Consider yourself lucky. Here in Hyde Park I have zero and have been looking at virga all day. I'm happy that everybody else got blitzed but it's so damn frustrating condidering how this winter has gone. Evil or Very Mad

Vinny I am not sure but I do not think I have a lot more than that, its been only moderate here for quite some time, any reports out of this area? In some spots it was around the top of my boots which is about a foot. I think it may be a bit more, we have quite a few hrs to go and those bands are gonna rotate through here and all we need is a few hrs of nutty rates to get to where others are at.

The flakes have just gotten much bigger hence that dendrite growth, hopefully stays this way. Been kinda low key for a while now. And winds have not really been much of a factor surprisingly. Have we hit the height of the winds for this area?

Same here in Deer Park, we are seeing bigger flakes and steadier snow again..

Hyde I feel your pain. I've been in your situation more than once in the past few years. Hopefully the rest of this Winter will make it right for your location.

Winds will pick back up again if you get under one of the stronger bands. Im having the same prob Jman. Im only at 8.5"

Whiteout conditions

by **bloc1357** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:09 pm

Seems like the northern areas are having more than the areas progged to get the most, go figure.

Up to 15 inches. Snow really ramping up now!

by **mmanisca** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:10 pm

It's teaming here in Deer Park, wish I could upload a photo but I don't know how that happens!!!

by **jmanley32** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:10 pm

started again moderate to heavy bigger flakes continue.

by **dkodgis** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:11 pm

Sigh. If I needed to, I could walk on my roof. There is no snow on my tractor or truck to brush off. The dog can't leave footprints because there is no snow. Thanks to everyone here on the board, I get to see what I am missing. Down at my other house near Atlantic City, there are 65 mph gusts and 18 inches of snow. Atlantic City, like Sea Isle, is screwed with flooding. Expect to see a lot of cars suddenly come onto the used car market.

Just over an hour ago, I made a snowfall measurement of 13" here in Bellerose. It's probably a lot higher now with more to come!!!

Here is a picture of me, courtesy of my mother!

I've lived in my house here since 1998 This right now at 3:00 is the hardest I've ever seen it snow. All the bands seem to be converging towards me. 17" on the ground and PUKING right now. If I get to 20" I will be ecstatic. I hope some of you in N Central NJ and lower Hudson Valley see 30" +. Grat storm. Frank!!! give me a conservative estimate for how much more and an end time. Me and my neighbor are going to go out and plow!!!

by snowlover78 Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:11 pm

It has been snowing hard whiteout conditions, I am again going outside to do my 3rd clean up but the problem is it is snowing hard and blowing and drifting snow.

I couldn't figure out how to upload either.

by **sabamfa** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:12 pm

Heavy snow with large flakes. Possibly the heaviest yet. It's insane.

by **Grselig** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:13 pm

16 now. 2 inches came really fast. larger flakes with wind. Wayne, NJ

by **billg315** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:14 pm

The snow just got lighter here (not light, light-ER) for a few minutes and I thought I was in a lull. But then it picked right back up.

by **Joe Snow** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:14 pm

Heavy snow in Stony Brook pouring snow right now...............

by **WeatherBob** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:14 pm

Check out Wash/Balt NWS. Check out the summary of snow. When the map comes up scroll down for the list. Pretty amazing.

by **jmanley32** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:14 pm

getting near blizzard conditions like this morning, snowing sideways.

by **crippo84** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:16 pm

Just reported on TWC that NYC has set a total daily snowfall record. Not sure we'll catch the total storm snowfall record but with the rate it's currently coming down we shall see.

by Michael Rehman Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:16 pm

Blitzing right now under one of those yellow radar bands in northwest hunterdon county. 20" here and piling up by the minute. Can't see more than 100 feet!! Reminds me of the Blizzard of 1983 which is still my favorite, although this storm may be making a run at that title!!

by **frank 638** Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:17 pm

Just got back from outside the band of the heavy snow just moved in and the wind just increased. for a long time we haven't had a storm like this for quite a while
