Dan Zarrow honking for a wintery event for Thursday around 10am to 7 pm timeframe. Light snow and or freezing rain. Very light at this time but look for a coating of snow and or ice with the cold air in place.

Same here! At the Ridge mid morning.I’m planing a round of winter golf Friday.
Bet not snow!!!
Is the NWS referring to the original post?Even the NWS calls this a nuisance event...
yes, NWS text says Thursday, which is what the OP is about...Is the NWS referring to the original post?
I served up a huge snowball for you to hit over the fence, and you whiffed. . . .yes, NWS text says Thursday, which is what the OP is about...
The problem is that sarcasm is supposed to be funny and the intended target needs a sense of humor. 2 strikesI served up a huge snowball for you to hit over the fence, and you whiffed. . . .
Just giving the OP a little grief like he gives you when you post a weather thread. I was calling his post a nuisance event. Sarcasm does not translate well sometimes. :fistbump:
I think this thread is worthy especially those north of 78. Stay tuned.
Amy's weight is meaningless, will take her as she is.Non-event that does not deserve a thread. Will wait for @RU848789 and Amy Freeze to weigh in.
Murphy is going to overkill it, and when this storm doesn't pan out he will blame the weather people again. I thought Christie was bad, this guy may be the biggest a$$clown of all.meh this is more like a nuisance thread
but I am sure that idiot Murphy will have thousands of salt trucks and all that brine ready to go
Not really. Less than 0.5" of snow during daylight hours, when the precip is most likely to fall, means fairly light snowfall rates, which means very little is likely to accumulate on paved surfaces with temps around freezing or above. I can't see this being anything more than a nuisance, except maybe for far NW NJ/Poconos, where temps will stay at or below 32F during the day and there's the potential for up to 1" of snow - and even then this won't be much an issue, except maybe on lightly traveled roads/sidewalks. Looks like mood flakes to me.
The only chance for this to be worth worrying about, is if the little storm overperforms significantly. There is about a 10% chance of and inch to locally 2" falling just NW of the 95 corridor, especially NW of the 78/287 intersection, but that's not the way to bet right now.

Oh Just Stop it already will ya. What are you two are gonna do turn another weather thread unreadable!ive seen you start a thread for nuisance storms for those to the north early in the season..Do you want me to dig those out...just saying

Back to the weather. Still looks to be largely a nuisance snowfall on Thursday. Most areas near/along 95 (north of 195) will likely get some light snow and a dusting to a coating (1/4" or so) in the morning, before mixing/changing to some light rain as temps warm up into the mid/upper 30s by late morning. Areas NW of 78/287 up to about 80 could get 1/2" or so, which would still likely not have travel impacts on most roads.
Areas in far NW NJ (higher elevations in Sussex, Warren and W. Passaic) and the Poconos/Hudson Valley, in general, could get an inch to maybe close to 2" in a few spots and there could be some slick spots for the morning commute on secondary and side roads - major roads should be fine. Not enough for advisories anywhere and there's a good possibility that there will be little to no snow in 90% of NJ, except for the far NW locations, which appear likely to at least get 1/2".

Isn't the prediction now for snow north of the 78 corridor? It may not be much snow, but we both know that sometimes just a bit of snow is the most dangerous kind for drivers -- I don't know if I would just call it a nuisance,.
If ya live in NJ, 2 to 4 inches of snow is a nuisance. I ya live in South Carolina it's a major event.
So, there was zero impact on the morning rush hour everywhere and I still don't expect to see much impact on the roads south of 80. Still looks like only areas N of 80 and especially NW of 80/287 intersection in NJ and the Hudson Valley, as well as the Poconos will see an inch or more of snow, as temps there are still below 32F and they're getting light/moderate snow. Everywhere along and S of 78 is above 32F and precip is light, so the threat is basically over for those areas. Could be 1/2" or so between 78 and 80 (and west of 287 there), especially close to 80, but very little on the roads given light intensity and borderline temps.I said "largely a nuisance" and then defined where there could be some minor to modest impacts, i.e., far NW NJ/Poconos/Catskills/Hudson Valley, where 1-2" of snow could fall, including by the morning rush hour, especially for the Poconos (and maybe the northern Lehigh Valley). However for the 95 corridor up through NYC, any snow that falls will very likely be after 8 am, with temps at or above freezing, meaning no real impact on roads, which, to me, is a nuisance snowfall. Even for most of the region between 78 and 80 (except NW portions) there may be 1/2-1" of snow, but again with little accumulation likely on most roads (maybe side streets), which would be a nuisance.
And the latest suite of 0Z models (and the 6Z NAM/GFS which just came out) shows less snow than yesterday afternoon's models were showing, i.e., essentially nothing for the 95 corridor and only far NW NJ/Poconos and Hudson Valley getting an inch or maybe 2 with the area between 78 and 80 maybe getting 1/2" (near 78) to an inch (near 80). Those amounts after 8 am (the mesoscale models show no snow in NJ until 8 am) would generally melt on mosts paved surfaces during daylight at low/moderate intensity with temps generally at or above 32F, especially as the morning wears on.
Of course, people should monitor the radar and the forecast in the morning, as things can always change, but right now this is looking to be quite minor for 90% of NJ. Maps from this evening are below. Given the model trends, I would expect the NWS to either leave these the same (just to be conservative, after being bitten by badly underforecasting the 11/15 snow) or maybe decrease snowfall amounts a touch.
Not a winning combination. Eggs are only good for french toast and baking.Eggs & beer too

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Clipper system over western NY and western PA will pass north of
the area this morning. Based on model guidance, the surface low
seems to fizzle out as it tracks east. The 500 mb low, however,
remains fairly strong , and there is strong shortwave energy
associated with it that will pass north of the region later
today.
Light snow has developed across northern zones this morning
and the vsbys in the light snow have remained mostly 2SM - 5SM
as of this time. Another batch of precip, more showery in
nature, is across central PA. These areas will affect the
northern areas this morning and into the afternoon. Overall,
liquid QPF amounts will be fairly low, generally between
1/10-2/10 inch, and this should yield about an inch of snow,
generally along and north of I-80. In some of the higher
elevations, however, up to 2 inches of snow will fall, and still
cannot rule out an isolated 3 inch report.
For areas along and south of I-78 to around I-195, light snow
later this morning will mix with and eventually change to rain
by midday or so. Again, QPF amounts will be light, generally
less than 1/10", so not much at all in the way of snow will
accumulate, and in these areas, snow will melt off by this
afternoon.
Snowmageddon? :oops:Snow threat is over for everyone except the Poconos and Catskills and even there, they're now only expecting an inch to maybe 2". Temps are above 32F everywhere except Sussex, NW Passaic and northern Morris (and north of the Tappan Zee and in the Poconos), so any more precip south of 80 is likely to be rain and there's not much precip going on. I have not heard of anyone outside of higher elevations in NW NJ or the Poconos even getting 1/2". Nuisance storm.
I'm starting to understand that you are very argumentative and have to have the last word on everything. Even if it's trivial, such as the word nuisance. I guess comparisons are just relative to your definition.Huge difference between there and here, in general, although even just a few inches can be major here, when the timing is just right (or wrong), like on 11/15, where mostly 3-7" fell and even where only 2-4" fell.
wow the OP failed hard
Not really. I did include the word possibly.

I rolled back into Jersey at 2:30 this afternoon and when I hit the NJTP at Exit 6 it was 50 degrees.
Then there was this idiocy:
