Wow!  That means I get 4.5 to 10.5 more inches tonight.

That backend means business!

Mt. Holly not buying that.

I had 11" before the sleet/light rain today...I see no reason I cant hit 14-18" in southwest suffolk county

Tonight is still tricky. Most people got between 8-14 inches from round 1. Anyone get more then 14? Round two, staying conservative, I see 3-6 inches. Which means most of our area would end between 11-20 inches. I think the median number we will see is 16-19 inches. Somewhere in there. 

I for example, since I got 14 inches, think I could get near 20 inches

Nam is amazing for tonight. Additional 7+ inches

I wouldn't complain about that run at all.

You do have to hand it to the NWS this round, they have put all of  the local Mets to shame.

Other than Frank, and the experts on this board, Scott (Sroc), Ryan, and Tom the sometimes but always knowledgeable skeptic, Mugs, Zoo and all the rest, (like the Gilligans Island song right Doc, only people over 45 will get that) they were the only outlet predicting these kind of totals yesterday.

I agree with you on the backend stuff Doc most of the time, but the way this winter has gone a big thumping on the backend would not surprise me in the least, from everything I've seen on this board I'm expecting it. Let me clarify when I say big, I mean 4-6 inches for a backend event I consider that big, anything more than 6 would be gravy.

Sounds reasonable.

Any idea on start time for the second round of snow?

NAM is very impressive for NJ.

Have already about 14 on ground now...think 14-18 should be right on target unless tonight's snowfall is more than another 4 inches for me.

LOL, Gilligans Island little buddy!

You're right about NWS, they did do a good job.They are the only place I ever cross check the folks here with.

I'm not an expert radar reader, but that backend looks pretty juicy to me.Very interesting to watch this develop, very rare to get big backend thumps.

Is that general amount of 7" for the whole area on the NAM??

NO, it includes this morning.

Nam was 3-6 for Long Island and 5-9 for NNJ/NYC/HV

LOL go ask de blasio about the NWS he threw them...under the school bus    

I got a foot of snow this morning National Weather Service has me for 14 to 18 inches total so that's another 2 to 6 inches tonight I think that's reasonable. AccuWeather has 2 to 4 inches for the city in 3 to 6 for the suburbs north and west. right now light drizzle 34 degrees sloppy outside.

Well, the front end over performed a bit at least here on LI, lets hope for some backend over performance!!!

Bet after today he'll never do that again!

Ok so I am torn here, or maybe spread a little thin. I am absolutely amazed at how intense the snow bands were this morning...at least 2-4" an hr at times. Incredible. I had to pick up my staff and still make it to work...do surgery, then drive home to do my driveway. Problem is I didnt get home before about 2 hrs of rain fell so my darn snowblower kept clogging. So the old back and arms had to do all the work. 1.5hrs of shoveling, and now back up to work so I can discharge my surgery. After that I am closing early and taking my staff to Phils for a burger and a beer.

Bring on the back end BABY!!!
Winter 2013/2014 FTMFW!!!!
Oh and I got about 11.5" before all the rain started.

I just realized another 3-6 tonight and maybe again Saturday means 6-12 (at least) by Sunday. Where exactly will I put this snow?

Thanks Frank on tonight amounts
