Still steady snow here in nwnj even though the radar shows nothing. Been this way for a little while.

same here but looks to be winding down in past 5 minutes. 1.7 here here in Kew gardens Queens & ill guess CPK will come in with 1.5 to be at 57 inches before warm up

[doncat]

Sleet here now... 1.5 in.

[earthlight]

NYC reported 1" so far..it's a long shot but if they get 2.8" we will break the record for snowiest 30 day period of all time.

hope so but believe , at most 2 inches more likely 1.5.. radar is done & 2nd batch 850's will have torched by then & has a northern gradiant

If it is above freezing its close. Sticking nicely. Man coastal Monmouth is having one hell of a winter. Usually the least snowy place in the NYC metro and just killing it

 

Still quite a substantial difference between coastal Monmouth and interior Monmouth.  Right on the coast in Neptune, I am at 44.5 inches, interior Monmouth is between 60 and 65 inches as reported in this thread.  We were fairly close through the end of January, but the spread really widened in February, particularly with the 2/13 event.

1.8 OTG Kew gardens and Heavy snow picked up again with cotton ball babies falling from a dark gray sky

[rossi]

Right in line rossi. The warm up is shunted. 4 days. Then we hav 10 days to grab a little more.

With 1.0" reported at Central Park, NYC has now reached 56.6" for the season. That moves winter 2013-14 past 1898-99 for the 7th snowiest winter on record.

[Snowshack]

Moderate snow, 1" new.

And with that we have about 4 weeks to grab 19 inches for the all time mark. based on long term mdels of cold returning in 7 days Id say we have a chance

[donsutherland1]

I've been told that it is still snowing moderately in the Bronx right now. The radar doesn't really show it, so perhaps the back edge of the snow might be a little farther west than what the radar shows. That won't amount to any significant additional accumulations, but perhaps snow will linger in the air just a little longer.

[LongBeachSurfFreak]

50/50 rain snow mix now I'm wantagh. Measured exactly 2" so upton nailed it here. Man they have been good this winter

[Zelocita Weather]

Moderate snow in Bergen County, radar does not seem to show it but it is falling, wonder if the snows in PA can translate over

[gravitylover]

If you looked at the radar you'd think it's clearing here but I've got mod+ bordering on heavy.  

[JERSEYSNOWROB]

Main roads just wet and slushy in spots but all side streets snow covered.

[doncat]

Temp down 2 degrees here past 30 minutes as winds have gone west.

[TWCCraig]

Still light to mod snow here. Definitely over 2".

[FreeRain]

32 degrees, 2" and still snowing moderately. 69" for the season.

[Zelocita Weather]

So far 1.5" in Millburn, seeing if we can squeeze out additional snows from the batch in PA....does look like it is trying to make a push in, especially to northern sections.

It seems that this is a fairly widespread issue. Earlier, I had noted that I heard that it was snowing moderately in the Bronx, even as the radar showed very little precipitation.
