Looks like shades of last Friday night around Wading River.  Too bad it won't last long.

 

Southern RI and the south coast could be in for a bit of an unexpected treat.

Made it to 1" here on the west side of WR, i suspect they did a little better a little further east.  Cleaned up the snowpack anyway, everything looks nice and white again

Zero here not even a dusting!!! WWA fail big time nice job Upton. We barely and i mean barely got a trace. You win some you loose some!

Yup, same here. Snow pack refresher=fail. If anything, the remaining piles looked even sadder this morning. When the precip started consolidating and intensifying south of us last night, I knew it was over. I'm glad longitude worked out again for southern RI/Mass and they had their heavy band.

so the europeans beat the americans..... again?

I'd call it more of a push.

 

3 or 4 days prior to the event when it was GFS/NAM vs. Euro...GFS/NAM had 3-6 inches and more on some runs, vs. the Euro which was wayyyy south with ALL precip.

 

The area got a general trace to 2 inches.

Significant bust for most of Central Jersey, i.e., at least for Mercer, Somerset, Middlesex and Monmouth (and Union if you count them), as I don't think I saw any reports over an inch for those locations and all were in Mt. Holly's 2-4" zone as of yesterday afternoon (Union was in the 1" zone for Upton, as I pointed that discontinuity out yesterday). We got 1/4" in Metuchen by around 10 pm and then...nothing, as far as I could tell. Kind of sucks. Also, weird that most of NW NJ (Hunterdon/Warren/Morris) all seemed to get 1-2" (and even a few isolated 2-3" amounts) as did most of South Jersey, south of I-195. Unusual pattern.

At least they didn't issue a WWA like a couple weeks ago. It was just a boundary layer issue mostly. Heavier precip to the south and colder temps to the north. In between got snow but wasn't heavy enough to cool the layer down to give us a decent accumulation. Just shows you can't always go by the 850s when the surface is too warm. But in the end its the weather. Can't get mad at it or the models just move on to the next storm...luckily we have several to track before the month is out
