Bluescat1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The people on Staten Island are saying it didn't snow this hard during the 12/26 storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersWx92 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We are absolutely getting thumped. Yeah we really are. Heavy snow continues. The peak rates from this storm have definitely exceeded the peak rates from 12/26 here. I love it when the flakes are actually big and it's coming down heavily as opposed to the 12/26 storm where the flakes were torn apart by the wind. Really beautiful (even though it's nighttime).

ABE SnowObserver Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 4.1 officially at the airport as of 1am reporting time. Still snowing lightly so we will probably add a few more tenths of an inch before all is said and done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like I had the same experience you did on 12/26. One difference in this storm besides the wind is the more numerous bands which are alloiwing more locations to get in on the action. Stlll snowing pretty hard with about 5" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just did a 2nd shoveling. Up to 5.0" as of 1:00 am here in northern Middlesex County, meaning I got 1.0" in the past hour (got 1.5" in the previous hour). However, it looked like I had another half inch on the ground by 1:20 am when I came in and it was really starting to pour down. Hoping I can get to 8-9" - looks like a few more hours of at least 1" per hour rates. Schools closed and work is delayed opening - I'll just work from home, since I don't have any major meetings. Snow is some of the prettiest snow I've ever seen - big flakes, really soft and fluffy. Surprised at people saying it's snowing more heavily than on 12/26, though - it's been heavy, but definitely not as heavy as that night, when I was getting a consistent 2" per hour with bursts of 3" per hour for many hours in a row.

The average person (and even some airport observers, I've noticed) get confused between "big flakes" and "heavy snow", thinking one is synonymous with the other.

Yes_Probably_Maybe_No Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Dumping. 6.9" That looks pretty high. Is that on grass? My board is in a poor position as I have trees and a shed around it, so that may be why I'm reading less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rates here IMBY have definitely exceeded the rates I got from 12/26 because I was on the western fringes of the very heavy band from the 12/26 storm. I'm probably wouldn't say that if I lived in Middlesex or Union counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluescat1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I can't believe it is absolutely pouring snow. This won't go down in the books as a KU storm, but it is going to be known for being a quick thumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Night, all. Snow tapering off, but I could get some light stuff at times overnight. Satisfying storm, as I believe I got at least 5 inches. And the Euro, GFS ENS, and GGEM look better than the GFS for future storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yes_Probably_Maybe_No Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 That looks pretty high. Is that on grass? My board is in a poor position as I have trees and a shed around it, so that may be why I'm reading less. FWIW I've measured 5.7" (Trevose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
