Close to 7 inches in Orange County. Is double digits reachable ? 

6.4 here, 26/24 with light snow and n/e winds getting occasional gusts around 20-25. It definitely seems like us here on the east side of the county did well with accumulation.

They failed miserably for the interior. GFS wasn’t too bad but overall in terms of amounts for our area, Canadians won 

Canadian sort of got it right for the wrong reason.  The low didn’t track anywhere near that far west  

[FPizz]

5" even here.  Nice to see a mostly board wide 2-7" or so.

A little over 7 here right now. That band from about 2-4pm did a lot of the work.

Agreed.. that’s why I specifically mentioned for amounts only in this area

[wxman]

4" here looks like that will do it. 23 degrees.

[winterwarlock]

between 3.5 and 4 and its all but over here.....more in line with what I thought then the higher totals mt holly put me, trenton down to philly were overdone and they should have known that at 3pm with how the short term models were putting out 2-4...hrrr was pretty good with this at least for my area which i think did better than some others because of some initial good bandings...had maybe a 2 and half hour period of inch an hour

It got the initial band correct however it had me all rain in coastal CT and have been all snow.

Any Central Park measurements

Won’t be til 1am probbaly but I’d guess it’s between 2-3 

[NorthShoreWx]

Some truck with a big metal blade just went by here pushing snow out of its way.  What was that thing?

[MANDA]

Just flurries now.  Going to go out and give a quick shovel to the porch and take a final measurement on the way back inside.

The usual 700mb fronto/convergence band with high ratios set up inland, so even with maybe less liquid those areas will still do better than down here. There's almost always that far NW band that develops and nails someone. Unfortunately it seemed to cause subsidence SE of it and this storm just isn't that organized with a good transport of Atlantic moisture. We have a nice few hours but a better developed CCB would've been much better for everyone. Last night hinted at it possibly then this AM that hope fell apart. But of course it's better than the washout the Canadian had for 2-3 days.

And this will be the first time in quite a while where cold air will set up shop behind a storm so it'll stick around all week

3 inches here. The band has another 30 left and then light snow so we will get to 4.

You're doing really well --- only about 1/2" here to your east.   Havent had the grass fully covered yet this year - if we get there by the time this ends I'll take it as a win!

Yea longitude was not your friend this time. Models showed the central Suffolk cutoff well 

[North and West]

A nice little storm here! Seems to be wrapping up and I’m guessing upwards of six around MMU. Not certain though. Will clean it off tomorrow. Will be a wintry week going to work.

Enjoy your evening!

It'll be close but I think we make it to 4". Hopefully a couple more moderate bursts and improving ratios. This will definitely stick around-it's going to freeze into a brick.

As of 7:45 pm, we have 2.75" OTG at 30F, for 1"/hr the past hour and it's still heavy snow and is definitely higher ratio snow than earlier, as it's drier and has better formed dendrites, so I think we're going to get to 3.5-4.0" assuming we get another hour or so of decent snowfall.  Just wish we didn't miss so much earlier today and for about 20 minutes about 90 minutes ago when we were in a bit of a snow hole with light to moderate snow when everyone around us had heavy echoes. It happens.  

As of 8:45 pm we have 3.3" OTG at 28F, as temps are starting to drop more quickly. That's about 0.6" the last hour, as intensity wasn't as consistently high. Guessing we have another 20 min of moderate/heavy snow, then maybe another 30 min of light/moderate snow after that, so thinking we'll get to 3.7-3.8". Still a cool storm and we're going to have this snow around for a couple of weeks, which is nice (for me).

I will wait for RU of metuchen to weigh in with a final for the area but it is still snowing a bit in Colonia

Finally hit 32. Have over a bit over 2" and snowing moderately.  Prob end up around or a bit over 3" here.

[Stormlover74]

Still lightly snowing under no returns. Will take final measurement shortly

Approaching about 4" in little ferry, nj

I think eastern Suffolk ends up ok. Alot of snow moving off the ocean for them. Glad you got some as well.
