Switching over to snow near Flemington. Still stuck on 9 inches.

Models did a great job with this storm. Widespread 12 to 24" with 30" jackpot. am really impressed with the new gfs. Most consistent model

That radar is crap.

You need to use both of these. Key word is both.

Slowing down I would say I'm around 17to19

How much more are we expecting?

sure is crap, i think however it was posted on here a long time ago by someone, i do not usually find my own. thanks much better i see and yes both cuz i fall in a weird spot where i need both. wish i could paste them together. i see yes much still coming. latest reports from about 3:30 in my area art 13-14 inches but i think Al is more on ot with 16 as i measured 13 many hours ago.

Even though echos lightened. Keep getting steady mod snow. This from a met from another board as reason why.

pretty much stopped right now, i cant see as well as its get dark but i see radar looks like it will pick back up to moderate.

Bands are redeveloping over the ocean moving right thru metro nyc. Cpk should hit 20".

Frank are those gifs or live radars, im look at time stamp and look like they from a hour ago, i cannot find the live radar

New Hope update: powdery snow, 8.5" on my driveway, brisk breeze; 32*

Jman the intense rates are over for us. We Will see 1/2 to1" an hour rates for several more hours and we should end up with close to 20" not including tomorrow.  This is an historic storm enjoy it and stop always wanting to jackpot

Dry slot on Long Island................

3-5 additional my WSW updated to which would put me on par with what the nam said pretty much which is 19-21. Spot on with the models at least leading up, not sure if I see anything tomorrow the WSW doesn't go past 6am.

Frank.  I am in Clifton Passaic County. NWS says 5-8 for me overnight.  Is that a fair forecast or can I expect any heavy bands to set up that would give me more than that.  Thanks for all you and other so.  This forum is the best

So I just went out to perform a task that was equally futile and productive (if such a dichotomy is possible). I shoveled out my car. I realized there was more snow to come tonight and tomorrow, but also realized that taking the bullet now and clearing the 16" of snow will make it a heck of a lot easier to clear whatever else falls tonight. It was a task. Moving that much snow posed two challenges in a parking lot: 1) It was heavy; 2.) there really are few good places to move it. Nonetheless I cleared out my car and my spot which should make tomorrow evening's (Wednesday AM?) dig much easier.

oh no im not trying to jackpot, trying to understand where we stand, 20 inches is amazing, i had asked if people thought it would be safe for me to travel tomorrow to eastern CT, i gotta decide by midnight. I am also beyond exhausted from all the shoveling i did today two times plus playing with my daughter in the snow. was fun but exhausting.

Cpk with .49le since last reading.should have at least 18" so far

How do you think the go forward setup looks for our neck of the woods?  Given the sleetstorm and the other s-word we aren't supposed to stay, feeling good about the next 12 or so hours?

I'm not sure that we'll get back to what we had from 8 a.m. to noon this morning, but all the modeling shows the snow filling back in over our area tonight and tomorrow, albeit at lower intensities. I think we'll see more off and on snow overnight as this dryslot fills in and some may even be moderate at times. I wouldn't expect huge totals on top of what we have here, but can't rule out a few more inches through tomorrow.

Thanks - hard to believe 18" or whatever we end up with feels like a bust. Once I start actually shoveling will probably be thankful lol

I am at 20 inches. Snowing sideways. The wind has not got up to mph where I thought it would. The snow is steady, real steady. I expect it to keep on until near sunrise and still after that with light snow. I can see 28 inches out of this up here. Life is good except at Central Park where they have probably said snowfall is at 3 inches. Plow guy came twice; he says forget about the roads. Not at all clear or plowed. This is really quite a storm. Great stuff!

Glad I shoveled out the car when I did, because the winds have just kicked up a notch here. Howling outside my window. It is probably miserable out there now.

Damian you may be just a bit too far north for the stronger winds, but they are kicking up here. I actually find that the winds on these storms always seems strongest on the backside and as it's pulling away, so I think they'll be worse tonight and tomorrow than they were earlier today. And congrats on hitting 20"!!

started snowing lightly again, cannot tell how much if it is blowing snow as the wind has picked up again.

25*, approaching 17” and still snowing heavily- great storm!
