Go outside and measure

Problem is im not in Clifton. Remotely operating my pc from my laptop in Sayerville NJ area. Other wise i would.

[BL03]

Not bad....

 

[WintersGrasp]

I'm IN that death band. Guys. This is incredible. It's a blizzard. That's the only way to describe it. After all the sleepless nights and anxiety I could cry. I'm the happiest man alive. I can't see more than 150 feet away. Heavy heavy snow. Up to 16 " here.

 

Nice!! Even the short term models are not picking up on that insane band out there. Send it west please ? Awesome storm here and the long duration is helping me out, however, I've yet to be under an intense band of snow to put this up with the other top snowstorms i've experienced. 13" here right now

[ag3]

That would put us over 30. Wow

12z Rgem had 45mm of liquid after 7am. At 7am, we had 6"-8". So a total of about 25"-30".

Ok, I'm in Montclair approaching 14" imagine Coifton is similar

[Drz1111]

Graupelly sleet, or sleety graupel, on the UES of Manhattan.

[dmillz25]

Death band looks to be setting up over the city and NNJ

[EasternLI]

Business is picking up a bit. Solid mod snow here again.

[Snowman86]

Great thx for your time and update. Very much so appreciated.

[Computer Guy]

Snow picking up again. I'm on 125st.

[ag3]

LGA 2" last hour and they're reporting 16" depth.

[danstorm]

Not crazy heavy, just your usual 1-1.5/hr rates in NE Essex co... Beautiful out.

[forkyfork]

get ready

[Superstorm93]

Death band will rotate SW, then slowly move east. In the process it will bury most of NJ and NYC. 

 

 

 

Fun times with a deformation band. Rates should rival BDB 

 

[cjr231]

Band is becoming clear on radar now.

[wxman]

15" down (unscientific measurement).  

[sferic]

Has this storm stalled  or slowed down or can it?

 

 

Some mets say it's moving quickly.

 

 

Where is the low pressure center?

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Thats a meat and potatoes band in EPA NWNJ. good luck!

[Superstorm93]

LGA up to 16.5" 

 

I could see how they get over 24" with that deformation band

Thats a meat and potatoes band in EPA NWNJ. good luck!

Yes it is near whiteout conditions for over an hour

[nzucker]

That record in 2006 is bogus. It didn't look like 26.7 inches at all.

Most people agree that March 1888 was actually NYC's biggest snowstorm. New Haven had close to 4' across the Sound, and parts of Brooklyn got three feet. Central Park grossly undermeasured in that storm, and they probably did in '96 as well.

[allgame830]

get ready

Will that band pivot back east into Westchester as well?

[Metasequoia]

NAM deathband setting up.

Anyone have a quick definition of a Deathband (weather variety)?

[dmillz25]

+BLSN here

[Keith O]

Absolutely getting pummeled now under this intense band, easily 2-3" an hour.  Last measurement estimated at 14".  

 

Got laugh a little that yesterday at this time NWS had me under a WWA for 4-8". 

[MJO812]

Heavy snow here. By the looks of it, looks about 15 inch
