Snowamp5
We are having blinding snow squalls that are dumping no less than a 1/2" to an inch each one.........Currently 20 degrees, heavy winds...Anyone else have them?  Seems worse than yesterday for me.

Nothing yet here in southern CT, but the radar shows a pretty strong squall line on the way.  I'll let you know.

This is intellicast radar

and this is accuweather

which one is better to use?
NYBrit
I like to use the weather.com radar.  It performs well with snowstorms and with thunderstorms plus you can zoom right down to your area!

Also it doesn't seem to pick up as much virga as some other radars do.

satellite_eyes
yeah i hit some steady light snow all through morris county right into warren on my way home just now.  not even a dusting bc it's just blowing around.
Snowamp5
Stopped for now, 18 degrees, wind chill at 4, although to me it seems that the winds have died down a bit.  Just shoveled and cleaned off car. In my no wind zones, another 1 1/2 inches. Town plow just came by to treat roads.  Have a good night all!  My two and 1/2 men is on, by far the funniest sitcom currently on the air.(in my opinion) 
Stormchaser
Wow - just recorded another 40mph gust here. Third time today. I've been getting frequent gusts > 30-35mph in the past hour.
njblizzard
it took us all day to get 1/2 inch and we spent one week to track that storm. But you got 1 1/2" in hour from nowhere.

Glad I'm not the only one who likes the weather.com radar!  :biggrin:

One time during the summer i was outside washing my car and it actually showed up on the intellicast radar - it was crazy!   ::)

Yes TWC is very good.  I think we already have a consensus on that one.

Driving through Budd Lake this morning it was all white.  It was too dark to tell but there was maybe about 1/2"  Budd Lake always seems to get that.  I think they have their own lake effect.

BTW - these are snow showers, not squalls.  What snowamp gets are squalls.

Yeah i noticed budd lake always gets snow somehow and they get the most usually out of all the storms, but thats just because of elevation most likely.

Wow!! We have had amazing snow here in Westchester.  Coming down hard and the winds are still whipping and gusting probably up to 30 miles per hour.  :biggrin: :biggrin: We have probably picked up about 1/4 of an inch of snow in about an hour.  The only bad thing is that it makes the kids crazy in school talking about early dismissal. 
satellite_eyes
my wife said the deck was white when she left and we continue to get a good line still, well over an hour later.  i wouldn't be surprised if it's measurable.  i just have no way of knowing.

i've had several people tell me at least an inch in hackettstown.  this is coming from the town message board i post on.  easily believable from watching the radar.  salt trucks are out and visib was very low according to them.  crazy.

Almost 1/2" in West Milford in persistent snow showers for the past 2.5 hours.

about a 1/2 inch here in harriman,sun is out now.

There's approximately a 1/4" coating of snow on everything (including roads) here at my office in Summit, NJ. When I left my house in N. Plainfield at 8:30 am there were flurries.  It came down harder as I drove to work and it got even heavier as I went up the Watchung ridge/mtns.  Most of that 1/4" fell in a half hour.  It's slowed down now to flurries.

snowing moderately in Queens (Flushing) as per my family.
