10.5 as of 9:15. Much lighter now.

Thanks. I'm up the mountain at a little over 1200 elevation. 

Any reports up in the Vernon, NJ area? I see temp at my house is 28.0°. It must be piling up quick.

Solid light snow in Vernon. Dusting on all surfaces, turning slushy on county road. 31f

I'm at 1215' elevation in Vernon about 9 miles from you. No mixing issues here. We are at 4"? Post a pic of that 9".

About 4in Vernon Valley. Huge flakes coming down now. Talking about 1-3 inch rates for next few hours per special weather statement for Sussex Co.

Had little bigger than pea size hail and gusts to well over 40 with that cell in Vernon. Wife saw 1+ inch hail in town on way home and several large branches down. Ton of lightning


.

Pea size hail storm in Vernon. Ground including roads completely whitened. Came in as hail and now ending as rain/graupel 

Winter Storm Watch up for us in Sussex County. 5-7 inches of snow before changing to mixed precip. Pretty bullish by My Holly.

Since we are talking more liquid now, are we looking at a one or two inch type rain event or potential for 3+?

Picked up an inch in that line up here in Vernon

Man, areas between I80 and I84 are in prime position for this one.    I hope you guys are pumped.  

I don’t post often since weather is boring here in Vernon. Super pumped. Can see Mountain Creek from my house. They must be beyond pumped.

Missed me by 2 miles as usual. Had one gust to 40 I would say. Looks like it is getting stronger heading into Bergen

Severe warning here in Northern Sussex.

Still at just 1.10" this evening? There's a bunch of gauges in the NJWxNet up your way with 2"+, and I definitely don't doubt what you measured in the plastic 4" gauge (I coordinate the program out of Rutgers; those gauges are top notch). The 2.52" is at High Point (not all the way up, but 1388'), and the 2.12" is our brand new station at the top of the main lift at Mountain Creek (~1394'), which I believe is pretty close to your location? Both are quite similar in elevation to yours, so doesn't seem to be a topographic thing. I'm really surprised by the difference and curious to see what other reports in the area show tomorrow. 

I am in the valley about 4 min from Mountain Creek and I had 2.15

Very close lightning strike out of nowhere. Was not expecting that today. Sounded like a bomb.

Excellent discussion and thanks for the post.  Cutting white pine limbs outside so am in and out.  Let's see what happens. 

Unless things change quickly, you and I about to get 7 10 split screw job. Shocker.

You like boring weather, you move up here. Heard two rumbles of thunder in distance. Yawn.

.01 so far. Yet to have over an inch in any storm since Feb. You like boring weather, move to Vernon

Not much lightning with this line in Vernon but winds gusted into 30s. Lights flickered. Louder roar of winds just missed me to my south 

Snow flurries in Vernon. Temp 42

About 6.5 inches in Vernon Valley. Several large branches down. 30 foot tree just came down in yard.

Wet flakes mixing in at top of Highland Lakes on way home. Temp 37

Pouring here in Sussex but no thunder as of yet with this first batch
