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

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.

Thanks for your reply Larry . Seems like you are lumping everyone into some sort of bucket and label . I am not part of what you claim in your rant . I was actually telling people be positive and unite didn’t expect to be attacked for it by you Larry. Hope you have a good day.

Well, if you were part of the solution 4 years ago, and accepted the election, and are now asking me to do the same (I am of course), then my comment was not directed at you, and apologize for lumping you in.

If people want to celebrate Trump being inaugurated I'm not going to chastise them for simply doing that. I'm rooting for the president of the US to succeed.

The initial deportation plan looks fine, and taxes will stay low. So far, so good.

However, more than a few of the people in here, including the OP, have a track record of doing the opposite. I think we both know that.

Conspiracy theorists need to provide a motive for the NFL to favor the Chiefs - and don't say the three peat because the theories have been here before this season. If the NFL is going to try to control the narrative why are their largest market teams like the Jets, Giants, Bears, Cowboys not benefitting?
441.17 million Swifities worldwide all watching to get a glimpse of their Goddess that normally wouldn't watch. I'd say that's a pretty good motivation. Those eyeballs are worth millions upon millions to the NFL and yes, the owners want to squeeze every dime they can out of the world.
