The loser is me for bitching out about it last night after the HRRR. Shoulda stuck with original call. Very odd storm modeling wise-the models had the correct solution Sunday night give or take then went off the rails. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowlover11 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 going out for a final measurement as its basically done here still light snow but the back edge is literally over my backyard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I'll call it done here too. Flurries and 30.2° 12.7 inches for the final tally, Highland Mills, Orange County NY The Euro should be embarrassed, a lot of other models too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Park should be at or over 4". Don will this storm make it into your table of one of the heaviest snowfalls with temps at or above 33F? I really hope it does. It never got to 32F or below in the park did it? I would love to see if we can make a list of these types of storms for the airports too-- one for JFK and one for LGA (and maybe one for EWR too.)

We always have a bunch of bright red cardinals come out during and after a snowstorm looking for food. They look absolutely exceptional in the snow. the middle one is a peanut feeder and the one on the far right is a screech owl box that a squirrel lives in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from 4.0" at 8:30 am to 5.4" at 11:30 am which is 1/2" per hour vs. the 1.75"/hr I got before 8:30 am and many others in CNJ/NNJ continued to get 1-2"/hr rates. Conservatively, I'm guessing we missed out on at least 2" of snow. Damn. Is coming down good now - could get to 6" if lucky... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modeled BL temps made it quite clear this event would not be accumulating in the concrete jungles of Manhattan. Many areas in the outer boroughs did do okay with this one.

Yeah I do several measurements across the yard and deck. Grass had more than deck oddly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 4 minutes ago, RU848789 said: As of 11:30 am, it's 33F and snowing moderately with 5.4" OTG, so only 0.4" the last hour, as rates just haven't been great, missing out on the best bands for the last 3 hours; we had 4.0" at 8:30 am, so only 1.5" the last 3 hours while the good bands were giving people 1-2" per hour (we got 1.75"/hr before 8:30 am). Oh well. One last band to go through in the next 30 min or so and if we're lucky we'll get to 6", but not sure, although as I'm typing this the snow has gone to almost heavy for the first time in hours, so maybe. how do you account for compaction? I know we've had some melting during the periods of lighter snow with temps at 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and I don't blame them for being skeptical and waiting as long as possible to make changes. You don't just drop forecasts for 8-12 or ramp up amounts on the southern edge which now seem like the models were overdoing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always have a bunch of bright red cardinals come out during and after a snowstorm looking for food. They look absolutely exceptional in the snow.

I know we've had some melting during the periods of lighter snow with temps at 33 you don't, although I did clear the board around 11:00 am (allowed every 6 hours), so the last inch plus will be less compacted. It is important to have the board or whatever measuring spot out of the indirect sunlight, as that will melt the snow a bit at the surface, increasing compaction; my spot is on the north side of my house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see if we can make a list of these types of storms for the airports too-- one for JFK and one for LGA (and maybe one for EWR too.) Those figures are based on the daily minimum temperature. If the temperature stays above freezing through midnight, this storm would almost certainly rank among the highest on the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACRUS Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 SOme heavier snow as the band pushes throuh with a noon or so finish. Should push totals to about 4 / 4.5 here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krs4Lfe Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 5.3" here in Bayside, Queens. Still coming down quite well, should be over in 1 hour, and crack 6" maybe. Temps were just too warm to start off with or this would have been higher impact. Or maybe since it was only from 6 am to 12-1 pm. 7 hours is just too short of a time for significant totals 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
