Pack is holding strong down here. Definitely patches of green showing up, but areas with 5-6” compacted, and I mean middle of the yard, full sun. Snow on the ground since 1/31/21; but I am excited to start spring projects.

Pack took a good beating today in the typical spots, but surprisingly deep in other areas. Should get me a solid February of snow cover.

Woke up to a dusting. Quickly turned to sleet. Now rain. Agree with @gravitylover it’ll be an interesting 48 hours to see if the pack can make it wall to wall February.

Woke up to a thin accumulation of flakes, getting ice now. 32. Question will be if my pack survives the next 48 hrs.

Just started lightly snowing...keep adding to the pack!

Snowing in Chester

Just took a ride to the Chester shoprite; just epic piles of snow. 2014 is a great comparison for how much is on the ground currently. 2001/02 and 2007/8 winters in Albany were the most I’ve lived through. 105-110” those winters. But for NJ, this February has been incredible.

Stopped around 4:00 pm. Measured 5.5” at 3:00 while plowing the driveway. Very close to 6”. That’s over 10” since last Thursday alone.

Per co-worker commute from Watchung to Pequannock via 24/78 and 287 took 1:30; not going above 35-40 mph the entire way; secondary roads are worse.

Plow trucks just made the first passes in front of our home. Snow intensity has dropped off for now, closing in on 4".

Heavy snow now; roads are covered. First snow this winter that is clinging to the pines/spruces; no wind.

That's what I wanted to confirm on the dualpol. We are over 3" and counting here.

Anyone have a quick link to dualpol? That bright banding down by 195 is that rain or snow? Its 30/29 here, dumping snow; roads are covered.

Street is covered; cars are moving slowly. Heavy snow continues. Contemplating calling it a day and letting my day-care go home.

Moderate/heavy snow now. Salt truck went by the house at 10:45 a.m. (secondary road). Road is beginning to show signs of coverage. Early dismissal for my daughter's school is imminent.
