Was hopeful for at least something. Again LMAO at the high res model disasters. Yeah that's a good point. I'm definitely satisfied with the outcome here. The wind was probably the most impressive aspect of the whole storm, although switching precip. types every few minutes was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious how the heights ended up now that it's all over. I would also love to have some reports from right up the hill in Kinnelon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 That Randolph number seems high. I'm 5 miles west; finished with about 7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was optimistic this morning when we were pounding with snow before expected, but the lousy low level air intruded and after 1pm or so most of what fell here was rain. Probably didn’t help either that we had so much fall during the day. A couple of degrees would’ve helped big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would have a similar situation here, but once the daylight diminished and it cooled down enough, it started to stick quickly. Only thing was, it didn't last long, which is why I capped off at roughly 4", whereas Animal and Western Morris saw more than double that. They were off to the races early out there.

Never thought I’d say that in this type system. I was resigned to it being a Boston to Buffalo burier 48 hours ago. Part of that was right!!

Do you think that this is why we have this happen so often with late season set ups that the Jersey Shore gets more snow than NYC and Western Long Island (that and urbanization up here.)

Wasn't this supposed to be a night time storm and a storm that lasted into Saturday morning ? Storms this is being compared to are March 1962 and December 1992. I wasn't around for March 1962 but from what I read that was better further south in Central and Southern Coastal NJ while December 1992 was far more damaging for NYC and Long Island and North Coastal NJ.
