Interior NW & NE Burbs 2022

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

12° here steady moderate to borderline heavy snow.

3.5 inches as of 4:45. will try to get back to sleep now. Not sure how that's gonna work out. Was predicting 8 and I may get there, at least I hope.

[snywx]

2.4”  

snowing

[crossbowftw3]

Need more light but I look to be in the 2-3” range as of now. Not terrible, could get close to 4” before drier air starts winning out. Sounds like it’s absolutely ripping on the coastlines though 

[Njweathered]

4” on my hill in Vernon NJ.

Its hysterical…if some of us “way up northwest” were posting how some in suffolk are now, it would cause a riot and claims of “you guys dont count you arent in the metro”. Sigh.

I’m not from there, but I don’t get why some people on Long Island don’t think the NJ suburbs count as the metro area.

Maybe 3-5” so far at MMU, but the wind has been howling. Lots of drifting for the moderate amount of snow we’ve gotten.

Yeah we’ve had a few decent gusts, more than i was expecting tbh. Just a few inches so far, but i have a 1’ drift at my front door where the wind funnels.

Fun to see, right?

I like this kind of storm - snow swirling and wind howling, but not a stupid amount. And I can say that after having three big storms in the past five or so years in my neck of the woods, so I’ve been spoiled enough.

[crossbowftw3]

Still snowing at a somewhat appreciable clip, but there’s no way this keeps up for too much longer

So you can easily post here that you have a foot of snow

[LaGrangewx]

Snowing steadily eyeballing maybe 2” or so it looks like but I haven’t went out to measure. Definitely some drifts in the driveway and some strong gusts.

Rockland County is basically the Midwest.

It’s easy to see that geography isn’t a strong suit for some as they use minutes away instead of miles.  Then there are those that use road miles away rather than as the crow flys.  Riverhead is about 15 or so miles further away from Central Park than I am to @BxEngines point.

Yeah im closer to central park than a lot of nassau cty.

I think what’s interesting about our perspectives is that two of my favorite recent storms - December 30, 2000 and March 6, 2018 - don’t mean much to people in our eastern region, while they loved that early January 2018 storm, February 2013, and probably this one, because of how it performed.

It’s definitely our recency/personal bias at play that if it didn’t impact you (or really, the city), it didn’t happen.

December 30, 2000 is definitely one of my favorites!

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

I measured 5 inches about an hour ago. Gonna go snow blow now so I'll get a better handle on it and measure several different spots.

Just checking, but I include what I already had on the ground so we can at least compete with the LI folks?

[crossbowftw3]

Yes 

 

Still coming down light-moderate with a new coating since I first went outside to clear an hour ago. Assuming another 3 hours of this 3” isn’t out of the question

And to add to that anything from Orange County and Putnam County north they pretty much view as Canada.

I'm pretty sure Denali is located in the Catskills.

[Juliancolton]

I'll attempt an averaged measurement in a bit but it can't be more than 2". Bitterly cold at 5F

Is that the Himalayas I see from my house in Sullivan? Lol

My dog is obsessed with snow and she even refuses to go outside. One of our colder/windier storms in awhile.

We’s just a bunch of hillbillies anyway 

 

[crossbowftw3]

Dry air is definitely eating into the returns here now as the bands begin to line up to smack Boston with subsequent (slow) de-escalation of the snow intensity here

3 feet here without drifting on my Irishrob approved snowboard.

I’m not a jackpot guy but the fact that its so cold is a bit of a bummer because I’d have days of drifting here with more fresh snow. 1.9” on the board, in the old days it would be boarderline plowable as 2” was the threshold until the rules changed after the Martin Luther King 94 storm debacle.

Hey @wdrag We are missing your wisdom. I hope all is well with you.

Nothing to add. Plenty of excellent info posters - model guidance shared among all.  Just no time in my life. i started posting near the time of Covid furlough.  That ended 10 months ago and this just takes too much time away from family etc.  Excellent forum--- excellent contributions from all.  Hope everyone is pretty aware how good the Canadian models were against everything, how woeful the GFS til 00z/28.  Always need the Canadian on board for decent snow. EC wasn't too shabby either, with equally fortuitous prediction aka the GGEM. Have a day.
