Picturesque, and much more hazardous than the smaller amounts would lead one to think. In fact, with the difficulty removing this stuff, I may have a school delay tomorrow. Other parts of NJ will be closed again. My BIl works in Red Bank and they had nothing down there when he came home. Don't know if they got anything.

Stormlover74 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 If we had colder temps this would've been a widespread 10-15" with spots getting 18-20. The warm temps and banding wreaked havoc on the forecast. If you get an inch liquid but lousy snow rates with temps above 35 you're screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 2 hours ago, RU848789 said: 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. As of 5 pm, we were up to 6.25" (1.5" that hour) and we then got 1.5" between 5 and 6 pm, so we're up to 7.75" for the storm (about 7" on the ground, plus the 3/4" we had this morning) as of 6 pm. And still coming down. Can we get another hour out of this and get to 9"? Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycemt123 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yeah you guys got setup very nicely by that band that parked over 287. No doubt higher amounts verify there. Everywhere else really couldn't get things going steadily It's still over us. Finally got lucky! I'm not even thinking about the shoveling for our cars yet.

Now we usually end up doing a lot better than places like philly or Washington DC but the true winners will always be SNE. That's why the last decade has seen places like CT and LI do really well because they usually catch the good banding on the western side when the storm has fully matured and maxed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
