You don't think the sleet will hold? Lots of CNJ into steady sleet now....
-
Back to snow here after brief period of sleet, but intensity has dropped off. Oop as I write it just went back to sleet. Can hear it.

Directly across from SI... right on the water. Small town with an urban feel. Shares some municipal services with Woodbridge.

First sleet of daylight over here. Lighter band now. Haven't bothered to measure. Cleaned about 7-9 this morning at 6 am, just cleaned another 4-6...

How shall we celebrate your coming 50,000th post? Maybe a ticket to a ski resort in Argentina in July? Bariloche?

It was not a widespread slow down but " some" workers did work slower....the major reason for the snafu was on the city management, which delayed declaring an emergency, allowing too many people to park on the street. This was the major reason for the difficulty cleaning up. it also allowed buses to operate, many were stranded blocking intersections and streets.

Cant see far out my front window now. Hardest of the day. Wow. Isn't nature awesome...

Reminds me of Boxing Day in the metro region, though that storm plastered coastal areas with the worst ( I think Brick had 36 inches, as did Elizabeth ). It just kept pivoting over the city IIRC.

You still use a shovel? God bless you man. I've got a few snowblowers ( long story ) and neighbors asking to borrow; I've told them yes, but I'm not offering tutorials during a pandemic.
-
That has been reported; I don't remember the sleet, because it was such a wicked and long, and at the time, shocking storm. Seen a few storms nearly as big since then....

The sociology of the school system is in place as much to provide a safe place for kids while parents work ( "in loco parentis " ) as it is for anything else, as we are painfully learning. Likewise, there is little justification to bring many workers to the office when weather is bad, as many things in the financial and tech fields can be done from home. But this also means frontline workers of all stripes bear the brunt of things. Let's all wish them well as they are out there today so that we can stay home safely, whether it's first responders, utility workers, healthcare providers, grocery workers or delivery people.

Isn't this the heavy stuff? Can't imagine worse right now....

Covid will and has changed some things permanently. This always happens in history with pandemics. The Renaissance, the Roaring 20's, are two examples. One thing that is gone is the snow day, but that was happening anyway, as districts in the aughts and 2010's were blowing up too many snow days, and were already petitioning to use remote before all this happened; they were mostly rebuffed until recently.

A friend works at the mall; he reported sleet in Bridgewater for a time but heavy snow now.

Maybe its good I got out this morning and cleared some of it; I'm estimating 6-8 so far, hard to tell with drifts; flat areas only had 4-5 but it was plenty deep elsewhere; over a foot on the drift on my car.
-
Yeah it doesn't have the look of an 18-20 incher to me: but this is longer duration than storms we've had in recent years, which were quicker and heavier IIRC. We've not seen sleet here since daybreak; not sure what happened over night; it is snowing steadily but not "puking" as some would characterize it.....I already had some pretty heavy duty drifts this morning that challenged the machinery; so can't really complain. We'll see what Act 2 has to offer....
-
Suggests he might be in a temporary situation. Belford is on Raritan Bay, near Atlantic Highlands. It is the seat of the northern fishing fleet, what's left of it anyway.
-
Still it might be wise to do some cleaning up in anticipation of later precip, come what may. waiting for a little more light.
-
Wow. Belford is not " down the shore" its Raritan Bay, a few miles across from SI. No question that is very concerning. With sleet seen well into west central NJ already, one can't help but wonder. Still, everyone seems confident of a massive amount of snow coming.
-
So this lull is temporary then....sounds like a good time to do some cleanup while the opportunity exists....
-
Are we in a lull or is this the dry slot NWS was hinting out? They mention something in Mt Holly, but did not seem to think it would be persistent, if I read correctly.
-
we seem to have done real well in our area this time out; this is a good snowfall for us even if it stops here ( though I am assured it will commence once again; right now not much going on and don't know how long we sleeted ) so I will clean up soon in anticipation of more; I'm seeing various reports here that do make me wonder if we will have tons more, but I'm always a bit skeptical. Looks real nice out. Some decent drifts.
-
Haven't seen amounts like that in years; gonna be hard to believe it after all this time. Probably have to do two shifts of cleanup. Not a young lad anymore.

Seems underdone, we are at around 6 or so in Woodbridge. I confess I woke up to my wife shoveling outside, looked around, thought meh....didn't realize it was only around 1 am! Thought it was early morning....it's not coming down as hard ATM but I assume it will get cranking again....
