Poker2015 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 34 minutes ago, RU848789 said: 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. Branchburg at 12"!! Unbelievable!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheManWithNoFace Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 15 minutes ago, Tatamy said: 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. Really nice observation and call. 8 minutes ago, Allsnow said: Unbelievable. This will raise this winter a full letter grade for me. Same. I know it is hyperlocal to me in Hunterdon County, but now I'm over 20" for the season. After last year, and the way things looked headed into January, I will take it and run. Probably a C+ winter but feels like a B+ in context. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Wantage NJ (this part) 1.8" so far at 7A with ongoing light small flake snow. 25F No compacting. Beautiful here too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat5hurricane Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Only about 2" here but it's a pretty snow. Looks like the Central Jersey folks did quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Some photos from this morning. About 2.5" in Larchmont. Although this is not as much as areas to the south, the snow is still beautiful and much treasured on account of its scarcity in recent years. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzLuv Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Wow..slept in today and woke up to a pounding. Measured 10 inches on the car and 8.5 inches on the landscape wall. My wife was up at 5am and said there has been compaction and some melt along the walkway since she got up. Nice surprise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBell Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 47 minutes ago, Tatamy said: Moderate snow currently as the event winds down. 4” storm total. 29/28 About 4 inches here too and 4-5 inches in the Poconos.

Got a nice finishing band moving through for the last little bit, it's snowing moderately again with big fluffy flakes and will likely add another inch.

EastonSN+ Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Great storm and congratulations central Jersey! Last time there was a surprise like this was either March of 90 or 91. Forky called it. "Why do they call it an Alberta Clipper? Alberta clippers take their name from Alberta, the province from which they appear to descend, and from clipper ships of the 19th century, one of the fastest ships of that time."

I'm at the same latitude as they are, 5 miles to the east and nothing on the roads at any point during the storm but it looks really good on the trees, rooftops and driveway and sidewalks.

It's called a clipper due to the speed of the storm not the moisture. There have been blizzards that came from clippers like 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
