We did manage some snow in March and April that year and an 85 in mid March

I had about a foot in under 8 hours. I remember walking to school with nothing on the ground and trudged home in 10" or so

March 21st was the last so 238 days

more people would've planned accordingly and left early or stayed home, schools would've closed etc. Nobody outside of NW NJ expected more than a couple slushy inches with a change to sleet and rain.

Christie called into 101.5 to complain his commute took 4 hours

you never know. but yeah i'm not basing it on anything scientific

have a hunch this ends up being our biggest of the season

Already surpassed winters of 97-98, 01-02 and 11-12

At least social media hyped this so most people weren't caught off guard. Sad to say that's where most people get their forecasts these days

5" all in under 3 hours

2.5" down

Flake size increasing

You sure it doesn't just sound like sleet as snow is hitting the leaves?

Philly and Wilmington posters saying still mostly snow or flipped back to snow

Toms river reporting snow now

Mod snow sticking to all surfaces Temp went from 33 to 30

Coming down at a good clip already

Upgraded to 5-7"

First flakes have begun in Plainfield

Reports of snow covered roads in Philly

Craig Allen posted this a little while ago: Getting a little concerned / nervous. I sure wish I had a chance to get acclimated with a few snow showers rather than hitting me up with an all out storm for the first one. Sheesh. The HRRR is a high- res model updated hourly. The trend has been toward a colder solution due to surface and upper dynamics. and therefore more wintry precip. Last night, I mentioned the NAM12 and NAM3k were throwing around such hints. Remember, just using a 10:1 ratio means sleet and icing are included in the mix and can make snowfall maps disproportionately high. But this morning, even when factoring out that parameter, the initial intensity of the snow and sleet may be enough to overwhelm the changeover for a couple extra hours. For NYC, LI and NJ shore- that would approx double estimates, especially on colder surfaces. Then towards evening, even roads would get covered before heavy rain washes it away. Inland- An easy 2-4" with 6+ in the NW hills of NJ into the Poconos, Catskills and north of TZ and Merritt towards I-84. Watching this possibility very carefully. And remember, there may be a burst of snow to end the storm tomorrow morning. November?????

It's already near freezing and will be in 20s tonight so it'll stick to grass

Forecast for State College is 4-6" of snow and sleet so those maps are probably off or the forecasts will end up too low. On this day in 1995 they had nearly 18" of heavy wet snow with temps at 33-34 for the duration.
