It's going to be harder to shovel than a powdery 20" snowstorm would be.  I wonder what the liquid equivalent is going to end up being.

Well over an inch, maybe 1.25". Central Park seems to be around 1" already.

Some nice bigger flakes moving in now; nice winter scene outside.

How are you doing in Plainfield? Dad is in Union Township, he's thinking it might bust low, he only meaurred 5" and precipitation rates are beginning to lighten up.

[EYETOTHESKY]

I have heard more thunder today then during many thunderstorms in the summer.

Same, most I can ever recall in a snowstorm

[nesussxwx]

10.0" OTG.

25 w/ mod snow.

[jm1220]

The snow coming down now is definitely higher ratio stuff but probably less liquid than the snow a couple hours ago. In this band the aggregates are definitely helping it pile up. 

[tomcatct]

Thunder snow here in trumbull

[Manny]

Went on a mile walk from 830-10am, just heavy pounding snow. Ripping still here, low visibility, heavy rates, good winds. 

[Juliancolton]

Just an incredible amount of electricity in this snowstorm.

We might squeeze out 6-7. After being heavy before 9am it's alternated between light and moderate. Could be worse. Amounts are much lower the closer you get to Philly.

8.25in OTG in Syoset. 2/3in rates. Heavy snow

As of 7 am, we have 1.5" of sleet/snow on the ground, meaning we've had 1/2" in the last 45 minutes - going to need to do better than that to get to 8"+ in the next 5-6 hours or so, which is what we supposedly have for good snows.  Does look like it's picking up the last 10 minutes.  Down to 29F.  

As of 10 am, we have 5" on the ground, so not as much per hour as earlier (that's 0.75"/hour since 8 am vs. 2"/hour from 7-8 am).  Looking like the snow is ending out by the Delaware River soon and will likely be over by noon around the I-95 corridor.  Will be surprised if we make it to 8" - maybe 6-7" here.  Will likely be a minor bust for most in the CNJ area, as snowfall is not reaching the general 8-12" forecast in Central Jersey.  Still a nice snowstorm.

We are likely going to underperform in this area, but models were hinting at this, according to some last night. I think we make a run at 7 inches and be happy with it.

Rgem nailed it. Euro was way overdone out this way

[ict1523]

Still heavy snow here, but not the can't see across the street type anymore. Did not get to hear any thunder.

[Ericjcrash]

1 last little band from city west and it's over. Hopefully squeeze out another inch.

Yeah that is what I thought, it's coming down decently though, we may make 7. Thanks for reporting your measurements ( so I don't have to go out in it! )

[winterwarlock]

back edge approaching rapidly, things winding down...we will end up with somewhere between 4-5..closer to 5..tough to measure

that RGEM from overnight did nail the screwjob for those i78 south and to the west

[North and West of Town]

Looks like 7 to 8 in and around MMU, with lots of blowing and drifting. (Clean roof like last year!) Pleased considered what we've had to date so far! My kids will be happy. This reminds me of a lite version (at least in terms of dynamics here immediately) of February 8, 1994. Totals about the same, but over 5 hours, rather than 2.

We don't seem to do that well in these kinds of patterns, with 8 being about  max in them. i've seen a lot of storms, and without serious blocking, 4-8 seems to be the best we can do.

[RDRY]

It's back-building!

Oh wait, those are just lake effect streamers.

[EYETOTHESKY]

everything almost buried and this was almost an hour ago..it's still ripping harder now actually.

[NJwx85]

Ripping snow here still, and some of the largest flakes of the day.

Looks like we can make it to 10" here- what do you think? It'll be our second double digit snowfall of the winter (I'm counting the 9.5" from January 8th)

[EasternLI]

Insane rates out there now. I measured 3" OTG at 10 am. 4" OTG at 10:15... Can't see across the street now...

[ForestHillWx]

Last push of snow out this way. Temps down to 23. 

Going out to measure again, looks like 10-11".
