January 23, 2016 Roidzilla Observations

I am in West Orange and I just don't know where I can possibly measure the snow. The wind and drifts are insane. I have a two-car width driveway and one side is barely any snow and the other side is like two feet!

On a separate note, when are we allowed to start drinking? I have two boys aged 11 and 9 that are loving the snow but we are all trapped inside.

Mother Nature tends to even things out. This is what the 12z Canadian is showing for next Friday, just 6 days out. Incredible. I'll have a write up in the long range thread tomorrow if this still looks like a threat. 

15 Inches, drifts to 3 feet

Met in Philly just spoke about this also.

 Who would of thought it? When we all watched the 0z GFS and CMC showing minor events on Thursday night, I was really starting to think it was game set match. The NAM however was persistent with a massive event. I was starting to think that it sniffed out something that the globals could not. Normally with any given storm the NAM will show a ridiculous event once or twice but 10 times in a row! When all is said and done there should be a case study on why all the globals were persistent in seeing the convection jumping like that. Despite the overwhelming depiction the globals were showing, it just didn't seem right at the time.

You can start anytime you like but give the boys a couple of years

Fed, where in West Orange are you?

2 minutes to Scotch....

Still mixing here but still accumulating I'm saying aorrox 14-16 inches

Snow picking up here again, 24*.

Hard to really tell, but it looks like give or take 10" otg.

A couple things. First, I just took my first official measurements. It was difficult because a lot of drifting. But best estimate was 16" measuring in a few wind shielded spots. Drifts as high as 3 feet in spots. Second, I started shoveling out my car (half of which was literally under snow), so that it will be easier later and so that the plows can carry away some of the snow behind my car. I got a lot cleared out but while doing it my heart started pounding out of my chest and I needed to take a break. I like to consider myself in decent shape. I run, workout, etc. Please, PLEASE use caution if you are shoveling this stuff and take it easy. It is taxing and I want everyone on here to be safe.

Frankie Nothing much mentioned about the full "Bella Luna" tonight on the added to the tides
