  1. I've had more trouble with dry air then any rain today. Things have kinda stopped again.
  2. Did we get that heavy sleet band out here? I was under one in New Brunswick an hour ago. I mean heavy.
  3. It's damn cold out; was gabbing with the post man, comiserating about life. Fingers started getting numb in minutes.
  4. Just drove the kid to Rutgers New brunswick. There wasn't much going on here but as I got to the Raritan River all hell broke lose. Intense sleet bands near Douglas. And kids walking around in pajamas ( kids today ). It was pretty bad, but kinda peaceful from the car. back in Woodbridge now to light snow and the normal precip hole.
  5. Well they were wrong, and no one was predicting all rain but them.
  6. They expected rain sooner, and in some areas there was some brief drizzle but it switched back. RIght now is an all out sleet event. Sleetstorm must be in his glory.
  7. Let's be frank; it's nasty out. It isn't snow so some people don't GAF. But this is inclement weather by any standard.
  8. I don't think so. It is horrendous out right now. People just don't take things seriously enough. It's just not bad all over the state. But it's pretty bad here right now, and lights are starting to flicker.
  9. No, you cannot. Call your local first responders. They will be on alert and taking this seriously.
  10. It isn't nothing even down here. Right now it is pouring sleet. Really hazardous and wouldn't go out if you don't have to. If you have to it's passable, but I'd postpone the saxophone or karate lessons....
  11. Friend in Princeton texted rain with some snow an hour ago. No one else reporting that though.
  12. Well you are in the snow magnet, so of course you're getting some snow:) ( although none of us as been a magnet this year ! )
  13. I think for our area everyone expected some snow then sleet. If it had started earlier we had a shot of 2-4. Looks like it will make it to 2 of sleet; I've had a few light spells but it has picked up again. Tested out the new snowblower on the sleet and of course it went through it like a knife through butter. Will have to see what happens when we get a deeper event ( likely next year IMHO )
  14. What would this mean for our immediate area Mark? I'm just west in NJ. Freezing rain is the only thing that worries me today.
  15. Well we aren't even getting heavy sleet....I'm getting light sleet and it looks like things may even be breaking up. Dry air intrusion? SUbsidence? Someone needs to look into why NE Middlesex Co always seems to be in the subsidence/ dry air zone. This would definitely be called a dusting when I was a kid.
  16. Yes. It isn't all about accumulations. School days are built in to the calendar. Unlikely we'll use them all this year. Perhaps they should do SEM by county, as clearly some will be more impacted than others.
  17. The question is will that be a freezing type rain; if so that is very serious for the evening commute.
  18. I'm always in that hole. But it is sleeting now.
  19. That's my worry, that the ice hangs on. This is the thing that people underestimate. It's not all about accumulations.
  20. It won't be a nothing burger up there. However, it is not that bad down here in CNJ ( techincally this is barely NNJ but whatever ) but still not a nothing burger. If you don't drive carefully you can get hurt, simple as that.
  21. ANd just like that it is sleet. We will not seen anywhere close to the high end. really needed that early start. Not surprised. Conditions are not terrible and Rutgers will resume classes at noon. Kinda sucks for my son, has classes til 8. Should just be plain rain by then but I don't trust these forecasts. Could be ice. Worst thing to drive in IMO.
