the worst it has been all day here in Western Suffolk..pretty unreal outside..heavy snow and winds gusting over 55..I would care to say there is close to a foot.

[Isotherm]

This band does not want to let up! If these rates keep up for at least a couple more hours we'll probably eclipse the 24" mark.

[A-L-E-X]

Have you measured recently?

I measured close to 12" a little while ago.

on ABC they were showing an area of 2" / hr rates from eastern NJ extending to western LI and they said we should be in that band through 4 AM!

[A-L-E-X]

has to be more- I shoveled a solid 4" at 430 and came home and shoveled at least 12" maybe more

Its hard to measure because of these howling winds. I can tell you one thing though-- this is more snow than we have gotten in any of the storms last season! Easily! With many more inches to go lol

[Amped]

JFX LGA and EWR will still be open before Heathrow

[Dsnowx53]

Ace, you might be right. I haven't done the "snowboard" method, but perhaps if I did, I would have gotten more. I measured about a foot in my side yard 20 minutes ago, so we've probably just passed a foot by the old fashioned measuring technique. You and ALEX probably should be a tad ahead of me since you guys are 5 miles west of me.

[A-L-E-X]

JFX LGA and EWR will still be open before Heathrow

Heathrow and Paris shut down with 4-5 inches of snow..... that's kind of funny. We dont even get a snow day with that much snow

[NorthNJwx]

I'm amazed at this band that continues to move W through my area...when the earlier band started to shift E, I never expected another!

Winds picking up here again after an odd lull of a couple hours. Snow continues heavily with probably close to 18" on the ground...will measure at midnight.

Verona, NJ

- I took measurements in the park. On average, about 14.5" - 2-4' drifts. The wind is unbearable... It's incredibly difficult simply trying to walk no more then a few hundred yards decked out in winter gear! Mesoscale banding enveloping the area for a solid 5 hours already... How long will it last?

[Sampson]

anyone think nyc (central park) tops 20.9"(2/26/10 total) I didn't think it would happen earlier but I'm starting to have second thoughts. there's probably about 16" right now.

if the low is that c90 degree hook S of LI it is not moving anywhere. It seems to have fractured from the main front and left to dry out.

[Sock Puppet]

Radar seems to be drying up a bit over Brooklyn but still coming down pretty heavy. We need some banding to develop

What's going on with the radar in SNE?

Looks like SNY/NYC/NJ is stealing the show with this one.

A Dry Slot.

Most models said there would be a bullseye over NYC . I 'don't know why some TV mets didn't show a bulleye over NYC.

Looks to have been about 15miles NW,

I am 44 years old.I remember all of the great blizzards FEB 1978,FEB 1983,JAN 1996,JAN 2005,FEB 2006 and the retrosnowcane of FEB 2010.I can honestly say with no exception that the conditions I experienced up until I came in 15 minutes ago were the most intense I have ever experienced.Whiteout conditions with winds of over 60MPH were just brutal.I have not seen drifting or piling like this since the JAN 1996 storm.This is a true blizzard.It was dangerous to walk far from home tonight.Others may and will disagree with me.thats OK.I cant speak for anyone else but me.This storm is a TRUE White Hurricane.

[Sn0waddict]

Some of the heaviest snow of the night here.

Andrew..you would not believe the winds on the Island..unreal storm

[CAT5ANDREW]

Keith,at times,it has been like a snow macroburst!! I am amazed at these winds,not only the gusts but the sustained.

I'd say it comes close to February 10th in Maryland. If I was in Mahwah with my cousins I'd probably would say it's worse.

[Sn0waddict]

Heavy band of snow pivoting right on me. Probably the best of the night.

[WeatherFox]

18" at Newark International Airport

10" at New York LaGuardia

Mesoscale banding makes the difference.

heard on 1010 News

[tmagan]

Still, a nearly seven degree difference between KFRG and KISP.

[KenL]

19.5 in Clifton, nj about 10 min. ago. from 10 measurements. 1 mi. NW Dellawanna train station. Cablevision out since 9:30. What a storm!

[monmouthcounty11]

I honestly believe there will be amounts as high as 28-30 inches and maybe even more in Monmouth County, this band is just dumping more and more snow onto a ton of snow. It is still snowing heavily and very windy in Lincroft, NJ.

yeah even with all those storms we had last winter down here, this storm will still manage to top all of them. Truly amazing.

[Saloo Kaloo]

21.5" in Middletown NJ. What a storm most snow since blizzard of 1996.

[forkyfork]

somewhere in the teens or 20's

that's all i can say

[patrick05]

we're now down to 23F in KISP... we were about 27F an hour ago...

[jm1220]

ROARING wind outside almost like we saw last March during that noreaster. We have to be pushing 60 mph in some of these gusts.
