gravitylover Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Slovenia got the real deal this week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI41yWgqglg I saw reports out of some of the Italian ski areas between 150-200 cm for storm totals!

masomenos Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 That makes sense. Perhaps it is 5 inches. JSantana usually throws his Cliffside Park measurement up regularly. He is slacking today lol. Is it just me, or does it seem like Bergen County always has the most screwed up snowfall totals? We have all these small towns on top of each other coming in with some pretty drastic differences in totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I got around 10" on the ground now and it aint going anywhere...I would guess Central Park went over 10" before the change over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the January storms me & JSantana both reported 10 or 11 inches as did North Bergen and Fort Lee yet Ridgefield which is mere blocks away from me and North Bergen reported 6 which got published by NWS along with Fort Lee and North Bergen at the exact same time frame which is absurd. I send in my measurements often to NWS but of course have no control over what gets published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it just has to do with all the urbanization around here. Then when you're further up north you have to deal with all those towering trees like I had back in Norwood. With the premium on land around here, you're very hard pressed to have a nice open backyard ideal for taking measurements...especially in the southern 2/3rds of the county where most of the NWS publishes its totals.

We also have a micro-climate here on the cliffs that messes things up particularly the swirling type winds we get in between the coop/condo towers and even in between homes due to properties being basically on top of each other and sitting on a 250 foot, exposed to the Hudson River cliff. In the windier/snowier coastals it is virtually impossible to get accurate measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 31F with a mix of freezing drizzle and snizzle. Refreezing is in progress. Not going anywhere tonight without scraping the windshield first, but why bother? Hi temp today was 33 for several hours which probably saved us a lot of grief. I can hear tree branches crackling in the breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It's snowing here now. We have a fresh coating on surfaces that were cleared off.

Guest Pamela Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Steady light snow in Port Jefferson the last 50 minutes or so with a nice sound effect streamer in conjunction with the disturbance moving through... Tacked on about 2/10ths of an inch in evening light snow So for the storm it was about 3.2"...and that includes accumulated sleet Monthly total: 11.7" Seasonal total: 44.2" Current snow depth: 9.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshack Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Tacked on about 2/10ths of an inch in evening light snow So for the storm it was about 3.2"...and that includes accumulated sleet Monthly total: 11.7" Seasonal total: 44.2" Current snow depth: 9.0" Just under 10" on the ground here. This is a terrific base that should be able to survive well into February given the current outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Tacked on about 2/10ths of an inch in evening light snow So for the storm it was about 3.2"...and that includes accumulated sleet Monthly total: 11.7" Seasonal total: 44.2" Current snow depth: 9.0" This morning at 9:30 our snow depth was 11". I'll check it again tomorrow. There is about 2.25" of water content in the snowpack. Still quite a bit behind 2011 when we peaked close to 6" water equivalent in the snow pack. Todays outcome bore a superficial resemblance to 2/1/2011, although that one had less snow/sleet (0.8" vs 3.1" today) and more ZR than this one. Todays was easily the better of the two here, although both events had similar snowy outcomes in the Boston area. To be honest, I am a little torn if I would have preferred more snow today. I love loading a bunch of sleet into a snowpack. Of course, now we need a thick layer of powder on top to complete the tapestry. Season snowfall total here is now 40.6".

NorthShoreWx Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Also, I just took an hour + jebwalk ... been needing the exercise after being sick recently. It is not 2011, but the amount of snow and the size of the piles everywhere is impressive. The streets were crunchy; i.e., not a bad grip while walking.

Allsnow Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 was impressed with the tree damage in the Holmdel area, a few decent size trees down and tons of branches. That little bit of elevation mad a diff then compared to hazlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
