Blizzard of 2008

Ok, well it wasn't really a blizzard, but considering it's October I'll let it slide. I don't mean to sound stuck up but I think I nailed the forecast very well. Here are some of the snow totals:

Sussex NJ (450 ft) -Trace
Sussex NJ (1,803 ft) - 14' inches
Netcong NJ (950 ft) -5.5 inches
Netcong NJ (1,100 ft) -10 inches
Roxbury NJ(650 ft) -2 inches
Dover NJ (450 ft) -Trace
Atlantic city (10 ft) -Trace

As you can see some town snow totals range from 0 to 14 inches because of elevation. Most of Sussex didn't get much accumulation unless you were near that 1,000 foot mark. Now I have no idea how Atlantic City got a trace but I consider that more impressive than high point with 14 inches. It's not unheard for October snow at high point, but Atlantic city? Needless to say the past four days have been breaking records and Netcong NJ broke 13 records in the past 4 days!

Oct 25: RECORD RAINFALL 1.63

Oct 27: RECORD SNOWFALL (T) / RECORD SNOWPACK

Oct 28: RECORD SNOWFALL (5.5) / RECORD SNOWPACK / RECORD LOW HIGH

Oct 29: RECORD SNOWFALL (T) / RECORD SNOWPACK / RECORD LOW HIGH
Oct 08’: RECORD SNOWFALL (5.5 = T2) / RECORD SNOWPACK(3 days) / MOST DAYS WITH SNOW / MOST DAYS WITH SNOWPACK
Ah Yes, 10 inches of snow in Netcong NJ!
