No, did not move up to this area until 2016. I have often wondered what the NJ coldest minimum temperature on record really is. I believe it is recorded as -34 in River Vale (Bergen County) back in 1904. Have to believe it would have been colder than that in the Sussex County valley locations. Also how accurate is the -34 reading? Who and exactly where was it recorded? Lived in Park Ridge, next to River Vale for 10 years from mid 70's to mid 80's. Saw some cold readings during that time but temperatures on the coldest mornings were always notably colder out in NW NJ.

Half those amounts in north Ga. would be catastrophic. Too far out to zero in on ice accretion anywhere with this. Ice storms hard to nail down even within 6-12 hours. All depends on temperatures through the column. Surface temps especially during the daytime need to be 28 or lower (personal experience) and heavy rain is hard to accrete. Forecast ice storms can become sleet storms if column temperature profile is not perfect. Even 1/2" of ice can cause BIG problems, 1" in rural areas can be an absolute nightmare.

Low of 9 here. Some of the coldest NJ mins. It reached -1 far NW Sussex County. Lots of blowing snow around here yesterday afternoon into the overnight.

21.1" here for the season.

It has past "warming up" it is flaming. Those 360 hour snowfall maps are making the rounds fast.

That January mean temperature is sinking faster than cement shoes in the Hudson.

Well, that tells you what they are thinking. Of course subject to change if necessary but for now they are thinking max totals south of this forum. They door leave the door open for some northward adjustments. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/pmdepd.html

Can you imagine being stuck in that in this kind of cold? Gotta be 6+ hours until they get traffic moving again I would think?

While we wait for the biblical snows this is worth a watch: ouch. Wouldn't want to be stuck in that mess in that kind of cold. Can't imagine how long it will take to get traffic moving again. Gotta believe 6+ hours?? https://x.com/i/status/2013289835960611318

How much snow will it take this coming weekend to make you happy? 1-3" 2-4" 3-6" 4-8" 6-10" 8-14" 14"+ For me I'd be thrilled with 6-10", anything less would be a disappointment. I'm prepared to be disappointed and my expectations are low. Just my early thoughts. Lots of time to watch and track though. Watch the trends especially in the AI guidance as we go through the next few days.

Weekend snowfall totals: Click map to enlarge.

With the Sunday system I had .33" melted which yielded 2.8" snow. Ratio of 8.5:1. First part of the day had lower ratios and late afternoon switched to high ratios. Two day event total liquid: .61". Two day event snowfall: 6.2".

Takeaway from that is: Use Caution and keep expectations in check and under control.

Temperature after hanging out between 29-31 all day has now fallen to 24. Next.

Back edge past here. Just a few flurries remaining. Sure looks nice out there. After no wind all day, was near dead calm since daybreak the wind has picked up some and snow has started blowing off the rooftops. Total for the day 2.8”. Yesterday 3.4” Two day total 6.2”. Total depth currently is exactly 6”. Real nice multi day event!

I have trued both. Pretty frustrating I have to say.

No luck here either. If you get it working let me know. I will do same. My flip setting was on.

Thanks. Will check settings. Appreciate.

I want this! You on Android or IPhone?

Using Safari. Just flipping the phone is not working for me.

I would love to get it to work because that drives me nuts. Just tried and I still can’t see locations???

Just S- but still gradually accumulating. 79047335399__DAD25EBB-EF9F-45DA-AF59-5E539D56085D.MOV

What did I miss here? What works if you flip your phone to horizontal???

I'd use caution and patience over the next week and not underestimate the possibility of suppression. Not saying we will get nothing, I think we will get something. Just don't be shocked if the heaviest totals over the next 7-10 days are to the south of this sub forum. Some of the model eye candy is nice but no guarantee of the "big one". Cold is coming, no doubt about that but the snowfall prospects are more uncertain. As they say....Stay Tuned.

Time to make some Mac and Cheese and call it a day! That's what we used to have when I was a kid and came in from a day in the snow. That or English Muffin pizzas.
