Wife just asked if we can head north to see what we see….any opinions on cloud cover tonight around the northern end of Lake Champlain? This is what I get for successfully getting us to a good location for the eclipse a few weeks ago

Aiming for that area myself but can’t leave until 5pm Sunday after I work. No idea what to expect traffic wise. Got a toddler with us so not sure just pushing through without a sleep stop is in the cards.

A few small flakes dancing in the streetlights here in National Park NJ

steady light snow continues in National Park NJ across from PHL…..yard snowpack refreshing and snow making inroads on my street working it’s way in from the curbs. Not a terrible start in spite of the dry air.

It’s gonna be close with this dry air and latest modeling has the ivt just south….I think northeast Maryland does better than my location of National Park NJ across from PHL. Fighting the fizzle for now but dp and rh have been dropping as the first round of steady light snow gained a foothold last 35 minutes

First tiny flakes in National Park NJ across from PHL.

A lot riding on Mt Holly’s ratio rationale….. My reaction to that part of the afternoon AFD….

If we only get an inch in the warning zone, at least it will be a disappointment worthy of the term.

When the Winter Storm Warning notification came across….

Very light snow consisting of very fine tiny flakes has begun in National Park NJ across from PHL

I’m in AC at the Hard Rock hotel….even by 5pm small branches were coming down on the one side street I cut across and loose construction signs were taking flight. Surf was definitely up 90 minutes ago when I poked my head out on the deck near the buffet.

Almost seems like there could be a dry line in the mix to help ignite things.

Half of the non weather population struggles to remember what county they are in, I guarantee you hardly any are aware of what specific elevation they are at in this part of the country. It is a weird communication dynamic for sure. I live in south Jersey but often work in Union county…3 coworkers live in Sussex county. When I relay the latest forecast evolution I always mention “higher amounts for the hill people….you know who you are.” And they do lol.

Lurking in y’all subforum to help a friend in Macomb Michigan track this….any Michigan posters have any local tv meteorologists you recommend? My friend isn’t completely weather illiterate but doesn’t track stuff like we do. Good luck to you all and thanks for the information.
