Solid snow for about an hour and a half here in Newark, but very little accumulation. Still coming down. And it's very cold.
OT: Could the snow drought end next weekend (1/7)? Maybe...

Them I suggest you go out and make your snow angel before the turnover.
Snowing moderately to heavily at times here and the temp has dropped to 33F. We have 1/2" of snow on the board (in the shade) and on the grass with 1/4" on top of the cars and the driveway in the front yard (which gets indirect sunlight, which won't be an issue shortly); road in front of our house now covered too. Maybe another hour of snow before either the rain from our SE or the sleet from our SW get here.
At Redd's now. No game tonight for me but I'll be watching. Crowd is building though.
Still snowing fairly hard at 4:20 in Pway. Road, driveway, tennis court fully covered with snow. Can still see top of grass but it’s mostly covered too.
NJ Transit will be busy tonight for many fans
Gone to a icy mix of rain and sleet. Maybe an inch or so on colder surfaces
Did well predicting imby

As of 4:30 pm, 33F and snowing moderately to heavily at times with 1" on the ground and 1/2-3/4" on paved surfaces. However, reports of sleet in NB, so we might not get much more We'll see, since I'll always remember 3/1/19, when the sleet line stopped at the Raritan for hours, giving us ~5" of snow and 1-2" of snow/sleet then rain in NB - but this line doesn't look like it's stopping, lol.
Here's a pic just b4 sunset... gorgeous out there - you can see the little kids sledding across the street in the distance. Not much of a hill, but was great fun when our son and his friends were under about 9 or 10.
1.65” just south of flemington before the change to sleet.
Pre-treating is such a joke, DPW sprayed the roads this morning and they were all covered within 30 minutes of the onset of snow with a marginal temp profile.

Those poor kids are desperate for a sledding hill and any snow ! I remember those days many years back so good on them for reading this thread and being ready to hit it quick and get their runs in!
Remember one year as a kid, must have been a big rain year. The stream in back of my folks' house froze and the ice covered over all the boulders and rocks so it was basically a short natural luge track. Sledding without snow ...or a sled.
What a blast. Only that one year, though. Outside that, the water would freeze but was never close to high enough to cover the rocks.
Looks like that mixing line has stalled just to our south (like maybe 2-3 miles south) for now; still snowing moderately here at 33F.
I'll have to add that to my humanitarian awards...
I lived next to a church so we used the plowed snow hills from their lot for small runs to sled down on and build igloos in. All of which sucked but were awesome in the 80s! Never forget the excitement of snow for the kids is what is wholesome and great. Ok sorry for that tangent
As of 5:00 pm, we have 1.25" at 33F and we've seen a miracle, lol, as the mix/sleet line stalled literally 1-2 miles south of us and it's still snowing moderately here, but I have to think that's almost over...
Here's my snow globe miracle that I'm sure @Knight Shift will appreciate. According to the dual-pol radar, below, the sleet line has collapsed to our SW below the Raritan, while the other radar shows that the rain/snow line has stalled about 5 miles to our SE. Still snowing with no idea for how much longer, but loving it!
It's pouring here currently. As for snow fall it's was just a trace and all gone now.
One of my craziest memories as a kid was sledding on a hill that started at the side of a local street and dropped maybe 20-30' on an empty lot over 150' before hitting the tree line, so we'd go down full bore, but then have to either pull up or find a couple of the trails through the trees - more than a few bumps, bruises and some blood.
But the crazy part was we used to also throw snowballs at cars going by (25 mph residential street) and then hop on our sleds for our getaway. Most people just kept going, but this one dude got so angry at my friend (we were all about 11-12), who was fearless and stood there daring the guy to get out of his car to chase him - and he did, catching my friend, putting him into his car and driving him back to my friend's house, where his mother thanked the man, then beat the living piss out of her son (he had some serious welts as she used a metal hairbrush). All of that would likely never happen today...
Sleet back to snow according to a very good poster near Sourland Mt. in Hillsborough...
Still snowing moderately as of 5:30 pm and we're up to 1.5" at a steady 33F. Sleet and rain still look like they're only ~5 miles S and SE of us.

Not accurate as its raining here
Thats in the mountain area...rain here down below
Not many surprises overall with this storm
(t2k probably trolling #'s with fake snow news lol)
Probably half of Middlesex County with well over 1" so far is a big surprise relative to the NWS forecast of nada to <1". And another guy in Hillsborough a little north of you is reporting snow, but those radars can certainly be inaccurate.
The general forecast of coating to 2 is verifying...at least that what I called..so not really a surprise
Easy drive to East Brunswick. Barely a dusting here. Heard from a good source only rain in Hillsborough near the Sourland Mountains.
2 inches in Montclair, and I don’t see any rain coming for several more hours
yeah thats not happening hoss. battle line of rain and snow. aint alot of snow but roads are sloppy. stay safe!
There is no mountains in Hillsborough just hills.
