Unreal storm guys, I'm in awe watching here from Wisconsin. I wonder if this will affect my trip into NYC at all New Years, gonna be driving in. Roads will probably be horrific off to the west of the city...

The TROWAL hasn't even setup that much really, though that band is associated with the beginnings of it . That's gonna absolutely destroy someone, maybe even worse than what's being seen now.

You sound like you are having sex not describing snow :popcorn: . I hope you are enjoying it up there it sounds amazing. Even when i got 32 inches last winter with one storm it was not windy like it is by you so i am jealous.

I wish we could have shared this because it really is amazing...... I dont think I've ever seen this kind of snow+wind combo.

People mention February 1978-- but this might be more like March 1888, for here anyway.

I can tell you that Mt. Holly's precip totals are too low in Morris County. I'm in extreme Northeastern Morris county...Pompton Plains to be exact between 23 and 287. About an hour ago I went out and was able to get an uncataminated measurement of 10". That bright yellow band has been over me ever since and it looks as if we got at least another 2-4" since I measured. Our totals look more in line with what Upton is saying. Im quite confused why Mt. Holly would have me in the white 14-16" range and Upton would have the totals 2 miles to my east at 25.5". The gradiant is tight but not that tight. For the record..this is the most intense storm I can remember....and I'm 25.
