Transitioning to freezing rain. 6" OTG.

5.5". Sleet beginning to mix in.

3.5" as of 9:45. Temp up to 30.

Incredible not even half that on the other side of town.

1". So far not impressed with rates here. Temp up to 24.

Last call. Zero changes to the map from yesterday afternoon. Let's see how it goes...

Updated map. Will this pan out? No clue, but that's why I'm not a met. Some minor tweaks from the last one, and unless we see major trends within the next 24 hours, I don't think I'll make any adjustments. I guess you could call it a near worse-case scenario but I'm sticking to a lower/conservative side. I think the mixing line makes it up to CT, then following just north/west of the Fall Line. ENE winds will bring a period of rain to coastal NJ, keeping totals lower. Freezing rain up to 0.25" possible for inland NJ, south of Raritan Bay. However, if the mixing line quickly retreats, or doesn't even make it that far north/east, totals here will be higher, possibly add 50% to what's projected on the map (not in pink). Areas north/west of Easton, PA - Mahwah, NJ should remain all snow, 12-18" likely, possibly higher amounts in higher elevations.

WSW issued. Mt Holly still going with 10-15" here.

GFS yet again remains best case scenario.

Closing in on 48 hours until go time for some of us. Here's my initial dartboard throw. Never underestimate the jacuzzi that is the Atlantic, even if the buoys are only reading 40. 12 hours of ENE wind, it's going to bring some rain to the coast. Feel free to throw some Oscar Meyers.

Looks like GFS is still going to be our best bet for big totals. Building an initial snow map.

True. Could be a reason why many are throwing out maps so early in the game.

Yup. This was the project a group of us were given for the spring semester. I primarily would like to be focusing on barrier island ecology in the future.

Less salt, the better. Been running around doing water parameter checks in a bunch of tributaries in Ocean County for a term project. The conductivity and refractometer readings we've been seeing after salt gets laid down is disturbingly high.

I doubt down here even reaches warning criteria

Never underestimate the warm nose. It'll rear its ugly head.

GFS would be perfect here for all of us. Otherwise just let it rain. Don't care if I get 6" from a front thump. If it ends as 3" of slush, what's the fun in that?

Anybody making snow maps before Friday AM is an idiot. If you want to make note of potential hazards? Sure, but I better not see numbers on a map

Icon doesn't show sleet or ice on Tidbits

Just sayin': you don't want to be in the bullseye 4-5 days out. Never ends well.

Google My Maps. Can draw up polygons, color code them, and add descriptions for each.

Doubt it'll top January 28-29 for us coasties. Had 20.5" here, but everyone will get to enjoy this one

Morning low of -2. Ties the coldest morning of 2025 here.

I'd love to show maps. File size won't allow me to do so.

Nice write-up. We track. Best pattern we've had in years. Let's cash in on one.
