OT: Minor to Moderate (2-4?) Snowfall Likely Sat morning (2/17); will be <32F, so expect slick roads

- Start date
Holy crap! Dozed off at midnight with light snow having just started and woke up at 1 am to deathband snow! We havre 2" otg as of 1.15 am which is incredible!...spectacular huge dendrites... ratios must be at least 15.1. 30F. Will try to post a short video but only have my phone (laptop being repaired).

A little confused, the snow here is very wet and clumpy and sticking to anything and everything. Not what you would expect with high ratio snow. I suspect that insane band of frontogenesis had something to do with it, we were getting dinner plate flakes under that deathband.
Numbers I know you’re a sun angle guru, so here’s a first. Picked up 4” in an hour and ten minutes on the snowboard and didn’t stick to the roads. I’ve now seen everything.
4" otg as of 1.45 pm so we're at 4"/hr rates the last 30 min which is close to the most I've ever seen. If this somehow keeps up even at "just" 1-2"/hr for a few hours we'll get 8" or more.
Crazy... we have full chives of all surfaces and its very light and fluffy... fud my video link work? Where are you again?
If I ever have to do another storm from my phone again I might pull the rest of my hair out. This completely sucks compared to my laptop.
As of 2.15, 5.5" otg so 3"/hr rate last 30 minutes. This is a once in 10 year deformation snow band. It's insanely gorgeous out there... this is almost like lake effect snow. NWS just put out a warning for Middlesex for 4-6" more snow after 2 am and for Somerset, Mercer and Hunterdon for 3-5" more snow after 2 am. That means we could hit 10" here. This reminds me of that incredible inverted trough band of 10" they got at an Eagles game several years ago.
Ha that eagles game event in 2013 or 2014 is exactly what I was thinking of as well. That was an even narrower band IIRC.
I’m in Ringoes, as of 3AM we are at 7.7” with SN+ continuing. Gonna make a run at 10, absolutely nuts.
It's beautiful, except my kid's birthday party is scheduled for 11am. Bad timing
Somewhere between 5 and 8 inches out there but I think its closer to the latter
Bahahahaha epic bust in WRONG direction
Boy are peep gonna wake up to a surprise and be angry at the mets!

Just woke up in Hillsborough and looks like over 8 inches here.
Haven't been ouside yet but seems like we could get over 1 foot. easy

Everyone should be fired for this. For that sake I can go on tv and make a forcast.
Exactly but we all know excuses that will be made. Their asses might be saved because its a Saturday
Just measure the driveway and road, These were salted from last storm and I saw it didnt stick at first. 5 inches on road 10 inches on my truck hood. Very fluffy.
That wasnt in the margin of error!
Numbers better get his rest. Between the snowmegaddon and the Melody Reunion the guy will be living the dream today
Ten inches here in Somerset. Let the dogs out, oldest dog waited for the youngest one to clear a path before she would move
10” here as of 5AM and still going but backend coming quick.
Classic high-end bust, something we haven’t had in a while.

As of 4.45 am we just hit 10"! So 1.75" last hour. Must be at least 15.1 ratio snow... looks like another 30-45 min of heavy snow...
EPIC! I might have a foot in Readington. Cleared it with a BROOM.
Per radar looks like heaviest bands have dissipated and moving towards coast and much much lighter returns now in most of Jersey with back edge closing in
This is an extremely rare type of setup/event and nearly impossible to predict these totals. If someone did they deserve a promotion. 4-6 was the top end estimate by all model guidance, this was almost like a lake effect type of band intensity.
it's beginning to dawn on me that this may have been a once in a lifetime event.... it's just been incredible for 5+ hours and still going for another 15 min I'd guess. We might hit a foot a bit over my 3.5" prediction lol.
Yeah there's no way on this planet that anyone could've predicted such a mesoscale event...I compared it to LES earlier also. And some similarities to training summer tstorms in how localized it was.
How much are we getting here in Union/middldesex ? Is it stopping soon ?
At least it’s Saturday
Its called a bust. There was no model or met putting out a possibility of a strip of 10-12 inches of snow
Just measured. 11.75 for me. Don't think I will make it to a foot but we will see. Then I literally blew the snow away off my deck railing. Cleared all 12" with the wind in my lungs.
At 6am looks over in the Boro. Sign lit up at the Hillsborough Deli. "Why go for 6" when you can get 12"?
