Keep rubbing it.So far have about 5.5 inches here.
fwiw the nams have about 4-5 inches more for most additional accumulation tonight
Now it's 4.25" and 30F as of 4 pm, so 3/4" the last hour and the snow is falling moderately and it's clearly much drier now - not quite sure on ratios, as the flakes are smaller than some of the 1/2" size agglomerates we were getting. Some of the small flakes are shaped nicely (dendrites that would layer well), but some are more pellet like, indicating a mixture of growth regimes up there in our favorite place, the DGZ. Guessing we're probably 10:1, but if we could get more uniform drier dendrites, I think we'd get to 13-15:1. Streets completely covered now (not that busy, though).
Barely measurable snow on the driveway.Finally hit the magic 1 inch per hour rate, as we have legitimately heavy, heavy snow with <1/4 mile visibility under 35+ DBZ radar echo - this could be 2" per hour stuff. As of 5 pm we have 5.25" and it's 30F out there and pouring gloriously gorgeous dendrites, which I'm sure are at least 12-15:1, snow to liquid ratio (fluffy). Just took a walk around the neighborhood and it's simply beautiful out there. Roads completely snow covered now and with the sun very low in the sky now and the heaviest snow falling I imagine it's tough out on the roads right now at rush hour.
A good friend of mine married weather royalty, lol, the poster known as HM (Anthony Masiello). He tweets regularly and he has a very cool visible satellite loop on his site - see the link. He also reiterated what earthlight said a few hours ago, i.e., "you don't need me to tell you that things are escating now."
you need to come 15 miles west to Downingtown, we have 9-10" hereI'm sitting in an Embassy Suites near King of Prussia and we're nowhere near 8" right now. Maybe 5ish.

We've established that Curran is a tard, calling for 2-4". Most in CNJ/NNJ will make it to 8" or more when it's all done. Lots more to come still.Curran mentioned the heaviest rate is 3/4 inch and hour.

And that may put most in 8-12 territory total. This thing will wind up being close to what was predicted if you throw out some nutty model runs from yesterday.fwiw the nams have about 4-5 inches more for most additional accumulation tonight

Considering what we were hearing less than 24 hours ago 8" would be a good final outcome. I'll make you a deal...Metuchen can have all of Manasquan's snow. That way we'd both be happy. Don't take it personally. I appreciate what you do for the board but I hope this is the last time a thread like this is needed for a very long time.

I notice that a couple of you say you've shoveled. This storm was expected to bring wet heavy snow that would be difficult to shovel; does that seem true? My snow guy is coming by in the morning, and I hope he isn't delayed by the difficulty of clearing snow.
snow lightened up in somerset county recently with some subsidence but will pick up again. So for me it was just 3/4 inch rates the last hour. I would say not quite 2 on pavement and getting close to 5.5 on grass
again the 12-18 calls by Mt Holly are why people and some twitter mets are calling it a bust....while we should see between 6-12 for most of us when all is said and done and some isolated higher spots...and it wasnt even a 12-18 call..they literally had New Brunswick at 18 so if they see 9 or even 10 yeah thats a bust...we will see what happens. Still a good 3-4 hours of good rates left
I called them out for the 12-18" call (same thing for NWS-NYC, who kept the 12-18" call) - had no idea why they went that high, but at least they corrected it before the storm to 10-15", which is still probably a bit high for many but will verify for some, including me, I'm sure. I always thought 8-14" was a better call - probably 75% of folks who were in the 10-15" area will make 8-14", but I think quite a few folks won't make it past 8".
It was “heavy” but there’s wasn’t much of it. I only went out so I don’t kill my already bad back if we were to get a ton.I notice that a couple of you say you've shoveled.
