Don, I think that was the storm with the heavy snow just south of the city, what did Central Park get in that storm?

And if this is real, that would be a major bust since we've only had a dusting so far...

It's been trending worse if anything. At this point it is what it is. Hopefully it'll be wrong.

[etudiant]

Still a goose egg here in Manhattan.

If we're going to get the advertised 3"+, there'd better be serious banding.

[bwt3650]

Closing in on 3” and moderate snow in western jersey…just under an inch an hour since the dry slot filled in.

Looks like barely anything in Philly, don't think that bodes well for us but we'll see.

For the I-95 corridor, the forecast does remain on track with a 
wintry mix coming down. Temperatures remain just a tad above 
freezing at the moment, but have been steadily declining through the 
afternoon. Some heavier pockets of precip are just beginning to 
filter into the region from southwest to northeast. As the sun sets 
and our coastal low continues to strengthen, we are forecasting 
temperatures to fall over the next few hours to allow for a 
changeover to all snow late this afternoon and into the evening. 
Snowfall amounts in this area have decreased slightly, but largely 
remain on track with a general 3-6 inches by the time snow ends 
later tonight.

[Allsnow]

[ForestHillWx]

I must be under the best part of the storm based on these posts. Absolutely ripping in Chester.

WTF is Mt. Holly doing? Who would issue a map starting 3 hours for now at 7 pm?

That goes by the next synoptic time which now is 00z/7PM. Here is the one that is the total from 1 PM. 
 

 

[SACRUS]

33/31 mix of snow, and some rain 90/10 and picking up - should goto all snow soon (here CNJ)

Hasn't let up for hours.  Our sidewalks were cleared and treated and they are covered up already after an hour.  Im going to find a ruler to attempt measurements.

I don’t work for the NWS, so I’m not sure what to tell ya. 
 

Snowing here and roads are covered 

[MANDA]

Per friend in Pittstown, NJ Hunterdon County.  Heavy snow now.   He has just under 3" currently.

Going out to take measurement here.  Be back in a few.

Thanks, Mike, but you guys have to fix this ASAP as the winter weather page shouldn't show that map and the advisory for Middlesex now says 1-3" of "additional" snow when we haven't gotten any yet.  1-3" of additional snow certainly doesn't get us to an event total of 4-6" in the graphic above or the original 3-5" WWA wording.  It's all very confusing and I still don't know what the forecast is.

There is nothing to fix. Read the times on the map. The storm total is on our winter page with winter weather headlines posted. The “additional snow” is in the text products when the forecaster chooses to do that especially when how much snow fell so far in areas is unknown (I tend not to agree with this as the storm total should still be included). Also, always check your local Point and Click forecast for the most updated amounts. 

[MANDA]

Moderate snow.  Small flakes.  26 degrees.  Total 3.5”.

um nobody looks at things like that...certainly not the public..extremely confusing to put a map like that up...and considering the 4-6 looks to bust anyhow for hillsborough, trenton and philly..philly getting 4-6..wow

Send the feedback to my office. Bitching about it on here won’t do a damn thing!
