Power was out until just a few minutes ago. Real nice event imby given expectations, and especially since it was still 50F when I went to bed at 11:30 last night. Either the 50 degrees or the 4" of snow is a lie man, we know snow cant accumulate after warmth. Stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called and spoke with a guy on the phone and was told they are not going to post it as they don't believe it. no way I got that much snow I was told. They are reviewing other reports as a priority. What the heck is going on there.... That's because others are reporting much less in the 6 inch range . I have many friends up there and all there photos show between 5,5- a little over 6 . Elevation in those people I know are between. 1200-1350. Either way it's a nice storm but sorry no way it's as much as you say . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I measured 4.0 inches here, Highland Mills, central eastern Orange County, and I'm only at elevation 600 feet, and I think some compression had already started when I measured at 8:00 am. Anyhow shades of two years ago, November 26 2014 when we received 9 inches the night before Thanksgiving and the coast was shut out. Hopefully this is a sign we're reverting back to the winter of 2014/15 anything to wipe out the nightmare of last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I dropped to 33° early on and I thought that was a good sign. Unfortunately it switched back and forth between sleet and snow, which created a slushy mixture. By the time the snow really came down it just didn't have enough time to grab and accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snywx Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Finished with 2.3" here @ 850'.. Literally every 100' you went up the accumulation drastically increased. The best bands did stay south & east of here though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have just been in combination of poor elevation/bad position relative to the way the LP was pivoted then, cause even highland falls saw 1" and they're at 144' so to be honest idk anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyWx Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 From what it seems at least, elevation looks to have been slightly more important in NJ. Here you really wanted to be at 1,000' or more, but 850' was probably the threshold for decent accumulations. Anyone around my area that was under 400' was lucky to get a sugar coating, whereas Rob and HudsonValley both got over an inch and are at 385' and 125' respectively. Interesting setup with this one.
