different for different regions of the US but for most of us here 6"+ snow is a warning.
They can deviate from that though based on other factors like ice..

Lol doc. I also bought Cp's as well as many others. Those penny stocks sky rocketed then split once we reached avg snowfall for the season and have continued to rise with each nickel and dime storm.  Now that we are above avg I will sell off my shares and retire. Sorry. Banter.

The December Prognosticator went bankrupt two storms ago. Filing chapter 11 tomorrow, the stock is worthless.

Yep, wipe your arse with it.

LMAO DOC - That (Dec stats prog) is as good as the Jets!!!

Dtone , thanks for the explanation !

I measured 8.1" here and my brother submitted it to NOAA so it's on the list the Frank posted.

What a storm it was coming down heavy . just got in from work was their from 6am-10pm and yes my boss has egg on his face haha told him so. Great job Frank and to the others on here .

What a disappointment. I got a trace of snow and that all fell before the sun came up. Very frustrating when about 25 miles south in white plains they got 7 inches. I was really hoping for a nice end of year storm to make a large snow pack before the melt coming. At least i still have a chance until April to get my one big one this season.

Calling total at 9" here.

Tom, good for you! Your area finally jackpotted on a storm.

Mine is the Westwood amount in Bergen County...

Jackpotted again here on this storm Ace got us at 9.5 inches that's at least what I see. some surrounding towns got 10.0 so we did great. That puts us over 40 inches for the season so far way above our average once again for the season. With the way these past couple years been I do have to say the mid atlantic area and coastal nj has seen its fair share of winter weather and tropical weather.

Odd the way western Essex is stuck in there with a WWA. I live on the eastern half of that dividing line and can literally see "western Essex" as I sit here. It's pretty much where the coastal plain meets the higher elevations, but I doubt the totals will be significantly different from eastern Essex to western Essex, and even to Morris.

It is usually Upton's authority to issue warning and advisory there.  Imo, I think Mt. Holly should do all of New Jersey.  

I couldn't agree more. Too many schizophrenic forecasts under the current set up.

Well, I stand corrected. The WWA for western Essex and the WSW for eastern Essex turned out to be exactly right. 6+ for the coastal folks and under 6 for the higher elevations...

...ESSEX COUNTY...
NEWARK AIRPORT 6.7 700 PM 3/05 FAA CONTRACT OBSERVER
WEST ORANGE 6.7 600 PM 3/05 PUBLIC
MAPLEWOOD 5.3 645 PM 3/05 PUBLIC
CEDAR GROVE 5.2 500 PM 3/05 PUBLIC
FAIRFIELD 5.1 525 PM 3/05 PUBLIC
WEST CALDWELL 4.5 350 PM 3/05 TRAINED SPOTTER

I would add my 6.5 in BLOOMFIELD.

Well done NWS!

I measured 7 inches last night, spot on Frank! Nice job, no one had you fooled, this is why I go here and really anywhere else is just to see how off they are from you, lol
