Violentweatherfan Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yeah that death band dropped guitar picks, and drum sticks out of the sky.Lol, nice. There was one last band up by Allentown, not sure if it can hold up but that will do it. Ugh, so sad to say goodbye.Edit: Just looked at weeniecast, it's a no go.

Edit: Just looked at weeniecast, it's a no go. I had been watching a surface map and within the past hour or so, the coastal low dropped to the SE, so it's apparently pulling the bands away with it. Unless it can/does refuel, we may have reached the end game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spagolli94 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 NE Philly got a tad screw job. Anyone have my total? There's no place near me to measure. We had multiple dry slots all day. Even this evening, that NYC stuff is going to miss us E a bit. I hate complaining during a Historic storm, but I bet I only got like 16" or so, compared to 30" in Warminster for example. I feel the exact same way. 90% of our snow seemed to fall last night when I was sleeping. Hardly saw a flake all day! By the time the band finally moved through it was dark again. Somehow, I have 18" of snow on my patio but saw very little of it actually fall from the sky. This storm had a wicked, persistent dry slot and we were stuck in in for what seemed like an eternity. I feel bad complaining about a foot and a half of snow, but it certainly feels like a bit of a screw job indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyinc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Last time I checked, the official number at the AC Airport was 9 inches. However, in Atlantic City itself, I would estimate that number to be 6 inches or so. Dry slot/rain most of the day, with quite a bit of it melting during the day. Drove into AC around 2:30 PM. Clear roads. Didn't go back to light snow about 3:3o or so. An inch or two on top of that. Main issue was flooding (depending on where you live). No flooding at my house.

snowisgood Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Near Honey Brook. Have some good elevation here too at 850 ft. It's not official CoCoRaHS standards, but measured 16" for first snowblow of driveway around 10am and then 9.5" around 4pm at second snowblow. 2" since that time. So 27.5" total. Depth is probably more like 25" I can vouch, here in Lionville we finished with somewhere between 27-28". Kind of difficult finding an area that wasn't fully affected by the wind. Great storm, glad I came back to witness it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Looks like we're about done here. Just some flurries and blowing snow. That Allentown band looks like it is disintegrating as the low drifts away but we may get sideswiped a bit by what's left of it if lucky. Central/South Jersey & N, Delaware are getting the last blast. Will wait until tomorrow to get a measurement if I can find a smoothed out spot since there's a lot of drifting out there. OBS flurries, temp 25.5F Winds light, NW I think this made up for the record-breaking December and the AC that I was running a couple days before Christmas.

BBasile Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just made the number i wanted. 14" @ 10:30 PM storm total. Looks like a lot more with all the drifts. Pretty cool looking now with the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaEasternWX Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'll take a measurement tomorrow but I am eyeballing it. I probably got around 18 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpantz Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Considering I expected to be on the northern fringe watching chaos to the south and southeast, I'm obviously giddy about having seen the largest single-storm snowfall in my life. At 31-32", it beat the 29" I saw in Parsippany, NJ back in 1996. I'm glad my kids are old enough to remember this (9 and 6), though I'm a little sad that they probably(?) just saw the biggest snowstorm they'll ever see. At least they got to play and didn't have to shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could do what I've been doing the past week and go to bed and when you wake up in 3am check the ipdates ect. Then back to sleep. A lot more less stressful and less risk.

JERSEYSNOWROB Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 'Only' 18.5 inches of snow here in the Morganville section of Marlboro Twp. Monmouth County. Like PB GFI said we had a slight dry slot here for a bit which kept our totals down. Still snowing here though so may add another inch? Enjoy the snow everyone! Sledding for us tomorrow at either Holmdel Park or Monmouth Battlefield St.Park. Kamu, I'll take some pics of snow mounds tomorrow! Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Did one last shovel (#6) - toughest one as the plows had just come by and tossed all the heavy wet stuff into the mouth of my driveway. Anyway, after that I took a quick spin to the middle school since I knew that was the only place I could get a good measurement. Final tally for Metuchen was 22", which is the 3rd most I've seen in my 24 years in Metuchen (28" for Jan-96 and 23" for Dec-2010). Helluva storm.

Treckasec Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't have a ruler, but I'll go with 18 inches unless somebody decides to measure here and it's different, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A RECORD SNOWFALL OF 14.7 INCHES WAS SET AT PHILADELPHIA PA TODAY, JANUARY 23RD 2016. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 11.9 SET IN 1935. THIS AMOUNT WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING AND AN UPDATED RECORD EVENT REPORT WILL BE ISSUED AROUND 135 AM SUNDAY. $$ DRAG Whoda thunk? NAM told Euro - "I'll show you. I'll NAM 'em for real!" (and I still remember the Euro's epic fail for the 1/27/15 storm). I love this post Agnes. Although I believe the NAM often does this on Miller A's. I remember one a few years back where it scored big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Considering I expected to be on the northern fringe watching chaos to the south and southeast, I'm obviously giddy about having seen the largest single-storm snowfall in my life.

I'm glad my kids are old enough to remember this (9 and 6), though I'm a little sad that they probably(?) just saw the biggest snowstorm they'll ever see. At least they got to play and didn't have to shovel. I saw a 36" storm in 1972 when I was 8. It is the biggest snowfall I will probably ever see. We weren't allowed outside without supervision because my mother thought we'd get lost. Having said that, I still have fond personal memories of the Blizzard of 78, the Blizzard of 83, Superstorm of 93, January 1996, PDI and PDII and on and on. All were over 20 inch storms and all had unique qualities that go beyond final totals. 5" of snow in an hour. The high drifts. The howling winds. The low visibilities. I guess that's a lot of words to say 'don't sweat it". Your kids will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
