Ace this has got to have us over our seasonal avg. Do you know our seasonal total so far this year

6.1 with this storm...means 22.5 on year. Average is 19.5-21.5

Snow falling moderately. Temps rose quickly in just an hour or so. I haven't measured yet. One or two more coffees and I'll feel human enough to check out there.

Yes another year above the average.

5.25 here in Jackson. Still snowing lightly!

by **amugs** Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:30 am

12* and light snow just had a 30 minute burst of mod snow. We overperformed due to the incredible snow ratios. 25:1 ? maybe even 30:1 which I'd historic in my book for the coastal plain when all is said and done. These southern stream, systems seem to overperform one way or another. I am eyeballing 2" and I"ll take it - any snow is good snow. This arctic snow is fluff, clean it with a broom or back blower.
congrats to you south of me here. Radar last night was a tell tale sign something was up. Amazing.

by **snow247** Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:37 am

Morning guys, looks like I got close to 2 inches here. Nice surprise since I was expecting nothing. Currently moderate snow 14*.

by Guest Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:38 am

14 degrees. Moderate snow here in Syosset. Unbelievably high ratios. 4"+ already. Still snowing. Laughing

hey AL! sorry I know I been off for a minute was a crazy weekend, I only have about 2 inches as of 7:30am, surprised you have a inch and a half more. I just did a quick measure though on my way out the door so maybe it was not 100% accurate. Sounds like this overperformed for any NJ people, good for u : )

by **billg315** Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:41 am

Snow has now ended but for a couple stray flurries here and the sun is just trying to break through the cloud cover at times. Just went out to get my "official" total: I measure 3.25" in Somerville. Light and fluffy, easy to shovel and clear from your car.

by **Quietace** Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:43 am

This band is awesome. Still coming down

by **hyde345** Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:53 am

9* and flurries, no accumulation. I was on the far northern edge of the storm this time, oh well.

by **oldtimer** Tue Feb 17, 2015 8:54 am

15* light snow 3" Very seldom we get such a powdery snow here Very nice white gold and it adds to snow pack How are you doing Sroc?

by **snow247** Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:00 am

Coming to an end here, eyeballing 2 inches. Nice little event.

by **RJB8525** Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:02 am

Very nice thump of snow. The city crapped the bed on cleaning the roads

by Fededle22 Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:11 am

Very light flurries here. Doesn't look like we got more than a couple of inches but they still closed schools.

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:18 am

Storm performed very well for the area. It actually did not do so well around DC - a large dry slot developed over them - but the 700mb frontogenesis really took over in the overnight hours here to deliver us a nice fluffy snow. With precip getting pretty far north, ratios with this system were at least 20:1 given the reports I am seeing around the web. Jersey coast, as suspected, was the jackpot with 5-7" amounts. Overall, I was happy with my call and will now look to track the next event Wednesday night in the other thread.

by **snow247** Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:33 am

Sun is out birds are chirping but there's still light snow falling, looks really weird.

Got exactly 2" here, impressive since I was so far north.

by **Grselig** Tue Feb 17, 2015 9:47 am

1.8 inches light fluffy snow. Still have flurries falling like crystals in the emerging sunlight. used the leaf blower to get rid of the snow.

by Guest Tue Feb 17, 2015 10:11 am

Just flurries now 13 degrees. just came in from blowing the snow off the ice rink. Measured an average of 4.5" of baby powder. with the 1" from the last bust storm my season total is up to 44" Good season even with all the misses!

by **Quietace** Tue Feb 17, 2015 10:14 am

Still going...

I was amazed at how fluffy it was, i could have kicked it instead of using a shovel lol

by **sroc4** Tue Feb 17, 2015 10:28 am
