ForestHillWx Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Happy for those to our south. The brick call north of 78 held that fronto forcing in place. On second glance it looks like 2” here; one final burst coming from our northwest. Everything caked in white and perfect to wake up to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1 hour ago, RU848789 said: As of 4.45 am we just hit 10"! So 1.75" last hour. Must be at least 15.1 ratio snow... looks like another 30-45 min of heavy snow... As of about 5.50 am the snow band finally petered out and I measured 11.0" for a paltry 1" in the last hour - usually i would kill fire that lol. Could still get another inch over the next few hours but the main event is over. Saw 12" retorted in Readington and plenty of 10+" amounts in CNJ and 9.9" in Metuchen at 5 am which is very close to my 10" at 4.45 am. Really feeling like a once in a lifetime event for a surprise localized major storm and especially getting 2"/hr rates for 5+ hours. Very LES like. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKO36 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 9.25" in central Edison. 8" of that fell from the start to 3:30AM which I suppose is about 3 to 3.5 hours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comical Yeah I knew that mix line had to be somewhere close, it's been a very wet snow here all night, nothing accumulated on the roads at all, but it looks really nice on the trees, wires, cartops and rooftops as well as driveways.

I think this is what February 1991 was like but over a somewhat larger area.... look that one up. NYC got 9" in it and 0 snow in Philly and Boston lol, no snow west of Newark here.... near JFK we got close to a foot, and it was all a very wet snow and it snowed for 30 to 36 hours straight, most of what fell during the day didn't accumulate (temps of 33-34) but at night it really went to town with temps in the upper 20s, it was a stalled low on a cold front just SE of the Hamptons and the entire snowfall corridor was from Newark to Long Island. The original forecast was just for some mixed rain and snow showers ending in the morning with the passing cold front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatamy Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2 minutes ago, North and West said: Models are not infallible. . Models did have the band. They were not able to resolve the very high rates and amounts for those under the most intense part of it. FWIW this banding feature was visible on radar out in the Midwest yesterday. I even commented yesterday evening that it looked like most of the snow with the event would occur at those locations in the band and that it would be near I78 as per the models. It looks like the band actually set up just a bit south of I78. Congrats to those who were in the JP zone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 About 2” on the uws, which was exactly my forecast. Curious to see what we got on the south shore. I bet the barrier islands were the winners with close to 6”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
