Looks like all she wrote here in Port Jeff...picked up about 10.5" of snow since this thing began about 22 hours ago...21.0" for the month of January...29.2" on the season.

 

BTW...6z GFS looked very nice for Days 5 & 9...TWT.

I've lived out here a while and can't remember a winter with two storms this size with sub 15 degree temps during most of the storm...let alone them being within 3 weeks of one another.

Central Park is now up to 26" of snowfall for the season.

EDIT: Central Park is now .9" of snow above average. The average snowfall (Based on the 1981 to 2010 Average Snowfall from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center) is 25.1" of snow.

Central Park averages more then 25.1".

Looks like places around me are reporting 10-15". Honestly nowhere for me to get a real measurement here. The open spaces have 0-5" of snow - but then there's 2 foot drifts near the house, and 1 foot drifts near the car. On on side of my car it's not even covered with any snow- but on the opposite side there's 5" stuck to it. This storm is inconclusive, I demand a redo without any wind. ;)

I feel like the ratios up here weren't quite as good as I was expecting perhaps due to the intensity being light for most of the day. When that band finally made it up this way flake size dramatically increased and we received about 75% of our total accumulation in about 4 hours. Final number was 10.7".

The better lift was right up I 95  and East . up to 18 fell out .7  in eastern Monmouth,  Kudos to UPTON  who 

 bought the 20 to 1 Monday and never waivered .

This may be a first for our area with two Jan 12" or greater events with both near 20:1 or more and temps dropping below 10. These Arctic boundary events in the past never really delivered to the extent of these two. 

Late January 1994 and January 1977 had smaller snow events ahead of their Arctic outbreaks 

for us here. But Eastern PA did very well ahead of the major outbreak in 1994.

Well considering that my county wasn't even included in the initial watch I feel pretty good about things. Four or five days ago the models barely had anything. As long as we stay on the periphery of the polar vortex we should have more good things come to fruition as we enter our statistically snowiest month.

And much of Morris and Sussex saw less than 5" so you made out pretty well

When all was said and done I think the GFS handled this system the best. The NAM was a mess for days, the RGEM was too wet for a run or two and the Euro was too dry. The NAM never showed us any of its typical epic bombs that it loves to show in the 24-36hr range which is good. I'm sure it won't disappoint with the upcoming systems however. That 1/31 system has epic bomb model porn written all over it.

Yes I was right on the cusp of where the heavy snow made it. It was coming down in buckets between 4 and 8pm, then slowly tapered off. No complaints here. Definitely exceeded expatiations by a wide margin. Between the wind and cold it was down right miserable outside last night snow blowing my driveway.
