Sleet again in Dyker heights  Temp back to 30.2 after getting to 32   Colts Neck back to  29.5 .

Not sure if that holds.

 

JFK just saw a quick 2 degree drop with more northerly winds.

It seems to just be plain rain here in Long Beach now-rain isn't freezing anymore to surfaces. But the trend towards getting colder has me pretty concerned. Another degree or two down and we're once again building ice up on trees, which already have a good amount of ice on them from before.

We have some ice on the trees and the temperature is just below freezing here...it's dropped off a bit with the moderate northerly fetch. Seems to be mostly sleet now.

Seems to be going back to a fine snow grain type precip here.  I no longer here the pellets hitting the windows.  And just had a good breeze blow through.  Could we be going back to snow for another couple/few inches before ending mid dayish?

Sleet changed to freezing rain around 5 am, with 2" of sleet accumulation here in Metuchen (Edison area).  Been ZR for the last 30 minutes and it's currently 30F.  The ZR has compacted the sleet to about 1.5" of sleet/slush; there's maybe 1/8" of glaze on my car windows - hard to tell if the ZR is going to accumulate, per se, or just be absorbed by the snow/sleet that's everywhere - the rain is falling too heavily to accumulate well, is my guess. 

 

Craig Allen just said on 880 AM that he's seeing the warm-up stopping its northward progression and it starting to reverse, as the coastal low takes over (I had mentioned the same in my email an hour ago) and winds shift to the NE, bringing colder air back in.  If he's right about that and I have no reason to doubt him, much of Central Jersey from maybe Trenton to Perth Amboy and points north/west of there up to about 78 may hold onto freezing rain for longer than expected (same for SE PA north of about 276). 
 
I know I just went outside and it's still just 30F and sleet has mixed back in with the freezing rain, indicating a deeper layer of cold air is now in place near the surface (i.e., implying more cold air has moved back in).
