Wow, what a difference just a few miles to the northwest of where you guys are. 2 to 3 inches? I only have 1 inch here in Piscataway. Still, it looks great out there with the wet snow coating everything. A beautiful scene.

It's no lie. This band has just been sitting over us. Great way to end winter

That's why I said I wish I knew how to post pix.  My wife is a photographer, but she'd kill me if I woke her up.  You'll have to take our word for it, but I'd swear on a stack of bibles, although I'm an atheist so that won't really help, lol.  But anyone who's seen my posts hopefully knows that I'm a nut about measuring accurately (taking at least 10 measurements and averaging them - I usually use a board, but not tonight, since I honestly wasn't thinking of staying up this late - been measuring on my car and my back yard deck, both of which are unobstructed.  Interestingly, the car has about 1/4" more than the deck and 1/2" more than the lawn, presumably because no liquid "ponded" on my car, so less melting took place when the snow started.

Oh, I believe you guys. I know you're smart weather people that know how to measure accurately. I'm just a touch more to the west here in Piscataway, and that has made a difference. On radar, the heaviest snow has clearly been a few miles to my east. But in the last half hour, the band has made more of a push to the west. It has really been coming down here in the last half hour. I just went out to measure again, and am up to 1.5" now.

Wow, has it been coming down heavily in the last hour. Now it's starting to lighten up a bit. 2.5" where I am in Piscataway. Also interesting that there is still absolutely no accumulation on the road. It just hasn't been able to accumulate on the warmer surfaces. Not too often you can get 2.5" with none of it accumulating on the road. But it looks like a postcard out there with all the snow on the trees. Nice little event.

Measured 3.3 inches of new snow in Port Jefferson as of 4:30 AM. There was 1.0 inches of snow from the first part of the event but that melted yesterday afternoon. 4.3 inches total from the system so far.
