Ace we may get 30 if it goes until 9pm what's your take

Possible with the rates we are getting right now and that killer band in PA that will swing through tonight

16" here in northwestern Hunterdon County, just south of Route 78 in Union Township.  Very low visibility and coming down hard.

i agree its starting to blow the drifts here now but it's almost white out in general

Beautiful snow growth.

Outside my building:

ZOO JUST RELENTLESS MOD TO HEAVY WIND DRIVEN SNOW! 1.5 - 2" PER HOUR

It is absolutely RIPPING here in Harlem. Noticeable increase in snowfall rates.

RAP additional snow

Measured 14 inches from backyard table deck. Hoping for 2 feet at least.

I'm almost afraid to say this, but we never got the wind they predicted. Yes, we have a steady 15 mph with gusts to 17-ish, but certainly NOT the 40, 50, 60mph they said was going to happen with this storm. Be thankful for small miracles, right?

14.5" here? hard to measure. How much more Frank?

Does anyone think we will get any thunder snow? I was looking forward to it!

If the RAP verifies...I don't even have words for this

17 in

Out my second floor apartment window. That lot and roadway were plowed within maybe the last 45 minutes. Blacktop visible in spots on the roadway.

Can't get images to work in mobile. :/

19.75 inches in Jackson, 3.5 foot drifts, and it is actually ripping right now!! Love this storm!!

30* light snow not to much last 2hours

The surface low is beginning to transfer to a secondary low southeast of the BM. We're likely done with any northern progression and bands will gradually begin pivoting SW to NE and slide east. Some of these bands could halt over a specific area for an extended period of time.



The 500mb low is over the Delmarva and will gradually begin lifting east-northeast. If PVA wraps into the coast that could enhance snowfall rates later this afternoon into the evening for those along the coast.



We're beginning to see +dendritic growth sneak into NE NJ.

Bridgewater NJ

Central Park came in with 14.7 inches a little while ago. That moves Jonas into number 20 all time destined obviously to go much higher.
