Lincroft, NJ (Monmouth County), taken at 5:00 pm with ~8 inches.

I think we're close to 6" now although it's very tough to measure accurately due to all the wind. VERY heavy snow once again, but the flakes are smaller than before, so we're losing some of the great ratios we had earlier. Looks like one hellacious band developing just east and south of here with orange echos now on Upton radar.

Just saw the report. 4.0" in Long Beach as of 2 hours ago, so 6" now might not be far off.

2 inches in Nanuet.... I think. Difficult to measure... SN+

Yeah it is just pouring snow here.

[Wxnyc]

JFK 2.5 inches.... nice... I can already see we are going to have problems with this storm (especially with them measuring from atop a roof lol). Shades of 14" in Feb 1978.....

5 inches plus and counting.....

What I don't get is that on the 4pm obs it said heavy snow snow increasing rapidly and total 4 inches by 5pm there is no mention of snow amounts and they report 2.5 ???

Hopefully that band pivots through soon, looks like it has 1 inch plus hourly snowfall rates!

[Chris L]

Heavy snow currently.... Outstanding.

[Rtd208]

Moderate to heavy snow, estimated accumulation of 5"

[blazess556]

Absolute whiteout with heavy snow and high winds. so impressive.

[loadletterpaper]

Rocky Point - 4.5". Little surprised considering how quiet the precip's been the last couple of hours. Looks to be picking up again. Radar improving.

[Wxnyc]

What with that thin n to s band moving westward into long beach Freeport anybody out there whats happening under that band?

[Amped]

Everyone Gusting over 35mph.

Blizzard Verify

[NorEaster27]

6 inches southern queens

[Isotherm]

Yeah I measured 5.5" a little over an hour ago but I don't doubt that 8"+ at all for us. We've been snowing at 2-3"/hr rates. Will check after dinner.

25.2F with strong winds. Man this is good.

[Chris L]

Heavy Snow.... about 4"+ now. Though I didn't take a formal measurement yet.

[Snowshack]

Rocky Point - 4.5". Little surprised considering how quiet the precip's been the last couple of hours. Looks to be picking up again. Radar improving.

About 5 miles east of you...moderate wind driven sleet right now. Only about 3" of snow..

[Dsnowx53]

Whiteout conditions here in Rockville Centre! Insanity!

[Chris L]

Wait until later around say 9:30 PM, should be absolutely insane.

[Saloo Kaloo]

Whiteout in Middletown NJ

[LocoAko]

Huge gust of wind here, near or at whiteout conditions. Everything is just horizontal and my windows were rattling.

[A-L-E-X]

Whiteout conditions here in Rockville Centre! Insanity!

Its here! ZERO VISIBILITY!

[SnowDemon]

I just got in from shoveling a bit. I can't remember the last time I've been a storm so bad. The wind is insane.

[earthlight]

Blizzard conditions for 35 minutes straight now. This is UNBELIEVABLE.

[RutgersWx92]

Moderate snow here; about 4.25 inches so far. The wind is really starting to pick up.

[hohnywx]

Just went out to shovel and measure...3.5" on my snowboard so far. Very windy...what a great storm!

[Stormlover74]

It would be helpful if people who don't have their locations in their signatures would post where they are when reporting. It doesn't help if you say its pouring snow and we don't even know what state you're in

[Matt Hammer]

East Setauket, NY

Winds sustained over 30mph, gusting to near 50, 46mph reported highest gust for my area...

Going out shortly for another measurement...last check was just over 4" about an hour ago.
