Covid will and has changed some things permanently. This always happens in history with pandemics. The Renaissance, the Roaring 20's, are two examples. One thing that is gone is the snow day, but that was happening anyway, as districts in the aughts and 2010's were blowing up too many snow days, and were already petitioning to use remote before all this happened; they were mostly rebuffed until recently.

A friend works at the mall; he reported sleet in Bridgewater for a time but heavy snow now.

Maybe its good I got out this morning and cleared some of it; I'm estimating 6-8 so far, hard to tell with drifts; flat areas only had 4-5 but it was plenty deep elsewhere; over a foot on the drift on my car.
-
Yeah it doesn't have the look of an 18-20 incher to me: but this is longer duration than storms we've had in recent years, which were quicker and heavier IIRC. We've not seen sleet here since daybreak; not sure what happened over night; it is snowing steadily but not "puking" as some would characterize it.....I already had some pretty heavy duty drifts this morning that challenged the machinery; so can't really complain. We'll see what Act 2 has to offer....

Suggests he might be in a temporary situation. Belford is on Raritan Bay, near Atlantic Highlands. It is the seat of the northern fishing fleet, what's left of it anyway.
-
Still it might be wise to do some cleaning up in anticipation of later precip, come what may. waiting for a little more light.
-
Wow. Belford is not " down the shore" its Raritan Bay, a few miles across from SI. No question that is very concerning. With sleet seen well into west central NJ already, one can't help but wonder. Still, everyone seems confident of a massive amount of snow coming.
-
So this lull is temporary then....sounds like a good time to do some cleanup while the opportunity exists....
-
Are we in a lull or is this the dry slot NWS was hinting out? They mention something in Mt Holly, but did not seem to think it would be persistent, if I read correctly.
-
we seem to have done real well in our area this time out; this is a good snowfall for us even if it stops here ( though I am assured it will commence once again; right now not much going on and don't know how long we sleeted ) so I will clean up soon in anticipation of more; I'm seeing various reports here that do make me wonder if we will have tons more, but I'm always a bit skeptical. Looks real nice out. Some decent drifts.
-
Haven't seen amounts like that in years; gonna be hard to believe it after all this time. Probably have to do two shifts of cleanup. Not a young lad anymore.

Seems underdone, we are at around 6 or so in Woodbridge. I confess I woke up to my wife shoveling outside, looked around, thought meh....didn't realize it was only around 1 am! Thought it was early morning....it's not coming down as hard ATM but I assume it will get cranking again....
-
According to Mt Holly, the worst winds will be when there is mixing, hence they won't see need for blizzard warnings. Saw it in their discussion.

Craig Allen now that I remember. Decent met though, no? He was mainly talking about runs since yesterday. Beyond that, I can't say. There's no model out to lunch saying it will be a less severe event. We're going to get slammed; anytime you get over a foot and a lot of wind, and top it off with some rain, you are going to have serious travel and cleanup issues.
-
FWIW, just heard a pro say the NAM has been consistent enough that he's sticking with it; doesn't expect much mixing except at the Twin Forks, with most of LI getting a foot an the city as well ( or more ) before any change to rain.
-
I only had one decent storm that whole winter, in March. The rest were 3-5, with one around 6. And many of them mixed. But after the last 3 years....

I only got 6, but that trend was apparent before this late in the game IIRC.

I lived through it. Worked as a weekend guard at a Foodtown warehouse. I believe it was a Friday night event; I brought an extra sandwich with me for the guy who was stuck there all night. I used the letter recognizing my " bravery" for years after that when applying for jobs....
-
That had to be a gag, a bad one...
-
Pretty sure he was thinking of someone else.
-
Enjoy his posts. Always did.
-
Yeah I see that. I just remember some picture posted here eons ago with some dude in a mets outfit, for some reason I thought it was Anthony. No disrespect intended for either of you.
