With the current high ratios I think 10-12" is in the cards 

High end moderate here, looks amazing. The ratios will lower to close to 10-1 as the warm mid level air comes in but the intensity will increase.

Mix line between DC/ Baltimore and MD east shore.

Read their forum they confirmed that the NAM was correct with the thermals FWIW.

[khushalg]

In CNJ near West Windsor, looks like 3.5” of snow and coming down with speed! 10-12” looks definitely possible before transition

Light and fluffy for all those that said this would be dense and wet hahaha

[Jersey_Snowhole]

3.5 - 4 Howell nj 

I think some of the warmer models are going to bust low. Let’s see

[sussexcountyobs]

Just measured 4". 1" new in last hour.

Heavy snow beginning right now. +4.3F

[weatherpruf]

kinda meh over here; was ripping very early but rather light for the last 45 mins or so. gonna need to pick up the pace considerably to make it to 6. most mets calling for 8-12 here, we'll see. bitter cold out; managed to get my walk in the mall; just me, the guard, the cleaners, a couple cops hanging out under the parking deck, and a few homeless taking shelter in the mall, with no one giving them any grief on a day like this. i'd say about 3 and change otg so far; roads are empty so easy drive and not too bad at all. visibility was excellent.

You think 18 is possible north 287… I’m in Hawthorne NY

Absolutely.. I think once N of NYC 12"+ will be the norm not the exception.

16.0/5.7   moderate snow with 3" on the ground here in NE Monmouth Co.

[SACRUS]

 

Steady Eddie snow up to 3.5 here (Monroe,NJ)

 

[Dark Star]

Maybe 2" in Garwood, 12 degrees and snowing moderately.  "Pinging" against my nylon shell parka.  the township has plowed twice, already.  I understand the desire to keep roads open, but isn't there a balance?  I thought everything cost money...

[Tatamy]

Storm total now up to 3”.  9/6.  Visibility 1/4 mile.

the drivers are paid for the whole shift; if they aren't doing something people will complain they are being paid to sit around. even though they are permitted to take breaks.

Everything does cost money but the employees are already in work and getting paid, regardless if they're are plowing or just sitting in their trucks idling.

About 3" in Port Jeff Station and coming down borderline heavy. Beautiful out there.

Fairly accurate depiction of the snow / sleet / mix

 

[allgame830]

So like 11am to 4pm is supposed to be the insane rates? 

[EasternLI]

1" OTG and snowing pretty hard now 13F

[Bxstormwatcher360]

In the brief time snowing,ive gotten 3+ inches already. Currently heavy snow,9/7f. This The type of snow you can see pile up per min. 

[wthrmn654]

Sister says it's very very icy in Tennessee  trees are  breaking etc

[Volcanic Winter]

This is beautiful so far. I’m already closing in on the lower 5 inch threshold Mt Holly reduced me to before bumping me back to 6-10. Unless the snow shuts off relatively soon, I’d say 8-10 is looking likely. 20f. And that’s before any sleet. I’m inland enough from the coast (well west of Pkway), hoping to avoid the early rain switch they’ve progged for the barrier islands / immediate coast. We’ll see. Already this has been great, regardless of where it goes. 

Pleasantly surprised, the thump is thumping. The air mass was our savior, and should really safeguard the city IMHO. Hoping for bigger and totals for them.

[SACRUS]

Such a dry , powdery champagne type snow that the slightest breeze makes it look very gusty.

Thankfully the Austin TX area which I'm very familiar with got mostly sleet with some ZR. Would have been devastating if the 0.5" liquid fell as all ZR. It was kind of a crap shoot as to whether the cold surface air would be dense enough to refreeze the raindrops. In the areas where not, it was clear this would be a devastating event in places.

I think there's a freezing rain zone later just a little bit inland in NJ, hard for me to see how this kind of cold surface air gets dislodged. Still in the mid teens there.
