    Hi! Finally back on line. Wantage NJ 8 s High Point. 6" past 12 hours. power outages here in Sussex County, over 6500 without power due to tree limbs weighted with the 33F wet snow snow. Storm total as of 645PM 7.9" including yesterday . Snow blower removed but difficult to get through the slabs 1.5" sleet-freezing rain base. Pix to share of our yard at 445PM/2.

    815AM interim report for Wantage NJ 4sw, 2.4". Possibly no further reports til after 330PM. 31.3F now in steady light snow. Note: where you see echo return nw NJ and ne PA, think its snowing at a pretty good clip there. Here in Wantage-Ndewton, snowing lightly at .1 or .2/hr but no 88D returns. fwiw.

    615AM: Wantage NJ 8s High point 1.9" storm total snow and sleet, with light fine snow at this report and accumulating. 30.9F. Packed frozen sleet beneath the new snow is a difficult removal process. Not even sure if a snowblower will handle it. mPING reports continuing--this one since radar shows almost nothing falling in our location at 615AM.

    Dont know about ZOOMradar, but Radarscope has all the mPING too. Good choice for a small fee.

    Hi everyone, Wantage 8 s High Point NJ had to be offline for 4 hours. Here's what has transpired in Wantage NJ 4sw. ZRW-- 806AM-810AM, ZL- around930AM-10AM, then ZR- around 10A-1030A with freezing on windshield edges and blades despite heaters Then. 0.4" snow sleet accumulation as of 150PM with 1 hour of all snow 1230-130PM. Now all sleet. 22.8F will check glaze later but we definitely have glaze here. No wind speed due to glaze but its blowing a bit. Thanks for participating and all the mPINGS. Helpful! Think the operational HRRR had a nice call hours in advance on the precip change to snow for a time here in ne PA/nw NJ. Going to be a LONG event with so many interesting aspects. Cheers!

    Yes it's cold and you saw the Bethleham PA report. Note also...not sure how many here use mPING but it's a valuable CROWD SOURCING opportunity. I'll be mpinging as we go through so many changes the next 24 hours. Already mPING reports confirm Bethleham on the Radarscope app I use. You may be seeing mPING reports elsewhere?? (Pleaser let me know if you do see mPING reports elsewhere). Thanks and enjoy this messy winter storm. As Highland Lakes posted...we are quite cold with overcast skies nd northeast breeze here at 740' elevation. 21F. 708AM/1
