Liquid equivalents

1.23 to 17.7 at Newark

0.64 to 10.4 at JFK

0.75 to 10.2 at LGA

1.09 to 12.0 at NYC

0.81 to 11.3 at Islip

Thanks, man-- you're great! Ok, now I have a question-- how is liquid measured in a snowstorm with wind like this? Is the liquid amt measured independently of the snowfall measurement (that is, a different sample) and is the liquid measurement completely automated?

I'm in a lighter band, but it's still snowing just as hard.

Think we're transforming from FGEN mand to Norlun toff. The 1947 storm did this and it occured on the same day coincidently.

I also think some of the snow from NE NJ will blow off the ground into NYC.

These are older totals right, because I think you said the updated totals are JFK-11 LGA-11 NYC-13 EWR-20 if I remember right.

Yea I know Toms River has basically been sittin in deform bands almost as long as some parts of NE NJ, and the snow reports from there match that. I think they have a shot at 30" also

Toms River got in on every storm last winter and they got in on this one too-- its probably been the snowiest coastal location in our area for the past two winters lol.

here in hunterdon co, nj, i am in between 2 effing major bands. east and west. wtf!!! sucker hole hell!!!

I see that wont that heavier Band to the West Pivot through before pulling out ? If U and Me will get another couple hrs of decent snow before it pulls away.. I have had light snow here in Somerset County While Union and Middlesex County have reaped the rewards all night..

if they didnt measure often, how much snow you think blew off the top layer that may lower the overall snow totals?

It really shouldn't have any affect since procedure is to let it build up on the board for 6 hours, then clear it. Assuming they followed standard procedure, their measurements were proper.

Now the SITING of their measurements is possibly another story altogether, but Alex and Tony Gigi know much more about that than I.

Something is up with either the liquid equivalent or snowfall at Central Park.

Islip has seen a 14:1 ratio so far, and they are much closer to the warmer air at the surface and aloft. JFK had a 16:1 ratio, and LGA a 13.6 to 1 ratio.

.RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM LIQUID EQUIVALENT SET AT ISLIP NY...

A RECORD RAINFALL OF 0.81 INCHES WAS SET AT ISLIP NY YESTERDAY.

THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 0.79 SET IN 2009.

...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM SNOWFALL SET AT ISLIP NY...

A RECORD SNOWFALL OF 11.3 INCHES WAS SET AT ISLIP NY YESTERDAY.

THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 1 SET IN 2004.

Do you know how liquid equivalents are measured in storms like this? Is it indendent of the manual snowfall measurement? Is it automated?
