2112wxgrl Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just be careful guys, the returns are going to look better on the NW edge than what is actually falling here on out Yes, heavier returns over Sussex County now. There is faint flurries falling. I have to squint at an evergreen to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Didn't the superstorm of 1993 drop more than 6.7' of snow in NYC? I was living in Flushing at the time and i thought we had about 10 inches during the superstorm. Yes. It brought 10.6" to NYC, however total snowfall for March 1993 was 11.9". If 6.7" falls today, March 2015 would have 13.3" snow. That would be the most since March 1967. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 3.25" as of 10 am and it's now 28F. Much smaller, drier flakes - been mostly moderate snow the last hour - just missed that death band to our south. Damn. Still a great storm so far. At least 6" looks pretty likely... 4" on the ground as of 11:15 am and it's now 27F and snowing moderately. At this point, I'm expecting 7-8", based on radar trends - looks like at least another 3-5 hours of ~0.75"/hr snowfall on the way. NW extent of the snowfall has only moved SE about 30-40 miles over the past 3-4 hours, from the Scranton area to the Mt. Pocono area, when it was expected to have sunk SE much further by now. That's why they raised the warnings for the Lehigh Valley and Warren/Morris, as those places are now likely to get 6" - could even get that in Sussex, too. And there's plenty of subtropical moisture streaming up towards us - if it doesn't get shunted SE faster, we could actually get 10" or more in most of the area.

Mophstymeo Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's sticking very well on cld surfaces. My car picked p at least 3-4". But it's still having trouble really accumulating on the pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequest Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Radar is showing that heavy band right over me in Warren County but it's hardly snowing. This incoming arctic air beginning to really dry us NW folks out???? That first band was really something with hvy snowfall rates but now this one...hardly anything!

winterwarlock Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Be careful declaring heavy bands just by looking at radar because multiple observations of little or no snow in nw jersey and people in lehigh valley saying much less is falling than radar would indicate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeRain Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Fantastic post as always Don. Very informatice.. Likely we are close to breaking the 1st benchmark in CPK ( even with THAT zoo keeper) Yes, weren't there complaints from our Manhattan observers about the Zoo Keeper for one of our earlier storms? It might have been the Non Blizzard storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
