It always seems to happen here first, before NJ and NYC, even though we're closer to the storm in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drz1111 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Between 8 and 11" here in uptown Manhattan, so I'll call it 9.5". Very nice. Asthetically pleasing, too: stuck to the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks beautiful, but I didn't expect a brilliant blue sky at 7 am lol. Wow...that's some sharp drying. We are still getting raked here. Visibility is an eighth of a mile...if its that much. Looks like almost 19" on the snow stake (4" was already there before the storm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 I noticed this. The difference is that after the post Christmas blizzard, the snow surface was littered with branches, leaves and whatever else blew out of the trees. This snow cover is white.

Alpha5 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hard to measure with the 7" on the ground prior to the storm. Goes into the books as 14.5" here Not a bad storm, and 14.5 in basically a 8 hour period is not bad at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw William's mailbox pic and you should have about the same-- at this rate you might get to 2 feet before it ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asthetically pleasing, too: stuck to the trees. Based on the reports, Im thinking Manhattan and the Bronx got in on a bit of the same band that hit the Lower Hudson Valley and Western CT (just a glancing blow.) Nassau and Suffolk had their own band. Brooklyn and Queens were caught in between and had lesser totals than even some parts of Jersey that were near the western limit of the band which glanced NYC.

Dark Star Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 7.5" of snow here in Garwood NJ (Union County) roads are passable, though some a bit slow. Right before the storm hit, I thought we would only get between 4-5" as I saw it intensifying just a little further north than I would have liked to see.

That's a long shot, but given the way this band keeps delivering and some of the short term models keeping snow in here for a while longer, I'm not writing it off just yet, That would be 24" on the ground, meaning 20" of new snowfall. Its a long shot, but I'd take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha5 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 For the NYC metro, this was a SW CT storm Widespread 12-20 inches over the area with a mega deform band affecting everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Smithtown to that. Still snowing heavily and this is the greatest snowdepth that we have had since February 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
