Freezing Drizzle

Fine. Yes, the same name, In fact, I set this account up in 2010 but never posted here. I was an active poster on NYC Metro, for years. It was founded by a few then-young guys after the "Bevans" board went nutty. NYC Metro had its day, it was like family; until it went downhill. Great posters were there, the late-Icehater; Robbbs; Tatamy, who is here; Thundersleet; and the always-fun Metfanforlife, to name a few. Many good posters here and great moderators, so I might chime in from time to time. I look to your numbers and the members in Colonia, Metuchen, and Plainfield for comparisons. FD

Don, I'm across The Kill from you. 8.5 inches of snow at 1 pm. 2.7 inches of sleet/snow afterwards. 11.2 inches total. 11 F low in the morning, high of 18 F. I remember you from the old NYC Metro page. I've been a reader-only here for several years. FD

The cartop accumulations here all have this same odd pattern on the sides. As if worn down by the sleet.

Interesting heavy sleet falling. At a glance it looks like fog. Put your gloved arm out and it's very fine, like coarse granulated sugar, but with an occasional larger pellet. No snow mixed in. 9 inches here. 15 F.

No doubt, PD II in February of 2003. 8 F that morning, snow falling in the afternoon at 12 F. Today beat that by one degree,

Sleet mixing in since 1 pm, now mostly a fine sleet. 8.5 inches. A period of heavy snowfall from 7:30 am until 1 pm. 16 F.

ps This radar depiction is the old AW radar. Is it on their site? I always liked this depiction, shows the rates clearly.

Thanks for all of your recent postings, great job, Sac. Very helpful.

First flakes here at around 4:30 am. One inch by 6 am, at 11 F. 2 1/2" here at 8 am. With a good one inch per hour rate presently. 13 F. Fine "cold" looking flakes, a very wintry look, Coldest snowfall here since PD II, February of 2003!

Haha. I should have phrased the question differently. Is it more likely to get a front end of, say, 5 inches then go over to sleet and/or freezing rain or face a foot of snow? He is responsible for a church and school, thus the concern. Fwiw, Mt. Holly who covers up to my area in central Jersey, and Upton, who covers Staten Island, 1/4 mile from me, have both knocked down the max inches considerably.

My son now lives in Fairmount, Philadelphia. Mt. Holly shows his snow accumulation as 7 to 12 inches, not counting Sunday overnight into Monday. Is this realistic? I'm thinking more like 5 to 10 inches considering a change to sleet and/or freezing rain. Any thoughts?
