Just took my latest measurement. I have 5” on the ground and still coming down. If I had tried to track what fell and melted earlier today I’d probably be at 6” for the day so far.

by mwilli5783 Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:20 pm

looking at the radar looks like dry air toward the west side of the storm,the band are setting up nicely for tonight...hempstead looks like around 4-5 inches so far

by **weatherwatchermom** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:22 pm

getting a little more than an inch an hour...(currently at 4.25)

by Guest Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:23 pm

Picked up to moderate here now. 5”. Maybe we get going good now

by **dsix85** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:26 pm

Moderate to heavy snow in Manorville..waiting for that heavy band to come onshore.

by **devsman** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:27 pm

Bands look heavier on radar than in my backyard

Got out of work not too long ago. I am now on the 4 train in the Bronx on my way to Woodlawn. Looks much nicer here snow wise!!!

P.s. This isn't banter; merely an Observation. Laughing

Im in that same hole with you Soul

by **Taffy** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:30 pm

I have 6.1" of snow. I'm concerned about my measuring but I've been very careful. I took an old cutting board, put it on the picnic table in a fairly enclosed area. I seem to have more than Frank who lives a couple of miles West of me. He reported less snow than I would have thought. Any suggestions or ideas or reasons why I am measuring more than some?

by **billg315** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:32 pm

I’m in a brief lull here. Heavier bands just to my southeast. If they rotate back here I think I’ll get another couple inches or more this evening. If it trains in place I may end around 6 for the day.

by **Snow88** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:34 pm

Snowing pretty good now here in Brooklyn and sticking

The bands coming in from the ocean look great for central NJ and NYC ( 5 boroughs )

by snowlover78 Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:34 pm

It is snowing at crazy rates and I measured in last one hour almost 2.5 inches now it is reaching 8+ inches and accumulating rapidly. I made a video but could not upload it.

Taffy, you are probably good. I have 6” for the day here and we’re in the same general region. With this event (and most snow events) snow totals can be very localized because heavy bands can literally sit over one town and miss their neighboring town. I’m sure based on my measurement you’re accurate or close to it.

by Smittyaj623 Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:37 pm

Been puking here for about 2 hours now...I don’t see any signs of letting up

by **skinsfan1177** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:37 pm

Thanks Bill. I was fairly certain I was messing up somehow. It's a great explanation and one I actually understood! I'll feel comfortable reporting my totals now.

I'm about as far from an expert on this board as is possible, but I think a lot of it has to do with how bands set up. I remember a storm where I grew up (Mohawk Valley) where one side of town got several inches of snow and the other side of town got nothing. Storms cut off where they cut off and there's not much anybody can do.

To those more knowledgeable, please correct me if I'm wrong.

by **billg315** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:39 pm

Also Taffy, Frank posted his measurement over an hour ago when Union County was still under a heavy band. It’s very possible Cranford is over 5” now.

by **Vinnydula** Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:39 pm

Sleet for over an hour now. I'm in that hole also Sad
