We were slammed with snow. I measured a foot in my yard early this morning. Nearby West Milford, NJ recorded 19 inches. Power was out from about 4PM to 2AM. Half a million in NJ alone were without power at one point. Hard to believe that three weeks ago it was 84 F and two months ago we were cleaning up from Irene, and now this.
That's quite amazing. I imagine that snow will all melt before you'd need to shovel it? MOST different here with the 9.30pm temperature at 15.3C and unlikely to fall much. Tomorrow could be the mildest Halloween in 229 years!

So the 95/6 winter...do you remember the date? I remember late December and late January both having decent snow, but I never thought to measure it. I was geeky enough at the time to count 21 days of consecutive snow cover in late January/early February that year, however. It was that winter and the endless sunny days the summer before playing football on the dried-up reservoir bed that got me first interested in weather.
Actually it was January 1995 when I measured 40 cm of snow (not exactly 16 years then).. melted quickly mind you but was deep nonetheless. 95/96 was pretty bad though.

Yeah we probably could have gotten away with not shoveling. The high today was 47 F, but everything will re-freeze tonight. Forecasted low is 23 F. Not close to the record of 17 F, but still cold nonetheless, considering we struggled to even reach freezing most of the month. I expect the snow will be gone this week since days will be back in the 50s.
Funny that you mention winter of 1995-1996, because that was there year my town received nearly 30 inches of snow in the Blizzard of 96. The official station recorded 24 inches, but the higher elevations usually receive more.
Power's out since 6 pm yesterday. My town and everything for at least 10+ miles has no power. All traffic lights and streetlights out, too. Only the university has power, which is where I am now.
No heat in my apartment and it's predicted to go down to 23° tonight.

That sucks. Many in my town are still without power. I was lucky this time and only lost it for about ten hours. Woodstove keeping the house warm since we haven't ordered oil yet.
I don't remember ever seeing snowcover while the trees were in leaf - do you have a camera?
I took a bunch of photos this morning of snow on trees in leaf. We got less than a foot of snow, we got some rain mixed in. I'll post those photos later; I'm going to post from pre-snowstorm foliage photos I took on Friday.
We had light snow the night before. Some was still left on the hills:
Power lines got in the way of that photo. If we had them underground like they do in the UK (or NYC) we'd have electricity right now.
Hope you get your power back soon nei and thanks for the nice pics too
