Exactly, childish BS. Way to set the tone “mod”I am rubber, you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.
The funny thing about that line it is grade school level. It will go right over his head because he is just kindergarten level. Maybe next year he'll get it.
Thought it was superb. Thought the NWS did quite well also, but your focus on the best forcing and banding being across Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth and northern Burlington was fantastic. I just wish I hadn't been 10 miles north of the best stuff, as I got 4" snow/sleet, while people just ~10 miles south of me got 6-8" of snow before the sleet came. Although if I had posted it, the usual folks would be calling bust for the parts that were off a bit, lol. I know I'm not a forecaster, but I was pretty happy with my call for my house: 3.5" of snow, then 1" sleet then 1-2" of snow on Friday - got 3" of snow and 1" of sleet today.I think that was the best forecast of my life.

I'm kind of wishing, now, that I hadn't gone out to clear away all the snow at 5pm yesterday. I now have an unclearable layer of ice everywhere.Moderate snowfall with huge gorgeous dendrites (for the band name folks, lol)! Should easily get at least an inch from this, judging by the radar.
That's why I put salt down before the freezing rain hit - I still got some ice in spots, but it was easy to clear it all around midnight and then I put more salt down and the freezing rain overnight didn't really accrete much with the salt down. Our cars on the other hand are encased in ice.I'm kind of wishing, now, that I hadn't gone out to clear away all the snow at 5pm yesterday. I now have an unclearable layer of ice everywhere.
Guess I'll wait and see if we get snow accumulation today, on top of the ice, and clear that off this evening so that the sun and temps above freezing Sat/Sun will hopefully melt away the ice.
My next door neighbor, whose snow I clear, along with the little old lady who lives next to him, was out spreading salt as I was finishing up yesterday before the game. He asked if I wanted him to put it down on my walks, but I declined, not wanting him to over-exert himself.That's why I put salt down before the freezing rain hit - I still got some ice in spots, but it was easy to clear it all around midnight and then I put more salt down and the freezing rain overnight didn't really accrete much with the salt down.

Maybe - if we get 1-2" of snow on top of the ice, that snow will likely melt, but I doubt the underlying ice melts on Saturday, as I'm guessing the melting rate with temps in the low/mid-30s with sun might not be enough for more than the snow on top. The sun will probably get to the ice on Sunday though. Or you could put down some salt, lol.My next door neighbor, whose snow I clear, along with the little old lady who lives next to him, was out spreading salt as I was finishing up yesterday before the game.

I would think it'll melt between Saturday and Sunday's sun anyway. But it'll be treacherous to walk on today and overnight, I would imagine.
We had pretty heavy snow at that time in Belle Mead (Montgomery) - why are you saying no? Radar showed it too - dark blue band.Um no
There was/is a thin fairly heavy band, especially with good snow growth aloft that was hitting the southern 1/4 of Somerset. It put down 1" per hour rates here for awhile and the follow-up band is close to that.Um no
Heavy snow in Hillsborough at 9:45
Brother fight.Um no
I'll clear any snow that falls on top of it later today. I'm hopeful that exposing the thin layer of ice under, with the snow cleared away, will allow the sunlight to melt the snow. I have no salt, but could ask my neighbor for some. He keeps trying to give me money for clearing snow from his yard which I keep refusing. Gotta take care of our neighbors.

I've been meaning to ask you two, do either of you live along Route 523, not too far from Pleasant Run Road? Up near the Round Valley area?
I drive past there a lot, on the way back from some of my long drives up into the northwest mountains. And I noticed a rather prominent display of numerous, large, politically oriented flags along the front of a fairly large property during the month or so leading up to the 2020 elections. Made me think of you, Bac, although from your posts, I believe you live father southeast of Neshanic Station, closer to 206.
It's in the general vicinity of Hillsborough, kind-a, sort-a.
Lotta huge MAGA flags in Hillsborough. The one on River Rd continues to be defaced every few months by unhinged dopes
Snow is essentially over for now and "only" got 1.0" (thought I might get more), which brings us to 5" for the "event" (I think yesterday and today are being counted together). I wonder if the midday almost-late-Feb indirect sun is doing a bit of work on the falling snow, even at 30F. I would expect this 1" to be gone by the end of the afternoon if we get no more snow. Radar shows more snow in SWNJ/SEPA, which will likely make it up here - could be another inch in that if it holds together (short range models are predicting another inch this afternoon for CNJ/NYC/NNJ).That was a quick 3/4" in about 40-45 minutes (about 1" per hour rates), although it's now just snowing lightly; however the radar shows another band coming in which isn't as big or as heavy looking as this past one, but should be enough to get us to an inch+. Could be treacherous on top of the ice, since people won't see the ice now when walking or driving and this fluff won't stop you from sliding - I know, I almost just fell.
The ones on the property I drive past were up for maybe a month - we're talking YUGE flags and about 10-15 of them, at least. It's a big property with a long frontage.Lotta huge MAGA flags in Hillsborough. The one on River Rd continues to be defaced every few months by unhinged dopes
True, that road had a lot of political flags. Along the routes I drive, there were lots of them for both candidates prior to the election.The run from Whitehouse down to Flemington (523) was filled with them a few months back. To counter that, there is the guy right next to RVCC that had his whole front yard filled with "Blue" and "Anti-Red" stuff. Hopefully we can all go back to hanging out the one flag that matters. RUTGERS!
Thank you. Isn't it interesting how the NWS made such a big deal about the icing earlier this week, and little mention of it at the end of this storm, and it wound up being fairly significant last night and this am? The "end of storm freezing drizzle after mid levels warm" phenomena is so common and frequently ignored while focus is on "will it be 4-8 or 5-10??!?"Thought it was superb.

By the way, almost every 0Z model right now (globals and mesoscale ones) is showing 1-2" from about 195 to 78 between about 4 am and 4 pm tomorrow and more than 2" north of 78, especially from NYC metro and NE-ward, where most models are showing 2-4". Maybe I can get that 1-2" I was hoping for and maybe the NYC metro and NENJ from Union up to Bergen can verify the 5-8" forecast from the NWS. Most got 3-5" today; Central Park only got 3.2", JFK got 4.3", EWR got 4.0".
Good point. I think it's because the icing was the "only" risk earlier in the week, whereas we had a major risk of 4-8" of snow/sleet for everyone, so they rightly focused on that. However, they did switch the warnings to advisories yesterday late afternoon, including the mention of up to 0.1" of ice accretion, but my guess is they need something which differentiates "advisories" for 2-3" snow vs. for 0.1" of ice. Maybe we need "snow/sleet advisories" and "freezing rain advisories" since the public, I think, kind of ignores advisories vs. warnings, thinking, meh, a few inches of snow. I could be wrong, but this has always been my view on this.Numbers although we are

I'm guilty of it too.

Um yes. It's over now.

You quoted my post on it and I've been posting about it all morning. 1" new today. More possible later, but not a given.You got measurable snow today?
We had a brief moment of flurries. Nothing on the cars in the parking lot.You quoted my post on it and I've been posting about it all morning. 1" new today. More possible later, but not a given.

Today was a nothing. Time to move on. 40 degrees this week and over 50 degrees next weekend!
And this one:Hopefully we can all go back to hanging out the one flag that matters. RUTGERS!
We got an additional inch on top of what we got last night. Still lightly snowing up here.You got measurable snow today?
