March 13th-14th "Agita" Storm Part II

Ripping snow for the last few hours in Hillsborough, NJ. Unfortunately, only car tops covered currently. If only that ULL stayed further south ugh. Nice scenery though.

I appreciate this little bit of silver lining right now.

We continue to snow globe with no accumulations

34-35 degrees here in Piscataway. It's been snowing steadily since about 9:00AM. We've been in the path of a beautiful band for most of the late morning/early afternoon, but no real accumulations except for the crooks of trees and the corners of roofs. White rain all day.

Fluffy is good, I thought it would be just the opposite.

I think Damian’s definition of fluffy is a lot different than the rest of us LOL.

31.3 and just continues to rip. 9 inches and counting

Season now at 27.5 inches a little over half normal and still a solid F.

In it right now. Easily 2+ inch per hour rates. I’m at 8 inches plus now so already beat Feb 28th 7.3 inch storm. if I could stay under this a couple of hours I easily make a foot. Doc 5 miles to my west already in double digits.

And no this wing is still an F- but it’s a nice ending if this is it.

F-, you're a hard man,CP,LOL.Myself, I will grade it a D- for two reasons.This nice snowstorm plus we had a 2 to 3 inch snowpack the week before Christmas with cold for a nice Holiday mood.Long range crew sees something as well.

Closing in on a foot here have been under bands for a few hours now.Visibilty way down with wind gusts.

34* here and continuing to snow at a good clip. It is incredible with the duration and intensity of the snow here today that so little has stuck - to anything! If it was January and it was a couple degrees colder I'd probably have at least 3 or 4" at this point.

CP is right. That looks like a snow cone without the syrup.lol

Woohoo! A little stickage to the trees and grass now! Took about 5 hours lol.

You went from F- to F! If I were there, I would take your pulse.

Fluffy for me at age 72 is a padded toilet seat.
Radar looks good for us CP, think we keep ripping for a while.Let's get up and over a foot before this ends !

Seems to be winding down here now.  Still 3” on the grass, lots of blowing and drifting.  Maybe an inch and a half on the parts of the driveway that didn’t melt or get blown off.

A solid F- for New Hope, barely an inch during wall and wing. What little fell earlier today looked lovely for an hour or so, now is melted. A few flakes coming down now, 37*

Same here. Finally starting to stick to trees and grassy areas. Unbelievable that it's been coming down at these rates and just now starting to coat colder surfaces.

Very fine heavy snow right now, still not sticking but its getting later might start to before too long. Hoping anyways. Just got a special weather statement says going to end around 4:30, I guess we won't see that 1-3 inches, not even a trace. Had it stuck I imagine would been 3-6.

It's been off and on light to moderate snow here in downtown Brooklyn since I got to work at 7:45 this morning. Warm surface temp (don't think we've dropped below 34) + sun angle + marginal snowfall rates + urban heat island effect + 2023 wing = nothing sticking to show for it.

But this is the first day of the 2023 snow season I've gotten to enjoy being distracted watching it fall all day out my office window. I'll call it a win.

Snow has ended now at 3 pm

same thing over here in throggs neck heavy snow not sticking at all

This is from Monticello NY. I measured 13" at 1600' ASL. 

These two pictures pretty much sum up today for me (heehaw, I think you got me beat! );

Coming down Rt 42 NY/209 PA/33 PA you essentially go down the Delaware River on the PA side.  After the 209/84 split nothing w.r.t. to snowfall OTG. I was surprised that lower elevation NEPA blanked on this one. I though 4-5" but the storm was just a bit too far east.

What is the measurement at Monticello

Nice pics.Never realized Monticello is 1600 feet.Driving past there on Route 17 N from Monroe ,636 feet, guess you go uo some pretty good mountains.I have to be aware of that next time I drive up to Roscoe to trout fish.
Very light snow now.Radar projection shows another band may hit 3:30-4. Will see.Very close to a foot but will defer to trained spotter up here as a lot of blowing occured today.

Sun angle and marginal temps. I remember March 2018 IMBY i had close to 40" that month. I was getting storms during peak sun angle accumulate 2"/hr. It's all about the ceiling of the clouds and temps must be below freezing. the lower the ceiling the more it resists the melting.

It's unreal Doc. The elevation allows for much better longevity for snow depths. I've been wanting to get a winter place for a while and Sullivan Cty seems like a good area for what I'm looking for. It's not killer commute.

Heehaw, sorry. I missed the 13 inches in the original post. And this, with my glasses on.
