It has been non-stop in Brick since 8am this morning. Thought it was a bust when I awoke this morning.
Just shoveled. I measured 8". Still snowing good.

In the Philly (western) 'burbs around Villanova, It had been snowing non-stop since 5:15 this AM when the phone for school closing rang. Finally stopped about an hour ago.
Just measured 2 different spots, and both were about the same, right around 11 inches to a foot.
WAAY more than the Philly media were calling for.

8 1/2 Monroe now still coming down and no plows in sight since one made a pass around 3 in front of house but not on side street where driveway is. Cant wait to clean up that mess when it gets done later. Looks like almost over from radar, wonder if that detached band by Scranton/Allentown will make it here later????????
Just shoveled for 2nd time. We must have 7-8" here on the coast.
EDIT: News 12 says Wall Twsp has had the most snow with 8 inches and counting.

4 pm report (forgot to post): Had a lull with little snow, due to that "drywall" that came through, from 2:00 to 2:45 or so. Been snowing lightly to occasionally moderately and we've picked up another 1/2" of snow and stand at 7.5" for the storm. Would love to make 8" and think I will with that next band on my doorstep. 22F.
7 pm report: 8.0", possibly final - maybe another tenth or two if that last band has any juice to it. Went back outside to do my 3rd and final shoveling around 6 pm and then measured around 6:45 pm, after the light snow had stopped and I had picked up another 1/2" in the last couple of hours for a solid 8" pretty much everywhere. With so little wind and minimal compaction, measuring was easy this time (not common this winter). Total snow depth is now 18-20", on average. Best storm of the season and great job by the NWS.

When measuring make sure you are not measuring previous storms
Wound up with 7 in Belle Mead/Hillsborough havent been bac up to Somervillw but believe they got slightly less

Looks like the MILFs finally got the 8+ inches they've been waiting for all winter long. I hope that satisfies them until next winter.
So looking at the 7day forecast which looks dry and warmer...will this be the last weather thread until the spring game?
Anyway my town Croydon got 8.8 inch. My store 3.5 miles away got "just" 5.25. Biggest snow around here was King of Prussia which got over 10in.
So the winter lovers finally got their winter storm. Enough now! Time for spring!! Daylight Savings starts Sunday.

Easily 10" in East Windsor, probably a bit more. Local roads are a sheet of ice this morning, be careful if you're going anywhere.
got a good 7-8 inches here in Ocean City, luckily the sun is out and hopefully we get some melting over the next few days.
I think that was April 6 1982...it was 60 plus a few days before and March 13/14 1993 both dumped at least a foot
We got about 6.5" of snow up in Wayne. I cleared off around 5" yesterday at 3'ish, then another 1.5 more this morning.
Also, didn't we have a storm in March/April 1984? I remember I was living in Richardson Apts at the time, and we went out and had a snowball fight that evening with residents from Johnson/Nichols Apts.
Yep, didn't we get something like 5-6 inches? I remember being on campus for that.

Possibly, but March averages more snow than December, so not likely. No snow for at least a week, but if the medium range models are to be believed (and they're not, but they can indicate potential), we might get another major storm next weekend that could be a big mixed bag of precip.
Major snowstorms after about 3/15 are pretty rare for the I-95 corridor (not so rare well N/W), but that 4/6/82 storm was one of my favorites. We got a foot in NB - I was a sophomore and it was not well predicted at all - school was closed and there were massive snowball fights between folks in the Quads and the River Dorms across George St. and any cars driving by were getting pummelled.

Just a beautiful 1/2" from this past storm here in central Orange cty...18" still on the ground, but I'll take it!
Come on March sun angles...do your thing!!!

WP - aren't you a met by major (not sure if practicing)? If so, you're in the vast minority of mets that don't like snow - what happened?

I'm a meteorologist/climatologist by undergraduate and graduate degrees...I practice on the side and consult some...most of my practice was with the USAF Weather Agency...until I retired in 2011...I hate snow...I hate shoveling it, driving on it, and it depresses me...no joke, this has been an utterly miserable winter. I know I know it begs the question what the **** are you still doing in the Hudson valley? I retired from the military at the lowest point of the local housing market...so selling was a non option...Texas is where my heart is...or Omaha (winters there can be colder, but there's a lot more variable and DRIER!!)
...soon! (...and yes I realize I'm in the minority of weather queen when it comes to snow...that's ok, as a gay man and hispanic I'm used to the minority bin!).
Now...late April - Sep rocks up here...so holding on to that like a warm blanket!! :-)
Sounds like you need a winter home down in Texas - most snowbirds go to FL, since TX can still get a lot colder than most of FL (unless it's the TX Gulf coast), but you can be a trendsetter, lol. Maybe sell now and get places in both locations that add up to what you have now, assuming that's doable. Must've been tough to be in the closet that long - I mean the snow closet, as I'm guessing your meteorological USAF buddies would've wanted to toss you from their ranks for being a snow-hater much more than over your sexuality. :>)

Snow became a forecast game at the "old" met building in Cook...so it was fun from that perspective. Other than NY, most my USAF assignments were pretty snow-free, so it was an occasional treat (a 6" snow in Omaha was pretty epic)...here you sneeze hard enough and a few inches fall...dang those local effects. Snow as a kid at the shore (Monmouth Cty) meant it would be gone in a few days...snow on the ground here since Jan 20th :-(
When it comes to weather types, I'm more into severe weather...I get more excited about lightning, tropical weather, urban heat islands, climate and climate change stuff than synoptic weather...I know, an ODD DUCK in SO many ways! Oh, and I don't watch or care for the weather channel...that usually nets me a few raised eye brows!
The brilliant sunshine today is INVIGORATING!!!

So this call for suppression and the call you made for suppression on the 2/17 storm, in which you said there'd be no snow north of the Mason-Dixon line, when we ended up with 3-5" throughout Central Jersey, didn't work out so well.
I assume you were expecting me to bring this up after all the grief you gave me last March when a couple of storms were suppressed to the south of 195 (as you predicted), leaving most of Central Jersey dry, after predictions of several inches.
A strong polar vortex does not always suppress a storm and speaking authoritatively doesn't make it any more likely you'll be right. You excoriated me last year. I prefer to simply point out you were wrong. Awaiting your pithy response...

We could have build the BB practice facility already.
And maybe have enough left over to do the LAX one that Cali wants.
Relax man, you two got your 8 pages. LOL

That's what you get from me.
Ya know what you don't get from me? 1000 words about how even though I was wrong I was really right and how there are multiple and various shades of "right" in my wrongness because after all, I have several degrees in a field completely unrelated to the multiple things in which I consider myself an expert.
I submit that you, who strive so hard to teach people lessons, could stand to learn one yourself - sometimes wrong is wrong. Accept it and shut the f*ck up. See, that way, you don't have to endure long-winded posts from other people about how much of a boring dick you are.
And e5fdny is right - you really do spend more time talking about yourself than anyone, ever, in the history of this board. If there was an Annual Mr. Television Award For Self-Aggrandizement you would win every single time.
