JTA66 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Back edge approaching, just light snow now. Haven't been out since this morning, but 4"-ish looks like a safe bet for now. Temp 22F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Snowing at the storms best rates now despite the radar must be squeezing out the moisture on the back edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 got 4.2" officially so far. would love to make a run at 6 but I am satisfied. the wind is unreal out there. roads get plowed and are wrecked 5 minutes later from the blowing snow.

Bliz299 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 As of 1pm 9.6" on ground. Really tough measurement. Still have a light fall but with plenty of blowing snow. Radar says we're done very shortly. Maybe we'll get another one (or two?) this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I am starting to like this storm Special Weather Statement Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 128 PM EST Thu Jan 4 2018 NJZ012>014-020-026-042000- Middlesex-Western Monmouth-Eastern Monmouth-Ocean-Coastal Ocean- Including the cities of New Brunswick, Freehold, Sandy Hook, Jackson, and Long Beach Island 128 PM EST Thu Jan 4 2018 ...HEAVY SNOW WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW CONTINUES... At 130 PM, a band of heavy snow was located across Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean counties. This band will continue to shift eastward through the afternoon. Snowfall rates within this band are expected to be 2 to 3 inches per hour. The combination of heavy snow and strong winds continue to result in considerable blowing and drifting snow, treacherous road conditions and visibility in many places reduced to one quarter mile or less. North to northwest winds will continue to gust 40 to 50 mph with the higher gusts along the Shore. The snow is expected to taper off later this afternoon. Travel will continue to be severely impacted due to the combination of heavy snow, strong winds and significantly reduced visibilities. Unnecessary travel is highly discouraged especially in the coastal counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Wind gusts have dropped considerably since this morning although it is still somewhat breezy. Currently down to SN- with temp 23F. Dews are starting to drop again, now down to 18F. Stepped out back and sunk right into a near 1ft drift up against the back steps. lol Made a few measurements on my board and got 4.75", which is pretty much close to the mark on the yardstick attached to it.

It has only 2 consecutive days of max temps sub 10F. There is a good chance Mount Pocono will remain at or below zero from about 7 PM Friday through about 10 AM Sunday. That will also include some wind chill of 30 below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 4.3" here using melted liquid method from rain gauge and ratio chart based on approx air temps. Not 100% accurate but melted down had .27" le with air temp 20-22F during event = ~4.3" snowfall. Flurries periodically now but likely wont add to the totals. Another overperformer.

Newman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm in the middle of that band trying to form near Allentown yet nothing is falling from the sky. The dry air has really rung out the atmosphere here. Overall season total so far at 15 inches. Looks like we might have a couple more small/minor events in January but this month doesn't look too favorable for a big storm. We'll see how the upcoming pattern goes.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just got back in from taking the little bit of snow off the one side of the car (the rest of the car was completely clean) and shovel a little path to it. Am down to virga now despite returns showing on radar. Dewpoint down to 13 and dropping relatively quickly. Temp is 23F and still getting intermittent gusts and blowing snow.

I would never use that method...way too many discrepancies as way too many variable with w.e. equations to make it work well...PHL airport did use that for a while and abandoned it due to it's inaccuracy. Although with this storm I understand your thinking but really the best way is to find the snow depth on a day like today is to find the most level spot on your property and take 10 sticks across a few hundred feet and average them.

That's sounds like a real pain in the ass. Honestly, on a windy day like today, I don't how anyone could get a snow total with any degree of accuracy...
