Just cracked single digits, 9F -
Yeah flash freeze is no big deal here, only thing to worry about is a rogue wind gust knocking power out
-
One last burst of mod snow now but can see the sun peeking through, 23F. Impossible to know how much fell with the blowing but it definitely looks like around a half inch
-
24F and snow has all but finished, a solid coating on the grass and cars. Roads look wet, I'll go check on the status of them here when I grab the trash can that flew into the neighbors yard
-
Temp has dropped all the way to 32 now with the snow. Mod snow and blowing. Only stickage on grass
-
You can see the wave riding up north on radar well, I too think I can get a half inch to inch here https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-Mid_Atlantic-comp_radar-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

Seeing the wind chill advisories issued for South Florida is hilarious... "Very cold wind chills of 30 to 35F". Kidding aside, that's pretty cold for that region. Still 42 here -

My top 3 schools are University of Alaska Fairbanks, Wyoming, and Utah. So places that get real snow and winter! lol Check out the loop here, you can see some sort of wave riding up along the front making it's way north. That's what the HRRR and NAM are showing as our changeover to snow. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-Mid_Atlantic-comp_radar-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined -

No you're all good, it was worth mentioning. I even pulled out my Atmospheric Dynamics notebook and textbook to read up again on fronts quickly and apply it to the current obs/situation. Temp is dropping here, albeit slowly. Now 42 -

The 3k NAM also has that similar back building of precip into the area. Regarding the front thing... I checked a HBG wunderground site and the pressure was already rising there. So to be honest I'm confused too because there's mixed signals I'm getting. But also, it doesn't really matter because all we really care about is the snow haha -

That's super interesting. I think those figures (from SPC and WPC) are just rough estimates though because we wouldn't be seeing the band of rainfall moving through if the front was already into New Jersey. Physically speaking from a basic meteorological standpoint, the precipitation is always associated along and AHEAD of the cold front where you get rising motion above the cooler air mass. So it's definitely not your fault, but the WPC map is deceiving because the front is definitely not into Jersey yet -

This is an incredible surface map. But look at the sagging of the isobars through the LSV, that's where the front is -

Anybody flip to snow yet on the backside of the front? Currently 42, down from a high of 56 at 2:30am. Pouring rain.
