Trend continues of cutting totals for CNJ 

I do see that now, sure, but this was never supposed to be a storm of the century. Up til this afternoon the call on 1010 WINS was 4-8 with a tip toward the higher end. I never believed we were getting a foot. These kinds of storms, in my experience, tend to move fast enough that 8-10 seems to be high end. But I agree, at this point it can't be ignored. But heck, it's still a decent storm for us.

The storm is also trending towards a later bombing out towards Nantucket. That doesn't help once southwest of NYC. Philly might be in trouble and Monmouth south but I still doubt the NYC area is. 

Heaviest snows fall during the amplification process.. I'd say someone between SENY/LI, and SCT gets hit hardest

Well that would mean less in Middlesex County as well, which is a big county, but also might mean SI gets less. The more east it goes, the less it's a storm for NJ....obviously.

This plus the drier NAM for NJ and the latest HRRR are at least a little concerning for folks in Central NJ - definitely less to the SW of Middlesex County, towards Trenton/Philly, as we've sometimes seen in these events, due to less precip.  Look I'll still be happy with 7-8" but was loving the idea of 12" or so, which I know could still happen, but seeing data like these is at least a bit of a caution.

And the 0Z GFS joins the NAM, HRRR and the NWS in lowering snowfall for all of NJ, really, due to less precip as far as I can tell.  Still looks like 6-10", but not the 8-14" we were seeing in earlier runs of these models, and could even be less than 6" in places like Mercer County and southern Monmouth, especially if we lose some to sleet/rain.  Hopefully it doesn't get even worse than that.

I going to go with a solid 6 maybe 7 in Hillsborough..not too bad for me to plow and great timing as its not an overnight storm

Seems reasonable, but I gotta say it's a bit irritating to see people hyping a huge storm for most of the area all day and now we are leaning back toward what really, for us, is just a normal snowstorm coming after a freakish warm day....I know we are in a big subforum but jeez...

Jackpot has moved into the HV/LI/CT/NNJ area. Unfortunate for central nj/philly folks.

Is the speed the problem?

I think people bought into those Kuchera ratios...why on earth would we see 15-20-1 ratios with this storm, a good idea is to stick with the 10-1 maps....this is still a 6-9 inch storm for central jersey and on the models and 8-12 north of that. All the pro mets and experts and NWS  have done a great job right now because they never weenied out with the extreme amounts given the progressiveness....yes someone will get buried and we do not know who gets that delicious lollipop but most will fall in the 6-12 range

Mixing is a reason for cutting down amounts too. If you look at the RGEM color loop you see a few hours of mixing for Middlesex county before it goes over to all snow. Makes sense ... it's still very warm out there.

You're right, most of the forecasts I've been listening to have been going with 4-8 or a little more, no one was honking a foot or more except possibly in some areas, which do not look to be in CNJ right now.

What do you consider NNJ? To folks down the shore, the Driscoll Bridge is NNJ, and that area is definitely getting less at this point.

Jeez...

Heres the test. If outside your window at 7am it's not snowing heavily, then there's reason to worry about coming in under 8" or so. If it's snowing heavily by then, you should be good for maybe a foot or even more. A lot of this stuff is last minute model noise and trends on the edges that always take place. PHL is essentially where NYC was for Nemo and Juno, and they're the ones who might bust low, I don't see that happening in this area. But we're about to find out who's right and wrong. Hopefully this works out well for all, and appreciate it anyway if you end up with 6 or 7" vs 13".
