0.38 of LE in the bucket. A coating/0.5 OTG. Mainly snow now but still some sleet frz rain. The next 5 hours another 0.4 - 0.6 more qpf should yield 2 - 5inchs of snow for these parts of South - CNJ. Should the coastal enhanced bands produce, then the >5" are possible.

31 sleet/snow mix coating on the ground. 2 - 5 looks good here

Feb 1934 severe Arctic cold https://www.nytimes.com/1996/02/06/nyregion/but-what-about-february-9-1934.html#:~:text=By 7 A.M.%2C it was,said it was 14.3 below. The mercury began its plunge on a Thursday night 62 years (1994) ago this week. The moment that Thursday became Friday, the temperature was 7 below zero. By 7 A.M., it was 13 below, and at 7:25 A.M. on Friday, Feb. 9, 1934, the coldest temperature ever for New York City was recorded. The National Weather Service says it was 15 below zero. Newspaper accounts said it was 14.3 below. Whatever. The temperature never got above 7 that day. Six people died. Dozens of people passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning while trying to thaw car radiators in closed garages. Hundreds of schoolchildren were treated for frostbitten hands, noses and ears. A girl fainted from cold and hunger in Public School 89 in Brooklyn. More than 40 policemen were treated for frostbite. So were many firefighters, from fighting blazes, from thawing out the 652 hydrants that froze, or after being summoned by the dozen false alarms attributed to the freezing of sprinkler systems. It had been a bitter winter in the East well before Feb. 9 -- bitter enough to freeze Lake Ontario for the first time in 60 years, bitter enough to clog the Hudson River, bitter enough to thwart a Coast Guard icebreaker in Long Island's Great South Bay. By coincidence, Feb. 9, 1934, was the 64th birthday of the old Weather Bureau. On that day for reminiscing, meteorologists noted that the previous all-time low for New York City was minus 13, recorded on Dec. 30, 1917. One meteorologist ventured that Feb. 9 was the coldest day in New York since the American Revolution. A sheriff's deputy sent to Staten Island to serve an eviction order found a woman and three small children. All were hungry and cold. Sheriff John Timlim postponed the eviction. The next day, the temperature rose to 27. On Sunday, there were Lincoln Day sales (fur coats as low as $45) for those with money.

Grant signed a law "to provide for taking meteorological observations at the military stations in the interior of the continent." A petition submitted by Increase A Lapham to Congressman Halbert E Paine in December 1869 began this process. 1899: One of the most significant cold outbreaks to ever impact the United States occurred early to mid-February. From the 8th-11th, the statewide average temperature across Iowa was 14.6 degrees below zero, making it the coldest four-day stretch on record in the state. On the 8th, Sioux City experienced its coldest day on record, with a daily average temperature of 24 degrees below zero. Then on the 11th, they reached their second-coldest temperature on record with a low of minus 31.

The cold across the middle of the country was so extreme and persistent that ice floes down the Mississippi River into the deep south, emerging into the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans on February 17th.

The temperature dropped to 63 degrees below zero at Norway House, Manitoba, Canada setting the province's low-temperature record. 1933 - The temperature at Moran, WY, located next to Teton National Park, plunged to 63 degrees below zero to establish a state record.

Wind gusted to 80 mph and 23.4 inches of snow produced drifts eight feet high at Cape Cod MA. It was the worst blizzard in thirty years for the Cape Cod area. Winds in some of the mountains and ridges of the Appalachian Region gusted to 100 mph. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S. Alliance NE plunged from 44 degrees to 12 above in just two hours, and Mobridge SD reported a wind chill of 64 degrees below zero. Winds along the eastern slopes of the Rockies gusted to 90 mph at Cheyenne WY, and reached 96 mph at Boulder CO. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - A winter storm continued to bring rain and snow to southern California. Snowfall totals ranged up to 18 inches at Olancha, with three inches at Palmdale. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front erupted over eastern Texas late in the morning, and produced severe weather as they swept across the southeastern states. Early evening thunderstorms spawned a tornado which injured one person at Nat TX, and produced tennis balls size hail which caused more than half a million dollars damage around Shreveport LA. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1994 - A devastating ice storm struck Mississippi, Louisiana, and extreme northwest Alabama. Freezing rain began falling over northern Mississippi during the early morning hours and continued until midday on the 10th. Ice accumulated 3 to 6 inches thick on exposed objects in the affected area. Due to the weight of the ice, power lines, trees, and tree limbs were down. Nearly one million people were without power after the storm, some for a month.

A three-mile-long island, Island #32, was completely sunk! The Mississippi River once again ran backward.

During this freeze, the St. Johns River was frozen, "several rods from the shore," and people were able to walk a distance from the shore. Many citruses and other fruit trees were killed to the ground, never to grow again, when temperatures reached as low as 1ºF in Charleston and 8ºF in Jacksonville. A Florida gentleman told a newspaper that the state "appeared as desolate as if a fire had swept over it" after the severe freeze of that winter season. According to Florida Citrus Mutual, this freeze was so severe that it is considered an impact freeze. This indicates that the freeze annihilates entire groves across the state, killing both mature and young citrus trees while causing a profound economic impact on the citrus industry and prompting growers to replant farther south. This freeze ended attempts to grow citrus in southern Georgia, southeastern South Carolina, and northern Florida. 1861 - The temperature at Gouverneur, NY, bottomed out at -40 degrees, a drop of 70 degrees in one day.
