I'm expecting the heaviest (moderate/borderline heavy) snowfall rates from this storm between 4-8am. That's about a half to one inch/hour for 4 hours. And it adds up in most places to 2-5". At this point I think there'll be alot of 2 and 3" amounts a few 4s and a few 5s. The duration of light/wet snow losing an inch or two of what could have been. The dynamics are poor but I think there'll improve slightly as we get on into the morning.

WX/PT

There might some good rates later,the radar is lighting up to our sw. Some added moisture from the gulf is helping rn.

After a nice nap, at 3:00 am we're up to 1.6" and snowing moderately at 32F and I just finished my first round of shoveling. Needless to say, it's gorgeous out there, especially with light wind and the snow sticking nicely to all of the trees. What I shoveled was fairly wet, but what is falling now are much drier dendrites of a higher snow to liquid ratio, I'm sure.

At 4:00 am up to 2.3" at 32F so 0.7" the last hour and it's snowing close to heavily with beautiful 3/8" dendrites.  Thinking we'll come close to my 5.0" forecast, but not sure if we'll make the 6" warning criterion. 

4-5" looks spot on right now. South Central Jersey will get the enhanced rates for a longer period. Some 6-8" amounts likely there.
