Still think we get 20" JM?

Hard to say. I'm certain we exceed 12", probably significantly so, but it will be so hard to measure due to the wind and taking into account roof blowoff. All the snow over northern NJ will pivot through here eventually, probably in a reduced state but we're still in this for maybe another 9 hours plus. If I was to guesstimate a number I'd say 16", maybe 18" if we're lucky. Without a doubt though, Earthlight-land will get over 20".

They upped our projected totals again-- not that this matters at this stage,

Im like 90% certain none of the airports or the city will get 20" because they measure it from a damn rooftop lol. Well, EWR might.....

This is the hardest snow I have ever seen...wind makes it so much worse. We just had decorations fly off our house.

Fortunately we don't have decorations.

As far as obs, totally impossible to determine accumulation, too much wind, but guessing 10-12". Snow and wind link the end of the world.

Nice, 13" here, with more banding commin in, there's an ambulance stuck on my street forthe past hour, can get any one to pull it out, no patiant inside.

ha ha Yeah I just watched my neighbor across the street trying to get down the street and into his driveway. Took him like 20 minutes to go 50 feet. The snow was up to the hood of this car! ha ha ha Not one plow all night on my street.

I just measured approximately 10" here but now I'm seeing the area airports seem lower than that. I tried my best to measure and I think that is representative but perhaps it is a bit high?

The airports have a huge amount of problems measuring in high winds-- because they measure on top of roofs lol.

NYC recorded .24 qpf in the past hour!

Point being, I would trust you over them!

gotta remember all the snow blowing off roofs. Also airports never seem to stack up to spotter reports
