[RocktheRac]

I thought the brothers rac were out of this thread?
Anyways, how about some deli pics?

All rain here in Wall. Heavy rain.

I'll chime in as I like to troll #'s. Bac is officially out.

 

[Knight Shift]

You guys working?

 

[RocktheRac]

You guys working?

Not yet. We'll wait till its over. Its Saturday.

3.25" as of 4:00 am, so 1" per hour rates the last 30 minutes, as the intensity has let up some; still snowing moderately, but it's starting to look like the back edge of the heavier precip may only be 1-2 hours away. 4-5" is looking likely.

Intensity definitely let up some the last hour. Have 3.5" as of 5 am - could also have been some compaction, as this is heavy, wet snow (maybe 8:1 ratio if I had to guess). One more good band to rotate through, so maybe we get to 4" . Still 31F.

 

[RocktheRac]

Friend was heading to work in PA and I asked where the rain line was and he said Lawrenceville.

This, in the 2-6 as well. No snow.

 

[RutgersUnion]

We have a pretty good amount of snow on the ground here in Manhattan. Taking the kids to the park to go sledding right now.

 

[ScarletteK80]

In Somerset this am is NASTY(Easton AVE/287 area). Plows just went through for about the 3rd time.

 

[Scarlet dollar]

One mile South of the turnpike in Monroe. Nothing on the ground or roads. A touch of slush on my windshield.

 

[OTBOTOR]

Couple inches in Jersey City so far. Biggest snowfall since November.

 

[Jm0513]

This, in the 2-6 as well. No snow.

No snow? I'm in Essex Co we got maybe 3 inches. It's still snowing..:grimace:

No snow. All rain, all night. Works for me.

After a little nap, just shoveled during the last throes of the storm, which was nice. Final tally (still snowing lightly, but doubt we'll get much more) was 4.25" here in Metuchen vs. my 1-3" forecast with no advisory - big difference north of the Raritan vs. south of the Raritan, where it sounds like it was mostly/all sleet. 31F still.

This brings me to 18" for the season and with another 6" tomorrow, I'd be up around 24", which isn't far from our 28" normal. Could still make it with one more snowfall...

 

[RU848789]

No snow. All rain, all night. Works for me.

Not even any sleet? Was it freezing rain at all or did you stay above 32F. Reports were that it was all sleet south of the Raritan probably down to close to you...

 

[RU848789]

Have you slept at all since last night?

Had about a 90 minute nap. And will likely repeat all this Sunday night, although I think that snow will be over before 4-5 am...

 

[RU848789]

Nice - Central Park just reported 4". I used to love when our son was young and we'd go sledding every storm. Our favorite place, once he got older, was Schooley Mountain in Long Valley - amazing place with a 200 foot vertical for sledding - place would always be packed with kids and MILFs, lol...

 

[RU4Real]

Not even any sleet? Was it freezing rain at all or did you stay above 32F. Reports were that it was all sleet south of the Raritan probably down to close to you...

I didn't stay up to watch. The trace evidence that exists would suggest no frozen precip of any kind. Radar echos were showing us above the snow line for most of the night but temps must have been +32, because it was liquid by the time it hit the ground.

Interesting that the Sunday night event is, for now, watch criteria as opposed to warning. Mt. Holly is saying 4-8 N&W of the corridor, with sharp drop-offs below.

As I said earlier, in Monroe nothing on the ground. Just a slight touch of slush on my windshield. Every time I looked outside overnight, it was plain rain.

 

[T2Kplus10]

Have you slept at all since last night?

Probably not, and all for a measly inch or so. It's been a rough winter for snow lovers. Not much of anything here.....no shoveling, no plowing.

+1
Perhaps tomorrow will bring the only real snow of the year? Or perhaps it will be another bust? We shall see!

4.25". Suck it.

Interesting, would've thought you'd at least get some sleet. They're at watches instead of warnings, due to timing - typically they go to warnings when the event is "imminent" (typically, will be starting within 24 hours - so expect warnings and advisories with the 4 pm package). This one has definitely trended SE, which means you guys might get a few to several inches of snow with some rain too, when it looked like all mostly/all rain even just a day ago.

 

[T2Kplus10]

I'm sure the "trained spotter" in Metuchen is juicing those numbers, he always does so.

I have an 0845 flight out of EWR on Monday, so I'm not really interested in getting any snow.

Just went outside. It's actually ice on the windshield. Must have been a little sleet or freezing rain here.

 

[RU848789]

Well, for your sake, snow should be largely over by 5-6 am for most of NJ, including EWR - if that verifies, crews ought to be able to clear at least the major/secondary roads for rush hour.

 

[knightfan7]

Looks like a bit over 2 in Hillsborough. Heading over to the Hillsborough Deli soon to pickup some coffee.

Coffee or sightseeing?

Hey, I know you're a pilot and up on all kinds of aviation stuff - did you hear about the two SW Airlines planes colliding while taxiing on the runway at EWR a little while ago? Heard they now have a ground stop there.

Well, we did get another 1/4" with the last hour of light snow, so final tally (snow really looks to be over now) is 4.5". Significant overperformer for a change this winter.

Fender bender. The rule of thumb when taxiing is that you should give the widest berth possible to other ground traffic. Usually it works. The spacing around Terminal A can be a little tight, especially on the south side.

Both aircraft will be OOS for quite some time, of course. Any airframe damage necessitates a full C-check. This, on the heels of their uncontained engine failure last year, doesn't reflect well on the carrier, at all.

 

[Scarlet dollar]

Just got to work. Definitely a line through Monroe. Where I live off Applegarth rd, there is nothing on the ground. As I passed through Jamesburg towards the Spotswood side of town, the lawns and sidewalks had a covering, and the side of the road was slush. Many cars coming from the opposite direction had inches of snow on them.

 

[Rutgers1976]

Got about 5" up here in New Providence. Ground is warm, so the remnants are melting right away.

 

[mdk01]

4-5" in Eastern Bergen County. Stopped about 2-2 1/2 hours ago.

 

[e5fdny]

 

[rurichdog]

Bupkis in Yardville. I took out the garbage around 2 am, and it was pouring rain.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Haven't been outside yet, but from the back it looks like 5 inches or so up here.

Here's a shot I just took:

It's already melting.

Really? Here in Monmouth county I think we've only had about 3" total. It's been a real good winter. I'll be buying a snow blower the end of this winter at a real low, low price. Using the front loader to clear out our barns is just overkill and tears the pastures up too much.
