For the past hour I did some errands. Went onto Route 1 for a bit, then 287 and both were snow covered and getting bad and local roads in Edison and Metuchen are an adventure. Back to the snow. About 1:30 pm or so started getting some sleet and then the past 20 minutes have been snow/sleet and surprisingly just moderate in intensity. Looks like that's about to change and hopefully we'll go back to all snow (50/50 now). As of 2:00 pm we have 3" of new snow on the ground, so only 1" the last hour. 3.75" total counting our 3/4" in the morning. OMGWOW!!!! The heaviest snow this year, no question, and maybe in many years, although I probably always say that - most recent one always stands out - this 2-3" per hour stuff, even heavier than earlier. Let's see if it holds up. After getting now more accumulation from 2:00 to maybe 3:30 or so (sleet, rain and low intensity, plus compaction), was still at 3.0" new at 3:00 pm. Well I just took my 4 pm measurement and we're up to 4" of new snow and 4.75" overall. Got an inch in the last 20 minutes, which is a 3" per hour rate. Will we sustain that? Also, if folks didn't see it NWS-Philly just updated their snow map and warnings/advisories. Initially surprised the NWS increased total snowfall amounts for us again, although looking at the radar and the absolute puking snowfall rates right now, maybe it's not a bad call.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 You can see the pivot/backbuildig happening now on national radar. Storm won’t be scooting east as fast as many were saying earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous hourly runs had it shutting off earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherFeen2000 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I wish this storm happened during the nighttime. It would have been a different story in new York city. Still time to go but it's slim now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpruf Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 3 minutes ago, NYCGreg said: Just wait and see what happens. Maybe the last few hours deliver. Even if they don't, is it worth spending the rest of the storm - and possibly the last storm of winter - complaining? See this is what I mean. I made an observation. Example of complaint: this weather sucks ( the consensus among the rest of the population ) Examples of observation: the storm is not performing as well here; areas to the west have more snow etc. Not saying I haven't complained at all, but that was not a complaint.

WintersGrasp Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Clearly, in March, you need one of two things (both help, of course)..elevation or the best banding over your area. If you have neither, it’s very, very difficult to exceed 6” of snowfall. I feel like the last several storms have been right around 5-6” total. I do agree with the decision by the NWS to forecast amounts up to 16” though. Their maps are also very useful showing the lowest/highest amounts amounts and the chance of each happening. My forecast has been for 10-16”. 3-4” down and I could see us getting 6, maybe 7 here..but areas not too far to the SW, W, N, and NW (maybe even E on LI) will definitely get 10-12”+, easy .

BombsAway1288 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Puking snow right now in NE Bergen county. Gotta be 1.5-2in/hr. Hopefully this holds for a couple of hours and we can make a run at double digits which is double than I thought a couple of hours ago.

Coming down nicely here too right now. Love your enthusiasm RU. Drove the wife in to lyse her cells and RTQPCR whatever that is, and ran into the start of storm on 287 from S Plainfield to Colonia and it was difficult in only a 30 min span. After that burst, same here we had hours of lighter stuff and sleet. Its coming down now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
