Greenpoint, Brooklyn: Not too bad yet, 25.5* and maybe four inches; difficult to tell as I'm right on the East River and snow's blowing all over the place.

Belford NJ, just went and measured 3 different spots that and I had 6, 8, and 10 inches. Those were the areas least subject to wind in my yard. I'm going with an average of 8 inches so far

Heavy snow and windy

Monroe NY HV
19 degrees, 82% barometer dropping fast 29.53. Moderate wind blown snow.Maybe an inch right now.Radar looks good.Dry slot in SNJ does not concern me.

Now 3 hours later I'm approaching 6" (hard to measure with winds gusting 35mph+) Snowing very heavily right now under this band that keeps back building. 2"= per hour. Looking at the radar it should keep snowing here at a minimum of 1" per hour through mid-afternoon. If this keeps up I will have over a foot by 2 or 3 p.m. easy. Great storm

If we get some more crazy bands like Frank is talking about this afternoon, and if it snows till late tonight well then.....................I don't even want to speculate.

Wait didnt I banish you to Florida for this storm for jumping off the winter cancel bridge last week? told ya

This storm has hit CNJ real hard. The way it is snowing here in the plumstead township of Ocean county, I do not doubt that we will have more than 2 ft or even 3 ft here. There is still lots of time remaining for this storm to end.

4 inches. Windy. Wayne

Yea, dry air to the north concerns me more.

Approaching 2" now

Humidity rising to 83 from 82 a few minutes ago.That's a good sign.This storm is a beast and could break down that cold wall.

18.8 now. Ratios will be good if we get all that moisture from bands.

Getting subsidence from that weenie band south of me in the city

by **RJB8525** Sat Jan 23, 2016 7:37 am

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOO

I didn't go out to measure but I can see its past my car tires

Also FWIW Mt holly should've done a region wide blizzard warning. I have drifts and the winds are whipping

by **WeatherBob** Sat Jan 23, 2016 7:39 am

I know everyone is excited by this storm , it is a fun one to watch. However, please don't post erroneous snow totals. I doubt someone has 2 to 3 feet of snow right now. Maybe in drifts.

by **NjWeatherGuy** Sat Jan 23, 2016 7:39 am

At work rn because no driving ban, terrible conditions out, hope i dont get stuck here

Christie quoted "Not as bad as storms NJ as seen in the past 6-10 years" issuing driving bans for Nemo and Juno but not this you damn fool

Their no doubt 2-3ft is readable got 14 here now and snows until 1 am

by **Dtone** Sat Jan 23, 2016 7:43 am

Tough to tell how much snow with the wind. But wind is howling at times now. Sideways white sheets is all i see.
