As of 9 pm, 6.5" in Metuchen, so 1.25" the last hour and it's down to 30F; snowing close to heavily but radar showed that really heavy looking band to my SE kind of fizzling to "normal" heavy snow. Just shoveled the end of the driveway, since the plows just went by and I hate letting that slushy mess freeze.

As of 10 pm, we were up to 7.5" in Metuchen, so 1.0" the last hour with moderate to heavy snowfall and it's still 30F; Just did my second shoveling and it was pouring snow during that time and 20 minutes later we had 3/4", which is over 2" per hour if it's sustained. Also, the last few inches of snow will pack somewhat, but it's much drier now - could make a snowball, but not a snowman - should've done that earlier, lol.

Congrats guys! Awesome event for you guys down there! It looks NOTHING like that up this way. Needed a bit more of a N motion & it looks like it may be a bit more east than initially progged. 

Heaviest totals are definitely more north and even west than most models showed earlier today, but a sharper cut off in totals out west perhaps.

Yardstick here says 8 1/2".
In a marginal temperature event, Metuchen will get more than me down here by the bay; I've seen it 100 times.  In cases, like this system, about the same.

Wind is getting serious. Any outages in Perth?

***Multiple Bands of Heavy Snow to Impact the Area Overnight***

Bands of heavy snow will move across the area through the overnight as low pressure rapidly intensifies to the south. Some of these bands will produce 2 to 3 inches per hour rates. However, in between bands, snowfall rates may drop off to about an inch per hour.

Farther to the west, across western portions of the Lower Hudson Valley and interior portions of northeast New Jersey there will be a sharp back edge to the heavy snow and some uncertainty as to how far these bands get. This could impact snowfall totals across this area.

Additionally, winds will become a factor as the night progresses. Blizzard conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening
