Wantage NJ (this part): 940AM report 27" will get you an SD by 1130A. S- continues to accumulate. 30F. 10A/2 

This is steady snow... not snow showers. The continued accumulation only increases roof and branch snow load. 

Yes. Picked up another 1" since sunrise. 28" storm total so far. Steady light snow/ blowing snow 30°

I don't know what to do with the measurement for this one. If I had a decent place to measure every 6 hours, the wind was insane, I probably would have had near 30" total. As it is my property goes from 2" > 40" with the median at 23" (at 7am). Since about 7pm it has been a mix of heavy wet snow, crystals, grains, freezing mist and nearly sunny so the compaction is impressive and its down to about 15" now. Total shoveling time (so far) is just under 10 hours, driveway banks are well over my head which is always cool, just waiting for the town plow to fill in the end of the driveway again when they come to move the banks back :yikes:

Catching up now:  CoCoRAHS snow amounts  etc.  Meanwhile...interesting here in Wantage NJ.  My snowfall through 930A was 27", but my SD ~18... and looks blue in the footsteps. Plenty of water content. At least 2-3" via attached.

NOHRSC analyzed snowfall,  CocoRAHS water equiv and CoCoRAHS snowfall follow.

Walt-

 

Noticed the same "blue tinge" here as well.  Any idea what causes that?  I've noticed it in other deep snows of the past?

Still snowing lightly in Whitestone, ended up with around 14" and a mountain of snow to dig out around my car.

I thought the models did very well nailing down the snow distribution. Most were targeting North Central Jersey and Eastern PA with the highest totals for days outside of the Nam which had a NYC/L.I. jackpot for a time on Saturday I believe.

Yes overall a very good performance. And recognizing the setup beforehand made it clear the jackpot would be in N NJ and S NY but other places could still do very well.

Got another 1/2" since midnight to bring me to 17.0", but I see many others who saw 1-2" not far away; 32F right now in Metuchen and snowing lightly.  Does anyone have the radar loop for overnight - I used to use the RU weather site, but it seems to be dead right now.  Thanks.

That last band of moderate to heavy snow delivered a 1/2" of snow, so we're up to 17.5" for the storm.
