HOLY SHIT FRANK CHANGE THE SCROLL. PUT GODZILLA IP. WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO. pics are neighbors house 50 yards away and the trees in my yard 40 feet away. Whiteout

Wow, nice pics man!!! Careful out there.

This storm was maybe 50 miles away from being a Godzilla. If NYC was included in the higher amounts I would have pulled the trigger. It is definitely one for you (and others).

Dtone I don't know why I am working or why I came in today but I can't even see the tarmac or Terminal C cuz I'm at Terminal B foot past 5 minutes to win has really picked up very very heavy snow

You went to work to ensure Sroc gets home safely lol. Amirite?

Yeah I don't know why I went to work I guess I have no life LOL guys is so bad out there I cannot see the air traffic control tower either I'm not exaggerating I'm going to try to take a picture and send it to you but stay safe everyone what a great storm so far

Snow and wind up here in Hopewell Jct, looks like I will get the 3-6 that was forecast.

Bridgewater, winds definitely here. I would say about 1.5 -2 inches. Surprised winds made it this far inland along with some heavier bands recently.

Yeah I just went outside. As njweatherguy said it’s deceptively bad. We may be up to 2” now but it’s all blowing around so it’s nasty.

Going to over perform here its got to be close to 10 inches here.

make sure you and everyone else send in reports to your local NWS WFO.

Nothings flying in or out in this is it?

It is absolutely ripping in JC

These bands are swinging through

i'm not getting Mt Holly's thoughts with this. i'm only in 2-4" but with the blowing, drifting snow and severely low visibility you'd think they go from winter weather advisory to winter storm warning. i have no idea what criteria fits anything anymore. they've gone with a warning for less lol

Just watched PIX and they have From Western portions of Passaic county through Queens and Brooklyn 6-9"
, west of this 3-6" and east of Queen's 12"plus and snow lasting until about 4-6pm

Winter storm warning in Upton area, NYC, LI and N&W suburbs is 6 inches or more, in Mt' Holly area it's 5 inches or more.

Frank, This has to be the heavy snow band you are talking about. Very Heavy and the winds don't help

How much do you have, Jim? I still don't think I have even eclipsed an inch in Fishkill by eye lol

NYC area east and Jersey Shore will all be 12-20”. Highest east. I’m approaching double digits already. I’m sure I’ll be at 10” by 11:00 am. My buddy who is a cop in Queens just called me to say the roads are nearly impassable.

AND THE WORST IS THE NEXT 4-5 HOURS! Do the math ::

Nice

Where the hell is that heatmiser Math and WHERE IS GODZILLA

Rb just an inch here but thinking this will go until around 300 and should get 3-6.  What time do you think this ends up here? radar looks good.

Frank, when do you anticipate this shutting down for eastern LI?

almost whiteout conditions IMBY.....LOL.......Can't wait to shovel later

Just got in from Some Snowblowing (more for fun). 7" and 25 degrees here in Deer Park Long Island.
