30.3” as of 9:45pm, Sparta, NW NJ w/ ~2” in last 2.5 hrs. This is my last measurement for the night. It’s possible last couple of measurements have been impacted by wind as they picked up about  3-4 hours ago but still generally under 15 with occasional gusts 20-25. OTG snow depth at this point is remaining steady at about 25”. Snow over the last few hours has had less fluff factor and a bit more dense thus seems to be enhancing compaction.

Could this storm break the New Jersey state record for the largest snowstorm? If memory serves me right I believe it was 34 inches at Cape May in 1899, is it possible that Morris or Sussex may break this?

Weren't there some 40" totals in the 96 Blizzard??

34 inches is the record. I think someone definitely has a shot to break it out in NW NJ

Snow and sleet still in NW suffolk, 31*

Looks like this might be the last band off the ocean for a bit, but it's been snowing nicely for the past half hour.  Next up is probably freezing drizzle or plain old drizzle for a while overnight.  Hopefully a little pack freshener after that.

Temp up to 31.4 at 10:35 pm with S-

COOL FACT...

NYC began recording weather data in 1868. So in the first 128 years of recording weather data, NYC currently only has 2 storms on the top 10 list of all-time greatest snowstorms for NYC... 1888 & 1947 respectively. That's from 1868 to 1995.

Since then, the last 25 years (1996 to 2021), NYC has 8 of the top 10 greatest storms!!! That is simply amazing!

First 128 years..... 2 top 10 storms.

Last 25 years...... 8 top 10 storms.

 

Thought you guys would like this.

NOTE: I wrote this before I found out NBC tweeted the wrong 18.3" Central Park measurement, that is was actually 16.3". But if CP can get 2.0 inches over the next day, then this post applies.

Impressive global warming I think Contribute to this.  Warmer ocean more moisture and energy for storm development.

This is exactly why in my opinion as well. But with todays political climate, someone can get mad at you for just saying that. Which to me is ignorant of facts. Those numbers are spectacularly lopsided when looked at in a mathematical sense.

Hooray and send pics. We never should have gotten so segregated. Mi** Forky  and Ray up in northeast and Raleigh all had Great stuff to contribute to a Bos or NYC or DC event.’Welcome in my threads anytime you are.

we did Ok with 3-4 in WAA and 1 in coastal so we didn’t wake up to partly  cloudy which is how Miller Bs frequently turn out for us.
