The 420 climate report though has 7.3 which makes no sense...should be about 8-8.2 for today as both LGA and JFK added around 0.5-1.0 from their 1pm total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJW014 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Finished with 15-16" here in Toms River. Looks like IBSP won for highest totals in NJ with 21" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely got very near that amount being right above IBSP. I'm in TR also and have about the same. Tough to measure this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzardo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 You haven't seen a snow drift until you look down a long driveway and see 12-15 feet. I had to plow it.. Boss thought I was joking until he came to see it...lmao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode it out in Central CT with my parents so we can take my son to Mohawk Mountain tomorrow to get him on skis. He is 3 and loving the snow. Great storm and nobody tainted! Downright cold now! will be busy there tomorrow with the "backyard snow effect" (snow at the coast everyone goes) We were there MLK day-good conditions and mostly open now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is already insane. I wanted to go to Ski Sundown to teach my son since I learned there but they sold out on Thursday for Sunday lift tickets. I expect tomorrow to be very busy at Mohawk with this Aspen-like powder. Hopefully my son loves it. We played all day, so I have a feeling he will have a great day. Loved ice skating last weekend!

What a walloping out on LI! Absolutely. And when does that area ever get near jackpot totals? I have no idea what I ended up with really in Long Beach due to all the drifting. I'm estimating 12-13" but it's really a guess. My place in Huntington Station was probably 16". Nice sunset! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who even takes the measurements there now? Did they take it from The Conservancy? They weren’t perfect but certainly a lot better than the zookeeper before them.

EasternLI Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Upon further review (clearing the driveway). I think this was closer to 20" here then 18". Had around 18" in Jan 96. This was more than that, no question. Had 2' in 2015. This was less than that. So 20" seems pretty close to me actually. Never be totally sure of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HVSnowLover Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think ended up with about 10 inches here, never snowed that hard but the ratios really saved it. Congrats to those on LI who got absolutely pounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more so in recent years though for sure. December 2009 still stands at the top of the list for me personally. That was over 2' here. This one was awesome though, no doubt. Following the models trying to figure it out was wild too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would’ve helped NYC and NJ most likely and the upper lows developing better would’ve pushed the heavy snow further west. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
