Heavy snow in Kearny, nj.  Started 10 minutes ago and is ready coming down. 

Heavy here (monroe township) too. Looks like 1/2” down already. Was not really expecting this. 

[NorthShoreWx]

Temp has skyrocketed near the coast from the teens to above freezing.  Any reports of rain?  That will be disasterous for the commute.  Road surfaces must be cold.

[Dan76]

36 here

[Dan76]

Snowing with a gusty south wind weird.

[wxman]

newark at almost 54...rivals 94 actually....that's a blockbuster winter in these parts.. and maybe we ain't done yet; these kinds of years almost always throw out a march sleet or paste event, sometimes an april one too.

The big story in 1994 was the heaviest snows setting up in Central and Eastern PA due to the super gradient that winter. A number of spots set their all-time snowiest season. Several 100”+ amounts in the Poconos and Central PA .Those were the days of the big Miller As east of the APPS that we haven’t had in a while. It was the all-time snowiest in State College.

Heavy snow. Roads whitening up quick at the Brooklyn/Queens border near the Belt Parkway 

[kat5hurricane]

Nice refresher, everything outside of main roads covered and it actually came down heavy for a time. It's just one of those winters that loves to snow.

Not enough amplification for that one. Early March is a good window though as long as the arctic dome doesn't overpower the shortwave. 

Looks like a SWFE type of system on a smaller scale that we had in Jan per the GFS, other models aren't as enthused though.

Heavier snow from this weenie clipper band than anything from Sunday/Monday. Easily an inch so far in 15 min

[Bxstormwatcher360]

This band keeps regenerating,also the back edge has a band forming. Good lift in the area.

[NorthShoreWx]

Moderate snow  33/30.  Less than half an inch so far.  Side roads covered, main roads not yet.

[Dark Star]

1.0" in Garwood NJ, as the snow has tapered off to a light flurry...

[LoboLeader1]

30F here, an 1" OTG. Slick spots on the Hutch, auto body shops promote this kind of wx.
