‘96: the storm that hooked me in my youth. I remember watching Al Rocker (in his heavier days) keep upping projected totals at every check in. That storm had it all, heavy snow, winds and cold temps. My dad was gone plowing with a front end loader for the next 48 hours. We didn’t go back to school until 2 days post storm. Interestingly we grabbed over 32” in the January 2016 storm, but to me ‘96 is the king.

Still cold; 25 here. Waiting for the thaw as the driveway glacier glistens.
-
I was lazy last week and never cleared the driveway; so the glacier thawing out is welcomed.
-
Cold morning putting out recycling. The wolf-moon was going down as the sun was up; awesome sky to see.
-
Flurries now..
-
Apparently as we await the warm up, it looks like deep winter in Chester. Snow on top of snow pack, with temps that haven’t cracked 32 in about 72-96 hours.
-
I missed it, but just woke up to the town crew coming thru; solid accumulation on the roadway.
-
Very fine flakes in Chester. Happy New Year all! Update: legit snow showers now.
-
Pack remains in Chester; some decent piles in the shopping center in the middle of town; winter vibes for sure Winds are howling, temp at 29; looks like for the next 7+ we won’t crack 32.
-
This is somewhat surprising; we are still covered here and much less blue-sky/sun. I’m concerned about our driveway, that I didn’t shovel (it’s hard pack stone); time to hit it with calcium chloride.
-
I could use a temp spike as the one of the gutter downspouts on the second floor/north side of the house is frozen and it’s coming over the top. Not ideal going into a cold night; temp is currently 38.
-
PIt’s still 32 here. Salt trucks thankfully out all night.
-
Light freezing rain, back steps and slate patio are iced up.
-
The snow has remained frozen to the trees since the storm; rather remarkable all things considered. We are at 27/25; freezing glaze incoming.
-
18/13 currently; it remains very picturesque outside with the snow still clinging to the trees.
-
Winter cancelled/uncancelled banter 25/26

You are likely correct, but this is now the 3rd or 4th time you’ve written this in the past few days; message received. -
Eyeballing 2” of snow/ice; but it’s wintry looking outside and snow is falling currently. Never expected all that much, but certainly the sleet-fest was not ideal. Oh well, it should be enough for the kids snow tubes; onto the next storm!
-
Heavy sleet in Chester; down to 23 degrees. Hopefully the cold flushes out some of the warmth so we can grab a few inches to get the kids out sledding tomorrow.
-
If it means anything, I just watched 10-12 power company trucks head southbound on 206 from Chester. Perhaps gearing up for repairs due to ice accretion south of me?
-
15/4 as I just posted in the main thread. We are under a WSW, with point click at 4-6”; candidly I think we come up short of that range. Good luck to those east of me.
-
15/4 out my way in this part of western Morris County. Nearly every model has the sharp cut-off with the good totals to my immediate southwest, so my expectations are in line. I would note, to my untrained eye, the CAD isobars seem primed to put up a good fight with whatever warmth is coming; keep the faith for those north/east of me.
-
Grabbed an 1” out of that band; rates are lighter now.
-
Woke up to a dusting; getting a decent band with better rates now. Schools are closed to extend the long break.
-
OT, but I am impressed at how rapidly snowman19 throws a weenie tag on @MJO812. Initial post was 31 minutes ago, followed by the weenie 26 minutes ago. All happening before 6:00 am on a Saturday It’s almost like you guys have each others accounts linked.

Update: winds ripped apart our pergola roof. Meh…
