12" in Garwood, Central Union County NJ by 11:30AM.  Snow almost looked like a little semi melted refrozen flakes mixed in?  Anybody see an additional foot for this area?  Seems the most intense banding has worked inland.

Not far from you and easily have 16-17 inches.  I think 12-16 more will be tough but can see an easy 6-10 more.

Any updates on possible mixing on Long Island (I know it’s guaranteed on east end) what about the rest of the island? 
 

 

Temps are plummeting on the north shore.  I think we are ok at the BL for now. I can’t explain it but I’m not complaining

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

Dropped by a half degree here since noon and another inch of snow.  11" as of 12:30.  The snowflakes are smaller but nicely formed dendrites.  They are filling the air bigtime, kind of a "suffocating snow".  I like the look.

Smithtown NY 12:30PM

National weather service dropped the ball.  This is a full fledged blizzard 

I think this verbiage is too harsh. A winter storm warning for "Heavy snow [...] of 14 to 18 inches" and "Winds gusting as high as 45 mph" conveys pretty much the same messaging as a blizzard warning. The prescribed preparedness checklist is also either very similar or identical. The public had all the resources they needed from the NWS to prepare for a blizzard-like storm.

I think along the same lines however I remember the same criticisms being made for no hurricane warnings for Sandy, granted this system is going to have much less of an impact than Sandy did.
