4" on the ground as of 11:15 am and it's now 27F and snowing moderately. At this point, I'm expecting 7-8", based on radar trends - looks like at least another 3-5 hours of ~0.75"/hr snowfall on the way. NW extent of the snowfall has only moved SE about 30-40 miles over the past 3-4 hours, from the Scranton area to the Mt. Pocono area, when it was expected to have sunk SE much further by now. That's why they raised the warnings for the Lehigh Valley and Warren/Morris, as those places are now likely to get 6" - could even get that in Sussex, too. And there's plenty of subtropical moisture streaming up towards us - if it doesn't get shunted SE faster, we could actually get 10" or more in most of the area.
Just went out and shoveled the driveway. Good idea since the snow's pretty heavy. I'd guess 3-4 inches but as usual the wind makes it difficult to guess.
Raods were fine at 7:15 am when I got here.... Haven't ventured out since then....Originally posted by RULoyal:
Don't know if it's close to where you work but this is Rt 46 at Green St, Teterboro as of a few minutes ago
US 46 Eastbound at NJ 23 Southbound, Wayne

4 inches in Belle Mead...some areas are getting heavy bands of snow...parts of nw jersey actually reporting no snow....still have several hours to go through
Radar showing heavy snow band diagonally from about northern Mercer up to Bergen County, from about I-95 northwestward to slightly north of Rte 80. We're getting heavy snow in Bridgewater.
Have to imagine the Hillsborough Deli MILFs are highly anticipating receiving 8 inches from Winter Storm "Thor" [my first Hillsborough Deli MILF joke!]

Snow has stopped in Somerville after 5 inches while radar shows its snowing...dry air eating things up.....hopefully this it but not sure as we still vould get another period...keep our fingers crossed
Still snowing in Rumson. It's a very fine snow, but coming down at a steady rate. Radar is showing that there is still a lot to come.
Same here. I thought it was over and now it has kicked in again, small flakes but coming down hard. 25 degrees out. I have 6" so far.
Went outside to shovel at 1:15 pm and we were up to 6" and down to 24F. Took an hour to shovel and for most of that hour it was pouring heavy snow with visibility a little less than 1/4 mile (not as heavy as the 2.5" per hour 25:1 snow we got a few weeks ago) and my measurement at 2:15 pm was 7". Wow!
It's now down to 23F/21F with 92% RH, but with 20 DBZ radar echoes overhead, it's it stopped snowing. Turns out I hit the "drywall" where precip was showing by the Ft. Dix radar, but wasn't actually reaching the ground (virga) due to infiltration of cold air from the NW drying the surface out and leading to sublimation of the falling snow.
Anyway, the linked radar from EWR clearly showed the 20-30 mile wide "dry line" approaching from NW to SE, engulfing me in dryness from about 2:05 to 2:45 pm, while the Ft. Dix radar showed 20-25 DBZ virga (probably because the beam is "lower" and more local for the airport and "saw" the lack of precip better). FWIW, the 0.20 reflectivity (48 mile range) worked best for me, probably since I'm only 15 miles away. Bookmark worthy. Time to go measure again (been working)...

Back edge is getting closer from pennsy
Those south of belle mead and east toward middlesex are getting good banding but it looks to not move north anymore
