How much of the rain actually freezes on contact really depends on intensity and surface temps.
The 3k NAM has most of Northern Bergen and Southern Rockland sitting between 28 and 30 degrees when the heaviest is falling. Would think you would get pretty good accretion at those temps.
12z RGEM which has always been on the warmer side.
It actually has quite a long period of ZR but the precip isn't as intense as some of the other guidance.
Since when did this turn into the snowpack observation thread?
Yes the HRRR doesn't have much ice South of 287 in Rockland but the GFS, 06z 3K NAM and some of the other mesoscale models are still on board.
12z will be telling.
He should consider himself lucky.
Lost power for multiple days during the October snowstorm from 2011 and of course during Irene, Floyd, Sandy and Isaias.
The NAM gets sleet all the way down into the city before precip finally shuts off.
It's also not as robust as the GFS with the amount that falls during the day on Friday.
