My favorite storm ever. Still absolutely pouring. Blizzard conditions going on two hours straight.

x2

Currently in coastal nj (ocean county), and we have been getting slammed. This is by far the greatest winter storm I have ever experienced in this area. This is what a true Blizzard feels like.

Really amazing that just a few days ago, this was looking like an out to sea storm for everyone. There is some truth to Christmas miracles, even if they come a day late.

This is one for the books, and one that many, including myself, will never forget.

Enjoy the snow guys! :snowman:

NE Queens is shaft zone central right now

Certain areas to the S & W of Philly didn't exactly get their precip projections. NW DE, Chesco, Delco, etc were forecast to get anywhere from 8-16" and have had maybe 1-2" so far. Baltimore and DC were under warnings that totally failed to materialize and were downgraded.

its pretty annoying how they keep on changing there numbers every 30 minutes... i think they've changed that map like 5 times since 2pm.. went from 12-18 to 15-20 to 20-26 now 15-20 again

Um Upton just put out a new snow map and put Manhattan at 24.3 not sure how that's going to work out while they lowered it to 10-16 overnight..

Yeah this will be well short of historic for our area. Even last year I didn't see any numbers close to '96, despite what the official PHL measurements say. The gradients were extreme. Did DC-Baltimore beat their records?

Is this the heaviest Kocin event ever during a strong/moderate La Niña?

LGA, EWR, JFK are all around 6-8 inches

Probably not going to be very accurate with that rooftop measuring technique that Will told us they use lol. Feb 1978 amt of 14" seems to be wildly off, as well as some of the events from the past 2-3 seasons, including one where JFK measured 0.8 inches and we had snow plows out here with like 4 inches of snow (and Im 5 miles from there) and the windy 3/09 storm where there many reports of 10-12 inches in this area. It's ok though, doesnt take much away from the magnificence of this storm :thumbsup:
