so how much snow for Central Jersey before the changeover....1-2 or 3?

No it's still a decent front-end thump before the changeover...probably like 3-6".  The changeover seems to be occurring at about the same time on these latest runs as it has before (around 3z or so)...but the surface temps seem to be warming much faster which limits our icing potential and switches us over to rain quickly.  We'll see what happens but Mt. Holly is expecting around a quarter inch of ice here so they must be thinking that the surface cold will stick around longer than what these runs are showing...

By Central Jersey, do you mean Mercer/Middlesex/Monmouth, or do you include northernish counties like Hunterdon in that?

The GFS even has LGA above 0C by 02z at 925mb but if it's snowing hard enougjh that could be held off another hour or two honestly the snow totals really come down to if many areas go over at 1-2Z or 3-5z

If people compare the models to actual temps happening now you will see they are busting too warm.

Take a look at south Jersey. They are in the 20's already. Models said 30's[/quot

Not sure the models had me at 34 at midnight, but we will overlook that to back up your point ;-)

Man, the RGEM is cold. The precipitation type maps are showing zero rain west of Newark. All frozen.

Far upstate NY currently has temps ~ -5 to -15 and dps of ~ -15 to -25. Closer to Albany temps single digits and dps slightly below zero. Let those seep this way.
