Now that is better! Hvy Snow, winds blowing and visibility is a few hundred yards.

Edit: That hvy burst has eased up a bit to moderate levels. Accumulating nicely.

I just cleared the railing before the snow began about 15 minutes ago.

^{some morning thoughts}

^{1. sleet is mixing in across south NJ}

^{2. rain/snow line roughly from BWI to ACY at this time. It's not a fine line with mixing on either side.}

^{3. NAM soudings are colder once again!}

^{4. Not expecting much evap cooling with 32/28 at our office.}
