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 Philly area got hit pretty hard today.

True Miller B. No metro area did better than NYC. JFk 20.2" to me its pretty simple - temp profiles. They have sucked for the better part of 7 weeks.

And still coming down. Can we get another hour out of this and get to 9"? Maybe. Actually it is still snowing over here too. I'll have to measure again. There can't be that much difference between here and Metuchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetbulbs88 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Moderate snow, still not much accumulation to speak of. Temps set the precedent for a bust here in the city, but I blame rates/disorganization of the banding far more. When it snowed hard, it stuck. Then it stopped for two hours and let everything go back to puddles. Can't accumulate if it isn't snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Briefly moderate snow as the dryslot approached, then quickly ramped back up to very heavy snow which is still ongoing. Something just fell in the woods behind the house and ripped a wire off the house. Everything seems to be functioning so I think it is old phone company copper that we don't use any more...but power is getting very tenuous here. This video from about 25 minutes ago. visibility has been running about 1/8 mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right off the Utopia Pkwy exit right near the Throgs Neck Bridge. We really got the shaft on this one, surprised that anybody lost any power in our neighborhood from only a couple of inches even though it's a couple of inches of cement.

I don't think it's your fault personally. I just think there is bound to be variation. Also, a lot of people had an inch overnight so you have to add that on.
