS http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=PHI&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWCCraig Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 thank you. looks like you guys made out just fine in the end. around a foot and a half? Yep. It's nice. The north shore made up for what they've been missing out. With the clipper systems we had over the past few weeks, the south shore came in with the most so you guys deserve it. I'm happy with what I got. I was happy with a foot. Glad I got more. My street has yet to be plowed though. A little jealous of what you got though.

Stormlover74 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Cuomo saying CT and MA got hit harder than NY. I don't see any amounts in MA close to Suffolk county totals though I realize its not done there and those reports could be old. Be he sort of downplayed the impact on NY state.
