Just came inside a few minutes ago after shoveling and taking the son sleigh riding.

 

[RU848789]

As of 8 pm, we have 5.0" OTG which is 1.5" the last hour - that's pretty heavy snow. Pounding here now. Still 25F. Very heavy band on our doorstep.

As of 9 pm we have 5.75" OTG - slowed down a bit the last 30 min with the radar break; hoping it picks back up soon. Pretty happy so far. Would love to get to 10". 26F now.

 

[RU848789]

HRRR has been very good so far and still sees a lot of snow left...

 

[Ronnie_B]

Sleet in Sayreville

 

[IL Lusciato]

Slowing down in Newark already. Still coming down but very light. Hoping it picks back up.

 

[bac2therac]

a bit of a heavier band clipping me heading into middlesex county so those to the east of me will get some action

[bac2therac]

[RobotHunter]

Sleet in Morris County for hours now.

He always seems to bust on the high side. Two hours ago he was mocking ppl concerned about the dry slot.. not a fan of his

 

[bac2therac]

so i guess for several hours we will have some on and off precip which will waver back and forth between pixie dust and icy mix depending on the intensity. Some believe that we will get a shot at accumulating snows tomorrow morning sometime I guess after 5 AM but will we is the question or who gets it

Windward elevated portions north of 80.

9 inches in Mount Olive so far not much in the way of sleet here.

so you arent buying into that stuff down south coming up?

 

[NickRU714]

The storm is already a bust. Might get 7 inches in Mount Olive. Thank god !

8 1/2 inches on my balcony and still coming down in Mount Olive.

Hmmm...something isn't adding up here.....

 

[OTBOTOR]

My tiny patio has drifts about 18 inches deep on the edges and the center is bare pavement. Windy!

 

[Degaz-RU]

Dry slot covering almost all of NJ now. The only way this isn’t a bust is if we get wraparound snow or that precip in DC makes its way up here

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Just walked out onto my balcony. Very windy, no question, but what hit me in the face wasn’t snowing or ice. Something in between And we don’t have much more than 4 inches I think at this point. I could be wrong however I’m 12 floors up ha ha Ha!

Did you read my response to #'s also ?

Make sure you have a parachute on just incase .

Column is warm. There is no SGZ. South of 80, its over, maybe an inch or two more. Enjoy the wind and graupel.

 

[newell138]

Nothing but wind and sheets of rain the last 5 hours. High tide was an hour ago and my street is flooded. I’m in the middle of the block so only a couple inches of water by me but about a foot at the end of the block

 

[anon_ivydyf0amkzay]

My friend in state college (fellow RU alum) said he measured 13” and snowing hard (22:30 your time)

Ok, it is snowing hard he said AND WHAT measured 13 " ? Never mind I don't care to know !

 

[RU5781]

Enough time to grab a pint at airport bar and catch your connection. 🍺

Didn’t make it. They closed the door on me as I was sprinting to my gate.
I rented a car and I’m currently on Rt 57 heading to Champaign. Fun times!

 

[Knight Shift]

Here in Howell, just got done shaking off the 32 Green Giant Arborvitaes I planted last year, they were looking real top heavy. Anyway measured in a few spots while getting completely covered in snow. Consensus, a good 6 1/2" of unexpected snow and no rain yet.

Quite a difference. Our driveway is mostly black now with a light coating of slush.
And @RU_DIO is about 1-1.5 miles west of me, and had 1.5" at 8 p.m. The poster in Belmar said all rain.

 

[Knight Shift]

we will see if we get into any in the early morning hours, still a potential but looks like just some sleet and icy mixture at times but it wont be able to pile up too much

The NWS graphic for Wall is calling very up to 60 mph gusts, and heavy rain (about 1.3 in) through 6 a.m. Checked the future radar and it concurs. Hope all of our slush washes away.

 

[bac2therac]

yeah I think the most you need to worry about is the wind

 

[ClassOf02]

This thing is a definite bust in Lambertville. Maaaaaaaybe 2” out there. It’s been a combination of no precip or light sleet for hours. Snowblower is staying in the shed unless something crazy happens overnight.

 

[RU848789]

As of 9 pm we have 5.75" OTG - slowed down a bit the last 30 min with the radar break; hoping it picks back up soon. Pretty happy so far. Would love to get to 10". 26F now.

Things slowed down a lot here. Only up to 6" with only 1/4" the last 2 hours, due to lack of precip and sleet; up to 27F.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

11:10 PM. Have no idea how long it’s been but absolutely nothing coming down right now.

 

[RUJohnny]

Ran the snowblower to clear 4" in Readington. Didn't need to, but for the first time in two years, def wanted to.

 

[RocktheRac]

Just came back from plowing 2 of my commercial properties. There was no more than 4 1/2 in these lots. It was a breeze. Sleeting hard tho as I finished up.

 

[OTBOTOR]

Sleet, sleet, sleet

 

[T2Kplus20]

so i guess for several hours we will have some on and off precip which will waver back and forth between pixie dust and icy mix depending on the intensity.

+1
Nothing but pixie dust here over the past few hours. We already done?

 

[RocktheRac]

I wonder if I told the owners of my commercial lots that we were going to get over a foot like someone on here if I still can charge them for clearing 1 foot even if we only got 5 inches.? lolololol

 

[OTBOTOR]

So what are the odds the sleet in NENJ and NYC turns back to snow and we get more inches before this wraps up?
