GFS and Euro have light snow for central and southern NJ early Wednesday morning. That's a little something to keep an eye on along with the clipper for the end of the week. No major storms but maybe we can pull off a coating to an inch or two from those potential events.
-
Also the arctic blast coming in next Sunday looks extremely impressive. Maybe even colder than the one we're having now, which is crazy. It has been a long time since we've had a truly cold winter like this.
-
The regular Euro has a nice clipper for next Friday into Saturday, but of course that's way out there.
-
Got down to 5 here this morning. With the wind going calm tonight we have a good chance of getting down to 0, which would be the first time in quite awhile here.
-
This has turned into one heck of a sleet storm. Hour after hour of pounding sleet. What a snowstorm this would have been if not for the mixing.
-
To me a monster snowstorm is more like a foot and a half to 2 feet. 12 inches is a big snowstorm but far from historic. I got 8 inches here before the change to sleet.
-
A little frustrating that we're not getting a truly big snowstorm due to the change to sleet, but we saw the warning signs a couple days ago. Still a very nice storm. I'll sign up for 8 inches of snow and 1 to 2 inches of sleet anyday.
-
Exactly. What I don't like is when the ice is underneath the snow and you have to scrape hard to get it off the pavement. Much better if it's on top of the snow. This will be fine.
-
And when it does change to 100% sleet it will go on for awhile, so we'll add a decent amount of accumulation. Of course I don't like sleet as much as I like snow, but I still like it. Freezing rain is what I don't like.
-
What? NAM was the only model that was correct about it changing to sleet as early as 1pm here. It was just off a couple inches with the accumulation because it underestimated the thump. I have 8 here instead of the 6 that the NAM had before the mixing.
-
Lots of sleet mixed with the snow here now. About 8 inches so at least the thump was great. NAM was on the money with the early mixing.

Pingers here now. The NAM was right about the early mixing, but thankfully the thump was excellent. -

Euro is aggressive in bringing in the mixing during the afternoon, but a nice thump before then. Hopefully the thump will be as advertised since the sleet will likely be here mid to late afternoon. I'd be happy with 7 or 8 before the mixing. -

I think 6 to 10 is a good forecast for our area. Maybe 7 inches of snow and then 1 to 2 inches of sleet.
