19 with light/moderate snow. 3 inches OTG, high ratios 

About a foot more to go you think up here? 

[SI Mailman]

11 inches at 11:45 AM.  1.5 inches in 75 minutes here.

[wxman]

10" with heavy snow. Temp 25.  I think some people are measuring drifts.  Been under brown/orange all morning 100% snow.

Long Hill Twp, NJ reported 16" at 11 AM. Some other ~15" reports near there as well (Near 78/287 intersection)

Yes. I think we get our heaviest snow between 2 and 10pm, something like that.

What are the odds that NYC breaks its all-time snowfall record? 

I highly doubt it. 20” could be doable but not 27.5” which is the record. 

[EasternLI]

Just about 7.5" OTG. Getting crushed. 

[stemwinder]

After hours of sleet, a few flakes are finally appearing here in W Windsor.

well during teh 2006 storm nyc picked up 11 inches of snow in 3 hours

[jm1220]

Wow Long Beach to Captree getting obliterated. 

[brianinhboro]

One thing that is amazing to me is the sharp gradient of this storm.  Here is a pic from Hillsborough, and one from Bordentown.  About 20 miles apart as the crow flies and about a foot or more of difference in snow accumulation.

Yeah it would take a mega band.  Today’s daily total will be top 5-10 for sure too.  Storm total was 5.3 as of 7am and daily total 3.3....since then they’ve had .45, .18 last hour alone.  I would say they have a storm total of around 10.5-11 now and daily total of 8-9

I called for 18” at Central Park.... 

[mikem81]

MEga band approaching western Li/NYC

[NorthShoreWx]

Passed 10" here as of noon.  29.8, S+

[Nick021166]

Flemington NJ. Absolutely dumpingggggggg outside rn. I went to shovel the walks - picked up an inch of new snow in 20 minutes. 12.5” currently. This snow band means serious business. 

[SnowGoose69]

Daily snow record for Central Park today is 9.8 from 1934, that will fall easily 

[RU848789]

This next band is now projectile vomting dendrites in my back yard, lol...going to skip the noon measurement, since I need a shower and am still wet from shoveling and measuring and walking around, lol...

Thoughts and prayers to those in Bordentown, that's heartbreaking

It’s a little hard on the nerves. Hovering around 31 degrees

My temp quickly dropped a full degree, coldest since early this morning at 29.0, was not expecting that. Also about 10" here

[weatherbear5]

As much as I hate to admit it, I think after that band it’s largely done for most of LI until the storm pivots east and we get back into the decaying CCB. That dry slot is encroaching fast

[NJwx85]

Looks like two bands rotating in from the SE. The first runs from SW CT down through Westchester, Rockland and points SW into NJ.

Then an area of subsidence in between.

The second band is about to enter LI and the rest of the coast off the ocean.

Probably easily 1-2" per hour in the Western band and 2-4" per hour in the one coming off the ocean.

There’s no sleet here-all snow. A bit of a lull at the moment but the next band is coming in hot. 

[lee59]

Wind has gone more northerly here and the temp. has dropped to 28.6
