    Wantage NJ 4 sw (8 s High Point). IP- and 0.5" so far. 22.8F. Anemometer frozen. Glaze is less than 0.1" I like the Sussex-KFWN I group suggest 0.01-0.02 glaze. 245PM/1

    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!

    "Sprinkles" of freezing rain began at this Wantage NJ location at 806AM. 21.4F

    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

    Hi! Would like to see an obs only page for this storm to make it easier to find the data, not only for myself but potentially the media with avid winter weather interest quite high. I'll add only 1 EXPERIMENTAL graphic from about 5AM this morning (Saturday 30th before the storm), but may eventually add pix to support observations as this complex event evolves in its banded - varying intensity form. The graphic below i think is realistic about axis of trouble and I can explain it a bit on the Dec 1-3 discussion page if requested, for those who've not seen this experimental product. Other NWS staff may improve on my interpretation. The legend should assist.

    Good morning from Wantage NJ 8 s High Point: Mixed precip began Sussex County NJ 655A-730A, and all snow in Wantage at 730AM with roads wet but grass/roofs starting to whiten at 744AM. May have one more report around 835AM before I go offline for most of the day.

    Good morning American Weather participants, It might be nice to consolidate wintry precip reports for whatever this minor event delivers today, under one topic. While flurries have occurred in parts of the metro area (nw NJ for sure) on the 8th, today's short period of flurries or snow should be a little more widespread though confidence on where anyone sees a slight accumulation (especially grass-cars-rooftops) is less than ideal.

    Did anyone notice the NAM performance on yesterdays ex-Nestor? I thought superior to any other model from long range til about 12 hours before the rain started (much further north on heavy precip, low pressure track). This includes the EC, GFS, CMC, UK, HREF and HRRR. Walt 2135z/21

    My last post. Event total 238P/22-7A/23 3.90 inches. Thanks for having checked this.

    My last for today: 3.53 238-9P; 3.59 for the calendar day. 5.88 since the 17th. SR 23 near Kinnelon reported washed out. a report of 4.03 just north of Sussex NJ looks legit per digital STP, which seems to be reading less than reality.

    Wantage NJ 4 sw at 557PM: 3.07" since 238P. 3.13 for the day. 5.42 since the 17th. Glad its easing at 557PM. Digital storm total and PHI internet STP's might be a touch low? Not much, but definitely a minimum from my vantage point here. Wont write again til (if) we pass 3.5 for the day. 602P/22.

    Just sent to PHI (NWS area of respo for Sussex County NJ): Wantage NJ 4 sw... 2.9 since 238PM. 2.96 for the day: 5.19" since the 17th. Local neighbors pumping water from unusual summer flood locations around homes. Some weather underground reports ne PA into se NYS past 3". submitted 534P/22.

    Attaching wunder map... several reports 2.5-3" today, most of it this afternoon and here at our house now past 2.85 since 238PM. This has to be causing some brook and small stream flooding in these hilly areas. Bad possibilities for campers near small streams. I know of folks using pumps to lower water here in our neighborhood to minimize flood risk. 527PM

    Wantage NJ 4 sw (8 s High Point)...since 238PM-501PM 2.5". Since the 17th 4.85" Some residents pumping water in the nw NJ hills. another couple of hours of off and on TR+. I'd be careful crossing any flooded roadways where brooks or streams are involved. NWS posted a FFW mid afternoon. We don't often flood up here in the nw NJ hills but there's a good chance of a flash flood problem. STP's look a little low to me as of 5P. Walt 506P/22

    Wrapping up... Trace ice pellets/snow here at our home in Wantage though could have opted for 0.1 but was conservative since less than 50% coverage. NOHRSC totals of sleet/snow through their interp program... attached only through 8PM last evening. Thanks for participating in this thread. I dont think we're yet done, with the NAO steep decline and then eventual bounce back and associated NAEFS d8-14 chilling ne USA. It's late season junk for most...but snow is beautiful to see. Probably won't initiate any more Obs threads unless it looks good for measurable... waited to the last minute for this one. Was in GA for the March 21-22 distant suburbs snow...right near where the Tybee Island Tornado is described in the February 2019 BAMS. 928A/6.

    At High Point State Park, NJ. Mostly light ice pellets at 234pm with a t of 31 and a bit of icing evident. Pavement wet.
