First snow tonight

[RocktheRac]

Where is RU #'s. It's the first of the year for statewide coverage from 1/4 to a dusting across NJ according to Dan Zarrow 101.5 FM. Rain and snow showers this afternoon ending near midnight. 1/4 to a coating areas North of the NJ Turnpike and a dusting from CNJ to the Shore Area.

 

[RU4Real]

This seems like kind of a stretch, calling it "statewide snow". Temps south of 195 will likely be too warm.

Frank Lombardo WCTC calls for snow showers late afternoon with some flurries tonight. Possible slippery conditions tomorrow morning. Nothing to worry about but this is the first event where most of the state will see white stuff falling at some point.

Very misleading thread title - I'd be excoriated for that one, lol. Will be too warm for any accumulating snow during the day from I-95 and points S/E of there (yes we may see some flakes, which is nice). Need to be N/W of 78/287 to see a little accumulation (dusting to 1/4") and in the higher elevations of NW NJ to see 1/2" to an inch of snow.

 

[bac2therac]

Oh how the standards have fallen

One simple request, gentlemen....

New storm, new thread.

Excellent use of excoriated. I don't see that one often

don't worry there are none on the horizon

 

[mikemarc1]

Nor'easter likely this weekend, but should be mainly rain.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Winter is Coming....

or a light dusting... maybe

 

[RU848789]

Well, there's a possible east coast storm coming on Sat/Sun, but it'll be a cold rain for everyone, except maybe some frozen precip in places like the Poconos, Sussex County, Catskills, etc. We're at least out of the torch pattern, which means we'll likely have some normal to below normal temps and some chances at snow the next few weeks, but no obvious significant snow on tap for at least the next week, which is as far out as I'd ever even speculate.

For today's "event" I got a chuckle out of this from AmericanWx...

Was just outside, and there was a very light bit of snow that came down for a couple of minutes. I'm stopping at the Shop Rite on the way home to grab a few gallons of milk and a couple loaves of bread. Hopefully we'll survive this.

Don't forget the eggs, you will need at least a dozen.. dozen eggs. Also a few cases of canned beans.

Also lots of toilet paper, at least 100 rolls.

That should get through Friday.

 

[RU4Real]

Mostly virga in Western MonCo.

 

[RocktheRac]

Snow showers here in Hillsborough. Two local banks have been presalted by their landscapers.

 

[RUDutch]

So the Taylor Ham people may have snow but the pork roll people won't.

 

[BigLou]

Snow showers here in Hillsborough. Two local banks have been presalted by their landscapers.

Given that the experts had predicted no snow below Rt 78, I find it alarming that it s snowing in Hillsborough. As I live about 1/4 mile north of 78, I now expect at least 3 feet by sundown.

Well now look what happened. No storm two threads. Happy now?

I can not only confirm that statement but I can also say that I'm about to go do something about it. Which I can do secure in the knowledge that I have quite a lot of toilet paper.

[bac2therac]

ALERT...HEAVY SNOW SQUALL ABOUT TO ENTER WESTERN JERSEY. THIS CAN LIMIT VISIBILITY TO A QUARTER MILE AND MAY PRODUCE AN INCH OF SNOW IN LESS THAN HOUR..BE ADVISED AS IT SWEEPS ACROSS THE STATE

 

[RU4Real]

You guys are desperate.

 

[bac2therac]

NWS in Mt Holly just released a special weather statement..if the squall holds together this could happen in some locations...however some locations are also above freezing at this time too

 

[bac2therac]

wow its ripping snow outside right now...wow. ground is dusted already after just 5 minutes

 

[RocktheRac]

Well there u go. The mods change the title thread on me a we get a pretty good squall come thru. At least I can work.

 

[bac2therac]

well I think Mt Holly exaggerated somewhat..the squall lasted less than 10 minutes and at least IMBY melted after 15 minutes because temps were still above freezing. I guess some colder areas did better

in the meantime no snowstorms in sight and this great pattern advertised by the smug and arrogant PB GFI looks to be off to a poor start

 

[RU848789]

Nice to see some flakes - got a little dusting in both Rahway and Metuchen; maybe 1/8" - this combined with the mega-storm on 12/23 (1/8" of sleet) puts me at a whopping 1/4" of frozen precip this winter. Got a little way to go to equal last winter's 50.8" in my backyard or even the ~28" average in NYC. As expected, Sussex and the Poconos got an inch or a little more of snow, Warren/Morris and the Lehigh Valley got up to 1/2" of snow and the next tier of counties to the SE, including along I-95 got dustings to maybe 1/4". S/E of I-95 looks like it largely got shut out, as the squall line fell apart. Not quite a "statewide snowfall," but better than nothing...

I bet RU#s has cried a few times recently with all the rain - just dreaming how it all could have been snow.

 

[Knight Shift]

They presalted the county roads in Monmouth county, or at least it looked that way. $$$$$$$.

Same in Passaic and Morris counties - the roads have a white haze on them now, and cars are blowing up white dust (not the snorting kind) on the highway.

Maybe mildone was driving through Passaic and Morris counties?

Thankfully no snow in Jersey City yet this year. Would be totally fine if it stayed that way.
