Wow. Just waking up and could it be? An OVER-performing system finally!? It's a winter wonderland in Manhattan again. Fun storm. :-)

Feel free to make your way to Jersey and help shovel if you're ever in the mood for seeing a winter wonderland. Grounds have been covered for awhile and even some side streets here are ignored.

after reviewing the qpf for all major airports the models that showed the least qpf actually were correct. here are the #'s. Newark .10, lga and cpk .13, and jfk .18. ukie and srefs had much more qpf so they were actually wrong. rgem had .1 gfs.2 nam .25 for cpk. so overall they did pretty good. without ratio's this would have been a bust

by Biggin23 Tue Feb 17, 2015 12:53 pm

Storm won't quit...currently snowing moderately here in Jackson! Another coating on the shoveled driveway!!

by **essexcountypete** Tue Feb 17, 2015 1:02 pm

Yeah Biggin, central Jersey wins again. Crazy that it's still snowing in Monmouth and North Ocean. Dag.

Truly remarkable.

Here are current storm reports. Nice! I probably should have extended my 2-4" zone further north to account for the higher ratios. Check out the 5 spot over Staten Island, too.
