7" here

Biggest event for the season

36.5" seasonal total

 

I feel sorry for "IsentropicLift".

The guy pours his heart and soul into the pbp and then

gets the shaft of the season…just a small area that did not crack 6" with this over NNJ.

Not being sarcastic, really feel bad for the guy.

 

Have to agree...getting one inch less snow than everyone else is up there with the great injustices that any man has ever endured...

Overall a very impressive event, one a few days out I thought would do well given how much moisture it had to work with, tapped directly from the El Nino-enhanced Pacific. We didn't see the 12" amounts I thought could happen somewhere east of the Apps, but a great event for March.

Has this recently changed? I was taught the board method in St Louis about 5 years ago by the NWS. If so, thanks for the new info

Sent from my iPhone

 

Yes, it changed before the 2013-2014 season.  Today was one of those days We would have reported an extra inch or two if wiping a board.  6.3" total here.  I was a little surprised as it looks like more.  That is probably because of all the old snowpack.

If Upton is sort of pressed for time and not able to update the PNS...they should utilize their Twitter account and just post the totals at the local airports...shouldn't take terribly long. 

 

Shouldn't be long now...they're just changing the ribbon in the typewriter.

I never root against Boston; though I know many do...they are on the coast like us and they have their share of heartbreak...for being that far to the north, a mean annual snowfall of 43" is nothing to envy.  I mean, New Haven's long term numbers were like 37" in the 20th century.

 

When I moved to Long Island, the town I rooted against was Albany...the quintessential location in the interior (albeit in a valley) that took the moisture off our Atlantic and turned it into white gold for their benefit; and at our expense. 

 

I like it when people are happy, unless they don't like snow.

Central park had 7" at 4 PM and they got another .04 LE with presumably good ratios. I think the final figure should be about 7.5".

That sounds low.

There was good banding through about 6:00pm.

LGA came in with 8.4"

I don't think NYC comes back with less then 8".

I came in with over 8 in Brooklyn (8.2 to be exact) it looks like a very uniform 7-9 for our area.

Any reports out of Staten? They snowed longer than almost anyone and had heavy rates the entire time. If anyone cracked 10 inches in the immediate area I'd guess there.

A friend of mine in SI measured 9, but it's possible that other areas got 10 (he lives close to clove lake park)

final total 6"

16" current depth

 

6.5" Port Jeff...the much celebrated Dunkin Donut hole over this area proved too much to overcome....59.3" for the winter.
