As of 7:30 am, we have 2.25" in Metuchen (Edison area) and 24F. Only got 1/4" in the past hour or so; snow is falling lightly right now and has been pretty light the past hour. Need the snow to pick up a bit if we want to make 4-5". Local roads are all snow-covered. That radar makes it look like we only have 4-5 hours of precip left, unless we get some backbuilding...

I have 2.1 on the ground here in Clifton right now.

I see your concern, but I think if you watch central pa over the next hour and the intensity continues to improve, 3-5 should verify across the metro with maybe 6 here or there, perhaps 7 at upton. Interestingly, the snow here is very very fluffy...I was expecting closer to cement.

The storm looks like it is racing eastward. Not sure how those 3-6 inch amounts will verify. I only have less than an inch so far.

Surface temperatures should not be a problem at all for Long Island. Maybe for the beach but thats it. What we are looking for is mid-level warming, and whether or not it warms enough to changeover to sleet or freezing rain.

Yeah, I guess no one got those 5000 feet antenas for their weather stations, lol

I dont think tha changeover is going to be an issue for any real precip, when we lose the lift and forciing, may snizzle at the end, if at all
