Given where you lived, that's not much of a surprise. Even where I grew up in north Jersey, the highlands not the NYC apron communities, it was rare for snow to fall on snow, and when it did the earlier stuff usually had a crust that would bear a small car. I can recall only 2 powder-on-powder times. One was in Feb 1967 when we had 4" ending at 8 AM on the 6th as a cold front roared in, and by 5 the next morning a much bigger storm had arrived (before the 1st one had a chance to crusticate.) The major instance came Jan-Feb 1961, with 20" on Jan 19-20 (the JFK inaugural storm), a couple small events, then 24" on Feb 3-4 (with NYC's fastest Feb wind on record.) That stretch was the city's longest run - 16 days - of remaining below 32, actually below 30. I doubt it reached above 25 where we lived. Some nearby slightly higher elevations reported depths on Feb 4/5 of 47" to 52". I'd guess we were close to 45, far above anything where I lived before moving to northern Maine. Here in Augusta it's still teens and little flakes, perhaps 3" new. Talked with a co-worker from the Farmington office, and he thinks it's closer to 6" there.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Back to moderate snow here. I had to come downtown for a small work crisis. Roads are not in great shape... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we’re getting partially refrozen flakes Yeah, that's what the GFS was showing for areas basically south and east of the lakes region for this afternoon. I wonder if it ever makes it to Gene before the mid levels start to cool. I'd say you guys overperformed on this one, and more possible snow on the backside.

MarkO Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 WV reported 6" at 1:19, by the looks on radar and webcam, I woudln't be surprised if they're up around 9" by now with heaviest stuff so far on their doorstep.

Agreed, but will want to watch this closely as the centers become better aligned as the MSLP over eastern CT slides NE and the secondary surface low deepens. I think the best rates of the day will be in that feature by far... Expecting and looking forward to a wintry surprise even around here close to the coast... Dendrite should really see it pile up, while I try to thread the needle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 33.4F at the house. In a dry slot now after rains pushed through. Maybe a net gain of around an inch.

wxeyeNH Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 23.5F (high for the day) light to moderate snow 7.5". 1" new past hour. Looks like the heaviest echoes now passing by. My guess is we will end up with about a 9ish type storm which is about what the models predicted. Really seemed like this storm worked out as planned... Adding this to the snowfall from the other day sure looks like deep, deep winter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
