Full list of spotter reports, anyone?

I cant even find a full list of airport snowfall info.

Im hoping someone will do a comparison of this vs the post Sandy snowstorm, side by side, I want to see which of our airports and spotters did better in this one vs that one and since that was a big surprise also and also happened around rush hour, why didn't that one cause so many issues?

Wow very comparable in places like JFK and EWR, but the total for LGA was surprisingly low in that earlier storm.  It was still king in Nassau County where we had up to 9 inches right down to the South Shore and parts of Central NJ had up to 14 inches!

 

Thanks Don, as far as snowfall totals are concerned, they are very comparable, although the distribution was different, and that one was far less disruptive although equally less well predicted.  I think people were still in shock after Sandy so their lives had already been so disrupted that storm could not disrupt them much farther.

yes. At my house in Lower Macungie Township PA  near Allentown PA at 5:00 am this morning. 3 separate strikes of lightning IT woke me up out of bed and it was vomiting snow at the time as a heavy band set up over the LV. I recorded 9 inches of snow/sleet 

How did Carbon County do with this storm?  Talking about places like Jim Thorpe, Lehighton, Albrightsville, Lake Harmony, Hazleton, etc.?

I am going to post this on another thread also so that I might get an answer. Can any of you tell me what EXACTLY IS the criteria for NYC and or NJ to treat main roads or bridges with Brine or Salt ? I mean when do they treat roads is it once WWA are issued or WSW or sooner ? I realize everyone dropped the ball with this last storm as far as the roads go but under what circumstance or rule do they actually treat the roads ahead of time ? Thanks in advance

Don thanks , I actually googled that and looked at it before I posted there is A LOT of info in there. All I want to know is when do they make the call to treat the roads ? Is there a requirement ? Is it a Gut call ? Does a watch or a warning have to go up/ be issued as I can swear the roads by me have been treated without watches or warnings in the past.

I think even if they had pretreated the roads in NYC and surrounding areas the intense rate in which the snowfall came in, it wouldn’t of really mattered. I’ve seen plenty of times where heavy snow at the beginning of an event overcomes the pretreat and the roads get snowcovered, as long as temps are cold (20’s).

The real problem I think was that most of the general public wasn’t thinking that much was coming so most everyone just went to work like they normally do and didn’t take mass transit or their job having them stay home like if a big storm was coming. Combine all that with just horrible timing, busses not having chains on them and NY Sanitation not being ready to start at least spreading when it started to stick to the road and build up, and you have a recipe for disaster and that’s exactly what happened

I wonder if this is a red flag for what will happen later in the season too.
I can remember another season where this kept happening over and over again and the models kept correcting snowier with the night time model runs.................. 1993-94.
If we see this kind of track and high placement  a lot this winter this may end up being like that winter.

You’re right, and that’s my All-Time favorite winter. Imagine this: I was 11, and all of the preceding winters up until then throughout elementary school... no snow days.
