they checked in multiple locations, each which already had 1-2" left over from this weekend ;)

First let me state this. I took a picture of 2 crates with a snowboard set ontop of the crates. I have an official Snow board in Effect. I just measured 4.5 inches on that snowboard.

Really amazing how tight the precip shield is with the low not really that far off the NJ coast. I'm really praying that back edge slows or stalls for another hour or two or the PHL area is definitely done by 1 am.

The NAM and GFS pretty much say as much.

35 dbz south-central Mont. Co. a little further north here, its easily 1/4 S+ right now.

I was right under them, even a few 40 dbz pixels. It bumped me up to 4.0" finally (as of 11:20pm).

Don't forget to subtract out the grass if you aren't measuring on a board...

And previous leftover snow.

Total snow so far today 4.3"

Still steady snow but back edge is approaching

Temp 24.9

Barom 29.81"f

So your at 4.3 right? I am at 4.5 right now, so basically are you saying i am wrong? We are pretty close. I am not trying to start any fights or arguements ok. Just wanting to clear the air.

That's basically the same thing lol. Come on, two mets can measure a 4 inch snowfall and get anywhere between 3.5 and 4.5 inches and it's a good measurement.

no that finger of heavy precip that was on the NMM actually occured at the beginnning of the storm not at its middle or end

Nice catch. I thought that would have been a band that set up late in the storm ... but it did have a weird west-east orientation to it. Recalling what the radar looked like this afternoon, that's what we were seeing.
