cut Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 18.0 inches as of 7:00 A.M. had to take a LOT of measurements over a large area...hard to tell with the previous snowpack, but I nailed it down. also coordinates with the local Danbury spotter reports that generally average a bit higher than actual. (17.9 at 555am) About same in Trumbull. Out the window with PJs on though (the easy way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT5ANDREW Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 <br />LGA has been getting screwed or so it seems alot the last 2 years or so, they legitimately did in the 12/20/09 event as did many parts of north Queens but I'm not buying it lately...Rego Park doesnt report often but that report seems very good whenever it does appear in there and they have 8.9....if you fly direct to LGA from there its 3 miles at most.<br /><br /><br /><br />Yep.9 inches here.I dont know why people are complaining.This was a Fantastic storm,especially in a Strong NINA.It was not the blizzard,but how many storms are? If this was between 1983-1993,everyone here would be celebrating like its VJ day.But now expectations have changed.This was a beautiful storm.No complaints.

uncle W Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I got about 8" here...This storm reminds me of the February 12, 1975 snowstorm which was 7.8"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weathergun Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 About 7.0" here in Woodside. That's an average of several measurements between 6"-8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Hammer Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Going to sleep. No more energy left. Just posted a brief brief brief morning update. Still snowing here. Will end throughout the morning. Will measure when I wake up in a little while. Last check had about a foot of snow but that was a couple of hours ago. Time to wait for the next one!!

jconsor Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The low appears to be going between Block Island and Martha's Vineyard. Lowest pressure at 12z is at Block Island - 29.10" (985 mb). Winds are NE at Block Island and SSW at Martha's Vineyard.

jconsor Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I think somewhere in the triangle between Port Jefferson, Mattituck and Riverhead will be the jackpot on LI. I took a nap for about 90 minutes..I have not been outside...but from looking...the snow is now deeper than it has ever been here in the 16 years I've lived here...continues to snow hard.

Quincy Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 albany upped there forecast to 30" for litchfield county well, multiple reports of 18-22" so far in northern Fairfield County and with the band of heavy snow still stalled over western CT, someone could get 30"...

Mr Torchey Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 17.25" as of a few minutes ago. s+ band is going nowhere. Has sat over westport/fairfield for hours dumping 1-3 inches an hour. No idea where we are going to put all of this snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard your forecast has been upped to 30"! This might not be a good storm to bring up, but this is like a mini March 1888 kind of storm up there.

Jefflaw77 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 About 12-13" in Dix Hills, NY.. Snow beginning to come to an end.. Overall, I think the models outlined the heavier bands quite well.. CT and Eastern LI are getting crushed.. NYC had a very good snowstorm.. 9" isn't anything to sneeze about and well, this is what was predicted.. Wish there was some blocking to our north.. This would have resulted in a crushing snowstorm for all of us.. At the end of the day, it appears that we have received more snow here than the blizzard on the 26th.. This is also fluffier snow.. and just looks much prettier.. The snow we got here in the blizzard was like sand.. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 looks like the heavy band is finally starting to lift away, may not be affecting Danbury for much longer. the axis of the most intense snowfall has shifted east, basically right along Route 8.

NorEaster27 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 No comments on the clear skies? I'm sure you were surprised too lol. just good subsidence behind the storm, with it being so intense and compact that effect is compounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Puppet Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Haven't gone out to measure yet but looks beautiful out there. Woke up to a gorgeous red sun . My only wish is that it would have lasted longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
