As of 4:00 pm, we're at 4.75", so 1/2" the last 30 minutes.  Since about 4 pm, the intensity has come down a fair amount, as we're now snowing between lightly and moderately.  Assuming we have a few more hours of this, we'll easily make 5", but 6" might be out of reach, unless there is some backbuilding and we get back into the 20+DBZ bands.  Right now those bands have collapsed to just east of the TPK, which is east of me, as I'm 1/2 mile west of the TPK.  Not sure they'll come back. 

 

 

As of 5 pm, we hit 5.0", as that last band did backbuild to the west just enough to get us that last 1/4".  Looking at the radar, I doubt we get more than another 1/4" unless some stray short bands/squalls hit us, which is unlikely.  Areas in eastern half of Monmouth and Ocean and from NYC eastward can still get another inch or so, but I think it'll be over everywhere in NJ by 7 pm. 

Given that I'm seeing lots of 5-6" amounts in Middlesex County on AmericanWx, I'd say the NWS did well to go with the warning for 6" of snow (and I doubted them when they issued it around noon).  Just came in from a walk and my 2nd "shovel" with a push broom - nice easy stuff to push around.

Just got in from cleaning and it was light but seemed to be picking up again here in Colonia. Decent event.

Near JFK appears to be coming to an end shortly, now down to light snow. Should get us to 8 inches at least. Look for the 6p measurement at JFK. Beautiful storm. nice to get an overperformer. Hats off to NAM/RGEM and shame on the GFS and the Euro!

nah..another good hour of steady snow or more at jfk.
