The Snowicane 2010 was probably the biggest heavy/wet snow storm I can remember here. 11” of paste. There have been a number of others that were 6-8”. I definitely like how picturesque that snow is vs the powdery stuff that blows into drifts. Unfortunately the flip side is that it takes trees and power lines down.

Juliancolton Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 4 minutes ago, jm1220 said: Gusts here have been diminishing over the last hour. Still gusty but 45-50 mph vs over 60. Sometimes as these lows depart, high pressure building in can increase the gusts. Also there may be better mixing to the surface. If your temps are increasing without heavy precip, there may be better mixing. That was my first instinct, but I've been holding steady at 32F for many hours now. I guess the column drying out would naturally promote warming/better mixing regardless of the ground temp, so that doed make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must’ve been crippling. Like you said, just moving it was near impossible, and I’m sure it took down a ton of trees and power lines. The worst part of that storm here was the wind. I remember it as one of the worst wind events I’ve experienced here until the March storm 3 weeks later which gusted my area up to 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also be that the high elevation spot had heavier snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovewinter Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 It’s a little bit out of area for this forum, but Milford PA is the next town over from where I am in far northwest NJ, and they are in terrible shape. We got 10 inches; some places in Pike County PA are reporting 18 or more, especially up on the mountains. People have been stuck at the Walmart in Matamoras PA and other places in Milford area for 9-10 hours because there are so many trees/wires down they can’t get to their houses. Crazy! They’ve called in the National Guard to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rtd208 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I had just over 2.00" of total precipitation from the storm and about coating of snow that accumulated on the colder surfaces once the full changeover occurred yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Pretty much all the snow that fell here is gone. Took a ride down 17 this morning and the cutoff for snow on the ground was Allendale. The hills just to my NW are still snow covered, and it looks like they received a lot more up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 37 degrees at noon, 8 inches of snow otg, looking like the first week of March is supposed to look like. I know the planets warming but many referring to March as a spring month and looking forward to warm weather is just not the way it's suppose to be. Thank God last weeks freakish warmth is done for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathermedic Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Seems like the high tide was worse this morning along the sound and channeled down the East river.

About 2 miles upstream from the East River/LI Sound. Theres a advisory now but a coastal flood warning on the western Sound tonight/Sun morn.
