NYCGreg Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Not saying they are wrong, but I have yet to see an official report anywhere of over 20 inches from this storm. I'm guessing around 10 people have stated on this board they have over 20 inches from this storm. Pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB COLTS NECK NJ Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 2 for 2 A great system once again esp N and W as the pattern has cooperated with some of the past analogs we used at 500 This is snowmaggedon 2 displaced N and W , so places in EPA NWNJ and the HV saw 2 excellent snowstorms in just 5 days The 3rd / the last in the series will be Monday Only a small correction is needed for another major winter storm to take aim at the area. Once again , I am not fully sold on the coast like I am the interior but like today details sometimes ruin a great pattern forecast Here in Monmouth County we got 5 today and not the 10 I thought But the 12 to 18 worked out great N and W Goos luck Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 1 hour ago, RU848789 said: 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. So, just did my 2nd shoveling (not nearly as bad as the first - lower water content) in the middle of the last hurrah of the storm, so that was fun. Measured 7.75" on the ground at about 7:30 pm, which, combined with the 3/4" from this morning, gives me a final tally of 8.5". So my 6" guess from 2 days ago ended up being better than my 13" guess this morning before things got going, lol. Got too enamored with the models, I guess, and that surprise sleet/rain actually took away about 1" from my final measurement, as the snow compacted from about 3" to 2" at that time (need to talk with NOAA about that, as I don't think it's accurate to not account for that compaction due to rain, but the measurement guidelines don't appear to allow one to correct for that compaction), plus the 90 minutes of mostly missing snow probably took away another 2+", i.e., we could've had 11-12" if not for the sleet/rain. Oh well. Still a helluva storm for March, with some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen (3" per hour at times), plus THUNDERSNOW! And I won a $100 bet with an on-line friend from the RU football message board: the bet was that New Brunswick would get more than its average snowfall for March, of 4.2". We made the bet back when I was posting on that board in late Feb about the upcoming potentially snowy pattern. Not sure what NB got officially, but I saw unofficial reports of around 7". Was a fun bet as the loser donates to the RU Football Program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snywx Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 4 minutes ago, NJwx85 said: The GFS had rain into NE NJ which was wrong and the NAM was too far West with the heaviest snows. The death band that hit you guys in NE NJ was showing on the 0z NAM in Sussex county running through western Orange, instead it ran through W Passaic/Bergen into eastern orange. We got a piece of the band for 2 hrs and it was truly amazing. Glad you guys finally cashed in down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPF queens will perhaps learn someday. other lessons to take home from today: difficulty accumulating in coastal UHIs in marginal boundary layers climatology for 6+" storms in march shows low risk watch for mesoscale details, like: frontogenetic/deformation banding - that was the hot spot, as you'd expect, and the NAM and GFS didn't catch onto the placement of that until today (except random other runs days ago) heaviest snow fell just left of strongest frontogenesis dry slot - model internals were onto this despite QPF imperfections (look at 700-500 RH progs) lapse rates + dynamics - 6.5-7.5+ C/km progged and observed plus impressive upper dynamics contributed to prolific thundersnow (dry slot also associated w/ this) level of impact not always directly related to accumulations i.e. in aviation, runways contaminated with any snow + unfavorable crosswinds winds (~G30KT+) can be a low or no ops situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem81 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 took the family to Mahwah. Crazy difference driiving back between Upper Bergen and Nyc metro. Once over the GWB the roads has no snow. Went from 20 inches to about 10 in the paramaus area to around 3-5 here in Western Nassau. NYC?LI just dont seem to accumate with borderline temps. The 850 and 925 temps were good and so was LP placement. Frustrating! but happy i saw the 20 inches and crazy snow rates before coming home.

It wasn't really a north-south thing because Staten Island had 8"....and we had about 5-6" here in the Northeast Bronx. You have to account for UHI when it's a late-season storm with a marginal boundary layer. There wasn't an arctic high in place so we didn't have a very cold airmass.
