Same here. It has been snowing literally all day since sunrise, although it has only accumulated 1 inch. But I have watched the snow falling all day out my window and it has been positively beautiful, peaceful, and calming.

Temp down to 31.8 streets turning white and snowing moderately in intensity now. Have bout another 1/2 -45 minutes of this final push and then onto Monday's sneaky clipper system!

30 and cloudy. Had another burst of snow this afternoon that got me to 5 for the storm. 50.5 for the season.

As others have said, not adding too much to overall totals, although this latest band will push me over 6 inches for this storm. That will bring me to over 70 inches of snow this winter. Absolutely bonkers!

This storm may have been my favorite yet. Don't get me wrong, I loved getting close to 3 feet of snow at the beginning of the month. It scratched an itch that hasn't been scratched in a LONG time up here.

But it's kind of like steak (hear me out). Sometimes, on special occasions, you splurge on a very nice Filet Mignon or Porterhouse steak at a 5 star restaurant. It's absolutely worth it, but when the bill comes you have to make your peace with it.

But most of the time, a decent chuck steak will get the job done if seasoned and prepared properly.

The 2/1 storm was my Filet Mignon, and this storm was my chuck steak. They both have their place, but 9/10 times I get the chuck steak, save some money (or in this case, back pain), and am damn happy with it.

Now I'm hungry....

Love the analogies in here!!

What I noticed about this winter is everyone at some point cashed in. It's not like SNJ hasn't had any snow, or that N&W of NYC is consistently jackpotting. Its pretty spread out.

100% correct. While the near misses are always a part of the SNJ winter story, the real story this winter is that the snow has returned to the Shore. Gonna grab another inch from 4 pm thru 7-8 pm today and not really notice, add that to the 2-3" from yesterday in just 1.5-2 hours of snow and we are sitting at 20" on the season. On the month in fact. And with more to come I think.

And here's my analogy:

My kids are no longer snow starved! Like a croc that's taken a zeb, they're actually sated for a bit.

Absolutely beautiful here. Moderate snow. Probably will end up with another 2-2.5” today. Ice on the trees from last night in combo with the snow and all the trees are glistening white. Just perfect. Temp 30

4.8 inch storm total, 3.3 inches today. 17 inches now otg.
Loved this storm. Almost 30 hours of continuous snow. 55.3 inches for the season. A great three week stretch. Hoping for another 2-3 on Monday.

Same been at work all day. Just got home and measured. An additional 1.5" fell today but its falling very moderately right now. Yesterday I ended with a modest 4.25” What an unbelievable day today watching it snow basically all day long. Just like a Vermont ski town USA. @DAYBLAZER I absolutely loved your steak analogy. So apropos except im going to say todays 1.5" was more like a good marinated skirt steak cooked on high heat (600*)over my grill for about 2-2:30 mins per side instead of beginning of the month being the A5 Wagyu. I wouldnt be surprised to see another 1-1.5" tonight.

I would say 2.5” for the day. 2” here on the ruler likely due to compaction throughout the day. Still lightly snowing

Finally calling it.... 4.5" yesterday, 2" today. nice little storm, was so pretty to watch today.

by **sroc4** Fri Feb 19, 2021 9:53 pm

Added another 1/2” for me. 4.25” yesterday and 2” today Totaling 6.25”. Great system. Really loved the fact that it snowed all day today from sun up to sun down. That doesn’t happen by me very often. Have a great weekend. Let’s see how Monday trends

by **oldtimer** Sat Feb 20, 2021 7:55 am

Got light snow. Small strip cam down central con. 5 inches on the ground 29 *

Flakes are still coming down here on LI, albeit lightly it’s still snowing.

by **aiannone** Sat Feb 20, 2021 8:24 am

Snow showers on and off today.
Last night at 11PM had a light one as we were driving home from a freinds.
6" total here from 36 hours of wintry precipitation!! If that dry air at 500 over NNJ. LHV did not inhibit the snow growth we would have had 7-10" IMO. They came up and did not produce whatbthe radar echoes were showing.
NAM did a very good job with the storm overall for sniffing out the warm layer, the frontogenesis banding as well.

Think I forgot to update total 5.0, right in line with franks map nice job.

by **aiannone** Sat Feb 20, 2021 12:32 pm

light snow has started again here

by **dkodgis** Sun Feb 21, 2021 1:30 am

It was six inches up here; then there was a last burst that coated the driveway again...maybe a quarter inch more. As some said, a nice storm that provided that gentle, >than a day snow. Sat morning there was snow around 11 am that did not amount to anything but a dusting. A good winter so far.
