You are probably right because I’ve been waiting for that and (and others) to move west all morning and they’re just not making it here. Lol. I’m lucky though, I’m getting moderate bands and decent snow here and probably end up with a few inches (exactly what I expected so pretty happy with that). West of me theyve been in light snow most of the morning I think.

25 degrees lightest snow fall of the day so far.

Just had our first power blink. Not long enough for the generator to kick on, but I’m sure it’s coming

Wow this band just keeps rebuilding!! Its absolutely as some of you would say puking snow lol

13.5" outisde

Here too I cannot see half a block down. its awesome regardless what the NWS says. No guys no towel throowing, food for thought the next one. I pray not so much uncertainty though LOL

I work in Springfield, NJ and live in West Orange. Have barely looked outside but was just wondering if Franks original forecast of 6-10 inches was still possible in this area. I know that the wind is really blowing around our building! Any feedback appreciated. Loving that I got the wake up call for no school for my kids at 5:15am. Seems like the main people posting today are NYC and east. Great storm for you all!

69 MPH wind Gust Barnstable, MA Via Ham Radio Wow

Just because it’s snowing doesn’t mean I should be subjected to watching this a**h*** DeBlasio on TV.

Look at the band that goes over NYC westchester and N to S, its actually widening Al not dying out! Woooohooo 35 dbz in there and im in the thick of it. Sorry or all the bi$$hing I did, next time I will wait.

Just ripping in Hopewell jct, it has the same look as that March blizzard without those totals.

My take is Frank’s updated snow map last night was/is right on the money for everywhere. If anything amounts may be higher than the 15” in some eastern locales but everywhere else seems on pace.

Is this slowing down or stalling

Easily 12-15 inches here

The roads are so bad here the cops closed the major state highway (Route 10) by my house.  And yet it is still Winter Weather Advisory here.  I don’t like or understand the new advisory/warning criteria.  

With the blowing and drifting it is literally impossible to tell how much snow has fallen.  I’m guessing less than 6 inches, but that is a very bad storm out there.  I don’t think “Advisory” adequately describes the conditions here.

Ace I measured 16 on top if my outside bar

This is insane! Wind is absolutely howling here. Total white out conditions.
