OT: Moderate to Significant Snow (and some rain SE of 95) for Sunday, 1/19.

Im leaning toward 3-6 across central jersey to cover the bases..4-8 north of 78..2-4(leaning lower) monmouth down to inland south jersey..2-4 philly..coating to 2 inches coast. As always there will be a lollipop that overpwrforms somewhere

We lose some pavement accumulations early with snizzle and low intensity but main show is 4-8 pm

How much banding to the north and then who is in the subsidence. Its a quick mover but we will have one inch an hour rates at some point.

Not from the HRRR, lol. HREF is quite high for all as is the Euro-AIFS (4-7" for most), while some models show 2-4/3-5", so a forecast of 4-6" for the 95 corridor and most of CNJ seems decent to me still (and 5-7" NW of 95 and 2-4" towards the coast). We'll see of course.

Biggest questions to me for 95 and SE of there are: i) how much front end rain/mix does an area get (and when do temps get cold enough to accumulate easily), ii) how much total precip do we get, and iii) where do the heaviest bands set up after about 3 pm, when the heavier precip is supposed to fall.

Those aren't really going to be answered by the models anymore as there's too much variability across them, so it's nowcasting time, i.e., watch the radars, the soundings/temps, and the sky of course...and time to enjoy it, for me, whether it's 3" or 7" (my low and high range for my house).
To be fair these are exactly the times to use the HRRR and you have often used it before here

In not necessarily a big fan of it but it definitely throws out a case for lower end. Also that post on AW by Jet guy a red tagger about tempering accumulations was noteworthy

If this is suppose to mix with rain, you think there’s a good chance it will harden overnight with the cold temps? Better off to remove what you can late evening early night?
bac and I and others have mentioned this and I can't reiterate it strongly enough. Anywhere that gets some mix/rain before the snow will likely have a slushy layer on the bottom and if that isn't shoveled by 10 pm or so, it's going to quickly become a solid icy mass as temps fall through the 20s this evening and won't be above 20F again for maybe 3 days.

Areas to the NW of 95 that get all snow are likely to not have this issue, unless they put salt down first, which will create some slush underneath.

I’ve got my daughter’s 4th grade travel hoops game in Manalapan at 5pm. We live about 30 mins east of there, so will need to drive an hour round trip at 4 and at 6. I really hope it’s cancelled, would rather put a fire on and watch the football games.
Also not sure how safe it is driving in sleet/ice/snow. It’s all back roads. Think Manalapan around 4-6 will be ok or ice/mess?
Between 4 and 6 pm will likely be the worst conditions for everyone, including Manalapan with moderate to heavy snow by then, unless every model is wrong. Unless you love driving in the snow, I'd watch some football, lol.

Wow, the game's in the bag for the Chiefs

They don’t, but she’s added viewers that wouldn’t normally watch. My local dick’s (in California) had a Taylor/travis mannequin display at one point. Thus, the conspiracy theory.
I find that sports conspiracy theories are just convenient crutches for fans who simply hate certain teams.
