Scott that brings back a flood of memories!!

BTW still light to moderately snowing here. NE NJ FTW HAHAHA.

by **sroc4** Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:04 pm

Light snow here. The snow is now spotty. I'm hoping I pick up another 0.25" to reach 7". Now I'm getting greedy

by **snow247** Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:06 pm

Alright, snow has ended here. Official storm total is 4.0".

Nice. But I'm still not ready to move on to spring. Still itching for that last big snowstorm Sad

My 4.0" total is accurate, check: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/hydromet/erEventDisplay.php

There it is!! 5 changes in 48hrs to their totals forecast. The over wins. Laughable that it went from 2-3" for me this afternoon to 6-8" tonight after I have about 7 already. Thanks for the heads up.

With the moderate snow still falling I'm pretty sure another 0.25" will be measured by the am. Good night.

Almost 6 inches on the dot....ratios by me on the coast were maybe 6:1(Probably had close to a inch of liquid)...once the heavy banding stopped the roads cleared. So a low impact event down here with some nice totals in the end...Cant ask for much more...

by **Math23x7** Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:34 pm

I just made a snowfall measurement of 4" putting me over 50" on the year!

by **RJB8525** Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:35 pm

Around 4" here

by **snow247** Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:45 pm

Still snowing here, little bands keep finding their way to me lol.

4.0" maybe a bit more.

Ace we plowed in the beach roads in Boro not so good. What does this bring us too for total. Overperformed once again

by **amugs** Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:54 pm

It is still snowing lightly here around 7 I measured 4 so I would say 4-5 i safe, I am not getting dressed back up to go and measure lol

Snow if you were the Central Park Zookeeper NYC would be approaching 80 inches this winter. Very Happy

Haha, don't know what I was doing, I've been sick the past day or two (for the second snowstorm in a row, of course) and I was just walking around, pretty much dragging my dog behind me, not really thinking about how I was measuring lol.

Oh well, 4.0" at 8PM, maybe a bit more now.

Looks real nice out there for the first day of spring, that's for sure.

by **NjWeatherGuy** Sat Mar 21, 2015 12:01 am

Snowing again lol

by **snow247** Sat Mar 21, 2015 12:06 am

RAP, HRRR, and RGEM all have some enhancement overnight, gives an additional inch or two of snow for most.

by **snow247** Sat Mar 21, 2015 12:21 am

Filling in a bit.

1:30 a.m. Cards over. Measured a hair under 5" total. season 70.5" great year!!!

by **Math23x7** Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:59 am

CPK's March 20th snowfall measurement came in at 4.5" putting the March total at 18.6" for the 7th snowiest March on record and the seasonal snow total at 47.0", the 22nd snowiest on record.

Wrap your mind around this: The is the 4th time going back to 1869 that CPK has measured over 100" over two consecutive seasons combined:

1915-16: 50.7"
1916-17: 50.7"
Sum: 101.4"

1947-48: 63.2"
1948-49: 46.6"
Sum: 109.8"

2009-10: 51.4"
2010-11: 61.9"
Sum: 113.3"

2013-14: 57.4"
2014-15: 47.0"
Sum: 104.4"

wow! mike and what's really amazing is that it has happened twice in the last 5 years.

by **snow247** Sat Mar 21, 2015 6:55 am

Looks beautiful out right now. Too bad it will all be gone in like 2 hours.

by **sroc4** Sat Mar 21, 2015 7:12 am

Still flurries to light snowfall out here.

by nofoboater Sat Mar 21, 2015 7:48 am

What's up sroc? Looks like you got me by about 2" this go around, we're at 5" here. I noticed coming home last night on Sound that the snow really cut down past Edwards Ave. Still some light snow here.

Side note: I'm not a tremendously big poster here but thought it might be appropriate to send heart felt condolences to the family of Lisa Colagrassi and channel 7 Eyewitness News Team. Definitely too young to leave us.

Numerous reports of 3-6" across the area with isolated 7" amounts in LI and EPA. If I had moved the 3-6 south to encompass CNJ and the jersey shore, it would have been a good call by me. Alas, I busted too low. Still, compared to some other sources I thought I was one of the highest along with Nick Gregory on FOX. Sun angle was a factor until mid afternoon, but once rates picked up and dawn came it was game on from there.
