Absolute pouring rain in Fair Haven, eastern Monmouth county. The pouring rain has found an opening in my skylight in my sunroom and I have a solid leak coming down.
Anyone know a good roofer/skylight contractor in the area?

Ever since we bought this house it’s been nothing but issues.

I'd say about an inch in SB, can still see the sidewalk through the snow in front of the house. It's slowed down too from earlier, don't know how much is actually accumulating from what's falling. It'll really have to pick up consistently to get those high amounts beyond 5-6 inches to remove IMO.

yeah as I was saying before...the snow is sticking but seems like its compacting and melting somewhat rather than just stacking up on top of itself..just so wet...so its going to be hard to get accurate measurements on how much exactly fell

It is really coming down here - 2-3 inches an hour I'd have to say. Pics shortly.

Welcome to home ownership. We have poured over 50% of the purchase price of our house back in with renovations, but this was a huge gut/rehab job. We just did not think it would cost as much as it did.

Try Wilcox Roofing in Oceanport. My friend in Rumson just used them to fix a leaking flashing on his chimney, and he was very happy (this guy is picky).

Getting ready to shovel for the first time, so will be taking an initial measurement.

Just came in from letting the dog out, this snow is going to be horrible to move, even the non commercial snow blowers will struggle to move this very heavy, very wet snow.
Seems like 7-8 inches already in some spots here in NW Essex County.
Going out again soon to do the first pass , I'll probably wind up doing at least 3-4 passes the way it seems.
Wish I had invested in a much better , self propelled , commercial snow blower now. My $500 homeowners Toro struggles in this.

And so much for that Kuchera ratio - I don't even have to melt it down to tell you it's at least close to 10:1 (thought it would be), as it simply doesn't look that dense, plus hard to imagine getting a lot more than 2" per hour (if the ratio were 7:1, I'd have 3" at 10:1 - maybe it's that high, but I don't think so) , which we gave gotten in the first hour.

2" on the ground now since the noon start (and we had 3/4" on the ground around 8 am, which melted, but that counts) and 33F now.

And THUNDERSNOW! Where's Cantore when you need him. About to go run some errands...

D'oh! Spoke too soon, as the sleet mixing in certainly hasn't helped ratios (but as I've said many times, I'm a mass guy, not a density guy, lol). For the past hour I did some errands. Went onto Route 1 for a bit, then 287 and both were snow covered and getting bad and local roads in Edison and Metuchen are an adventure.

Back to the snow. About 1:30 pm or so started getting some sleet and then the past 20 minutes have been snow/sleet and surprisingly just moderate in intensity. Looks like that's about to change and hopefully we'll go back to all snow (50/50 now). As of 2:00 pm we have 3" of new snow on the ground, so only 1" the last hour. 3.75" total counting our 3/4" in the morning. And as I'm posting this, it's back to all snow and heavy.
