I am over by 29th and Ditmars. Where my car is parked, left hand side of the street, there is virtually no snow around it, and very little snow on it. The right hand side cars are buried deep. I can't even get an accurate snow depth measurement due to all the blowing and drifting snow. Go to be at least 10".

 

That's probably a good guess. Yeah pretty much all the cars have had the snow blown off of them except for one side.

Kinda reminds me of rime ice build up on arctic trees.

I live in an apt complex in queens with a few buildings creating tunnels and between them all is a tennis and basketball court. The courts are completely clear and snow is stacked up against the wall surrounding it in parts about 3 feet high lol

Yeah he's a well known weather enthusiast.  (Edit: and from NJ.) It would not shock me if he's on this board.  Mike c'mon say hello!

Wow, nice! That's more than double what I have. Must be some downsloping off the highlands? 8" is pretty significant snow. Nothing like that around here.

We never really got into the subsidence areas I'm just far enough east to avoid it and I saw them 10 miles to my west and north on radar. The last three hours were actually the best I observed has really tapered off now though. Probably will finish with not much added to the 8, I can't complain.

I don't see how we get there, really. Is it doing much by you ? It's really anemic here in Woodbridge. Visibility is good. Just went to Shop Rite. People are out shopping. Gotta be careful but not really a big deal here. Great for the snow plow contractors. Haven't seen a municipal plow yet today.

The snowfall rates have picked up a bit here again. Low end moderate I'd say here right now. The back edge isn't too far away though. Maybe we pick up another half inch? Ending up between 7 and 8 looks reasonable but of course it varies a little from town to town. Some in Middlesex county will be closer to 6 while some get 7 to 8.

anyone have an update for Middlesex County NJ? A friend says around 6 in Piscataway.  Too cold for me to go back out. ENjoying hot french toast and coffee. Call it brunch.

It's picking up a little bit here again as we get closer to the back edge. I think most amounts in Middlesex County will be between 6 and 8. I have a little over 7 here.

Thanks for the update. I'll say it's about the same over here in Woodbridge. It is snowing a little steadier now but again not the kind of snow to add more than an inch or two. 8 would be an achievement.
