Warren reported 6 and Freehold 4.8

I’m eye balling around 3 if that. I’m not impressed in my backyard. Lost a lot to late start and, of course, a period of subsidence. Freehold beat me again. And it’s south of us. Well it’s something but I hope we have some better shots.

As of 9:45 pm we had 3.5" OTG as intensity lessened more quickly than expected. I then shoveled, which wasn't too bad since I had shoveled the slushy bottom layer earlier and near the end of shoveling we got a bonus extended snow shower, picking up another 0.1" for a final total of 3.6". A trained spotter in Metuchen reported the same 3.5" as me at 9:38 pm and I saw a report of 3.5" in SI a few miles away. A little disappointing vs. the 4-6" NWS forecast early this morning (and my 5.1" prediction yesterday), but still a fun storm and everything looks great. Season total is up to 10.4", which is close to normal for this point in the winter.

Thanks for the updates and I wonder if it’s a little compressed already. Will wait til morning to clean up.

Snow just wrapped up here in Bayside, Queens. Just some flurries now. Just around 4” on the dot. Looks like it was 2-4” citywide, probably lost 1-2” inches when there was light rain and sleet all afternoon. Snow didn’t really start until 445 or so. 5 hour storm, few more hours and we would have had solid 3-6” across the city 

3.6 at LaGuardia Airport

Will add some CoCoRaHs maps at 10A for snowfall.  Canadian-RGEM too robust-amped and tucked in I95 west though that's where the heaviest occurred.  EC AI was helpful.  I want to check melted w.e. at 10A as well.  This also takes a chunk of confidence away from the dry EPS weeklies- here is what was available to us at initial thread time on the 11th...pretty depressing EPS dry swath ne USA for the 13th-20th.  Just tells me the that guidance beyond 5 days is shaky on qpf.  Fortunate to get this one more or less right at D8.   Impact up here for most of the NYC subforum I think was generally moderate for a few hours... briefly high where it snowed at 1+/hr and temps were falling below freezing at sunset Sunday.  I did check flightaware and google maps for flight cancels and roads in and around NYC.  More at 10AMimage.thumb.png.ed83f721faee4a82ac2ffde929feb759.png

I "think" the NWS was pretty accurate with this one.  There were a lot of varying forecasts from other entities, but none too far off the mark.  Even though my backyard (Garwood NJ - central Union county) received 3.5", I was a little disappointed.  I was hoping for a little bit of an overperformer.  But with the subsidence at the exact time the heavier stuff was supposed to fall, I knew it was not to be.  Even though the radar showed the "screw" zone, I was pessimistically optimistic that it would quickly fill in as some had mentioned.  At least it's cold, and my fire is still burning from last night...

They did good for sure. I barely broke 3” in south central LI

at least we’ll have snow pack for the week 

 

what screwed us was it was wet snow not accumulating at first

1.6 central park complete bust..

Measuring bust you mean.  LGA was 3.6" and I saw social media reports of 3+" in Manhattan.  I get JFK being a bit low (2.2") right on the water, but CPK/LGA are at the same latitude and while the UHI is real, I just find it hard to believe it's that much stronger in CPK than LGA.

Or the more obvious they just F'd up the measurement as always.

Where do they measure the snow ? Over the manholes ? They are always low with snow amounts. 

How about measuring in Central Park.
