Got hit with 16 inches here in Central NJ. Two days of digging out. :cheers:
 
I wish that was up here in NH where we could actually, you know, use it. The skiing has been marginal as of late!
 
We have about 7-8" in North central NJ near Morristown

We had about 3 feet a few weeks ago, but have since lost about half to warm-ish rainy weather. Now it's back to being cold and is currently lightly snowing outside.
 
It's hard to tell as the winds were pushing around. I didn't get a good reading from cleaning may car off 3 times.
Each time, it had about 2-3" so I'd say about 6".
I'm live near the border of Sussex and Morris county. Where we usually get more snow than southern NJ...
I guess it's their turn for the deeper snow.

I went in early to work yesterday and ended up coming home at 7PM as the store closed early because the weather.

Cobra....agree....got about 16" outside of Trenton....I was laughing because just a day prior, the projected snowfall for us was 1-3 inches on Accu weather....that went to 3-6, then 4-8 and then 6-12 in less that 24 hours.....even then they were wrong...I am convinced the only way to accurately predict the weather is with a ground hog.
 
Have to go to the grocery store for milk and bread when it snows, guess it is a southern thing

I work with a fellow from Maine who says people were crowding the stores before every storm buying French Toast; bread, milk and eggs.

As to the thread topic, we were supposed to get 6 to 10 inches of light, fluffy snow from Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. At work, an email was sent out saying we didn't have to be at work at the normal 8 a.m. but would be expected to be in later after the roads cleared. I took work home so I could be productive during the morning and turned my alarm off to catch a little extra sleep. When I woke up, there was no more snow than the dusting I drove through to get in my garage. You could still see the tracks.

D'oh. Got going quickly and made it to work along with a bunch of other surprised folks. We're still getting the single digit cold overnight just no extra snow. This time.
Cape Cod and Southern New England got hit hard but North of Boston was spared.
 
Got an air inversion going on right now, no snow but airport snow of about 1/8th". So many times around here we'll get early snow around Thanksgiving and then almost none for the rest of the winter. Drives the ski resorts crazy ;)

No, they do it in New England too. I don't remember the run on bread and milk before 1978 when we had a blizzard that shut down the state for a week.


As for this storm, we got 2 or 3 inches. We got more last Saturday when they forecast snow showers.
 
That sucks for my family my dad has to go to buffalo once a weak by car for work. He is managing the university at buffalo project :):):)

Shouldn't be too bad. They keep on top of the roads pretty well around here. We can get 4-6 feet and main roads are cleared out in a day. I love it when they bust out the giant truck snowblowers.

Predicting snow fall amounts in the Boston area is fun due to the warmer ocean to the east and the colder land mass to the north and west.

Last Saturday in Salem MA we were supposed so get 1"-2" got about 4" but in Acton while CMASS has its Winter Follies Launch it snowed an inch an hour for 6 hours....we stopped after 2".....

Yesterday we were supposed to get 8"-12" on the Northshore..... we got 4".....but 20 miles south on the Southshore they got 18"......

approximately 14" in my front yard which matches the NWS totals for my town pretty closely, and the Philly airport which isn't that far. Nice as work got canceled yesterday, and as I don't have a laptop, I didn't have to work from home.
