3 inches on pavement in Belle Mead so add another half inch at least on grass
It's all about the intensity of the snowfall. It'll stick at 35F at midday in April with over 1" per hour snowfall ratesThree miles West, it's sticking. Dammit.
Did you guys also get the sleet on the bottom? Made shoveling a pain as the bottom inch or so was like concrete. I assume that doesn't affect plowing much, but maybe it does - any impact on you? Anyone who leaves that on the ground is going to regret it tomorrow morning as it'll be frozen concrete. Glad I did a first shovel before it was too deep.3 inches on pavement in Belle Mead so add another half inch at least on grass
was going to ask myself.So inquiring minds want to know if it's Rock or bac pulling the puppet strings on Sweet Pea. Do tell. You're going to be plenty busy plowing today, I think. We just had plows go by here and it's really coming down.
Just noticed that the NWS-Philly had updated their snowfall map earlier, catching up as the NW areas have really overperformed. Also, the 6" line is now down to 276/195. NWS-NYC also upped totals esp NW areas.This updated storm total forecast from news 12 actually looks really good taking into account what's fallen so far and radar trends and short term forecasts - not too different from the NWS most recent map I had posted earlier and both look to be doing better than the models at 6Z that I discussed around 5 am, which were showing a lot more snow along/S of 195/276. This storm has not been the finest hour for the models.
Dear snow gods, not jinxing things in any way, but it has let up significantly. Very light snow now. Is it a dry slot? IDK. Is it the end of the accumulation? Hope so.It's all about the intensity of the snowfall. It'll stick at 35F at midday in April with over 1" per hour snowfall rates
Didn't get sleet. It just changed to snow about 4am. I did my driveway and threw salt down. Bigger sidewalks wwe will use big snowblower. I'm sure town will plow chunks onto the sidewalks. Getting by garage doors is bacs job by hand. Maybe use push snowblower on customers front walks to door depends on how energetic bac is.Did you guys also get the sleet on the bottom?

Zarrow says dry air moving in about 10:30 then things moving out by noon.Dear snow gods, not jinxing things in any way, but it has let up significantly. Very light snow now. Is it a dry slot? IDK. Is it the end of the accumulation? Hope so.
I just drove into town. I can see the difference in 1 mile. Slushy and sticking more.Three miles West, it's sticking. Dammit.
Letting up here. See @RocktheRac above. One part of our driveway has a light covering. The other part is black.I just drove into town. I can see the difference in 1 mile. Slushy and sticking more.

Still coming down strong in Essex County . Just did a first pass on the driveway, about 4” accumulation. Thankfully very little sleet at the bottom.Dear snow gods, not jinxing things in any way, but it has let up significantly. Very light snow now. Is it a dry slot? IDK.

Man that sucks, and saw the Roxbury report at 8". #'s loves snow, he will come up and help you guys shovel.Still coming down strong in Essex County . Just did a first pass on the driveway, about 4” accumulation. Thankfully very little sleet at the bottom.
Next is tidal flooding. Didn't see much . High tide is about 45 mins. I should be just fine but there may be a delay getting to the beach area.Letting up here. See @RocktheRac above. One part of our driveway has a light covering. The other part is black.
How about down the shore here near Belmar/Manasquan. Seems to be stalling out. Very large intermittent flakes falling but little accumulation.Still got a few hours of heavy stuff to go through for most of CNJ/NNJ/SENY/NYC/LI and combined with temps staying right around 32F have allowed the snow to accumulate easily with minimal melting, which is what I expected to see based on the models. Nice illustration from this guy...
not much ice under hereDid you guys also get the sleet on the bottom? Made shoveling a pain as the bottom inch or so was like concrete.

Sweet Pea is fluidI found a clue...what I suspected...wait...that is from roc and not sweat pea.
Sweat Pea is BAC and not ROC
Yeah because they blew it when they closed schools on that Friday nothing storm.The purpose is to allow the district to protect against the complete bust of a storm. The decision time and notification to be a bit later in the morning, and they can get the day in if at all possible. Most districts in Central NJ are on their last day, or are eating into spring break with this one.
No, not even close.Dear snow gods, not jinxing things in any way, but it has let up significantly. Very light snow now. Is it a dry slot? IDK. Is it the end of the accumulation? Hope so.
Al Michaels asked me a few years ago if I believed in miracles. Maybe Seat Pea really is a dog.Sweet Pea is fluid
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😉probably 3 hours to go and we will wind up with 4-6 in my parts
Barely snowing in Pway
As of 9:30 am 4.5" of snow on the ground at 32F as we only got 1/2" over the last hour, due to being stuck in what looks like a subsidence lull. Might keep us from getting above 6" if this doesn't end soon.Been snowing pretty heavily the past hour, so as of 8:30 am we have 4.0" on the ground, so that was 1.75" the past hour, which is ripping. Just did my first driveway/sidewalk shovel and that's heart attack heavy snow, especially the bottom half which has the sleet/wetter snow. The snow the past hour has to be greater than 10:1 ratio snow - much drier and gorgeous dendrites. 32-33F right now.
we have had tidal flooding every day for the last 8 days now and continued to happen over the next couple days. Hard rain all night and its just starting to snow a little here but not stickingNext is tidal flooding. Didn't see much . High tide is about 45 mins. I should be just fine but there may be a delay getting to the beach area.
so in the past hour, we have actually have less on the pavement than an hour ago...maybe 2.8 inches its melting and compacting and with the lighter intensity and temps now 343 inches on pavement in Belle Mead so add another half inch at least on grass
Blizzard conditions in lower manhattan. About 2 inches in unshoveled areas when I walked into the office an hour ago.
