We work with numbers all day long here as meteorologists at WeatherNation, so let’s recap the snow event along the East coast this week.
First, some of our top videos in case you missed them:
18 inches: Top snowfall amount (so far) in Bayville, New Jersey and Brick Township, NJ
76 miles per hour: Top wind gust observed on Nantucket Island, MA
0.50 inches of ice accumulation: Brunswick, Georgia
950 millibars: Lowest central pressure of the storm system
59 millibars: The observed 24-hour pressure drop within this storm
Curious about the historical context of this system impacting the East Coast? Interestingly, there was a similar system WPC found that dated back to–oddly enough–January 4, 1989. pic.twitter.com/WcNbJUp2yp
