Been ripping snow since about 1 am and we now have 2" of thick, but fluffy snow on the ground and it's down to 31F - over 1" per hour the past hour.  Awesome snowball snow - just threw a bunch at random objects, lol.  

 

If that SPC report comes true, we'll get 1" per hour rates for the next couple of hours, before sleet and maybe rain mixes in.  Would love to get to 3-4" before that happens.  Love this statement from Upton:

 

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...

SNOW OVERSPREADING AREA FROM SW TO NE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND

WILL BECOME MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES. LATEST 00Z GUIDANCE

SUPPORTS AROUND HALF TO THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF LIQUID

THROUGH 8 AM. WHILE THE WARMER AIR MOVES IN ALOFT TOWARD

DAYBREAK...IT COULD BE A BATTLE WITH STRONG UPPER FORCING. ITS NOT

OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR 4 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOWFALL EVEN ALONG THE

COAST BY DAYBREAK. TEMP PROFILES ARE MARGINAL SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT

HIGH...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR DUAL POL RADAR DATA AND HIGH

RES MODELS.

 
Holy crap, it's pouring snow out there.  1.5" over the last hour and we're up to 3.5" here in Metuchen as of 3 am; still at 31F.  2 more hours of this and we'll get to 6".  I know Mt. Holly updated their advisories, but they ought to be thinking about issuing warnings.  
 
One other cool thing: it's absolutely still out there, which is unusual for moderate/heavy snow - and it's fairly wet snow, so it's accumulated perfectly on every tree/branch, without the wind - simply gorgeous.

did anyone notice  NWS Upton has given up and is now calling for 4-6 inches on the front end?? Last hour all major reporting stations accumilated 2 inches ( CPK LGA JFK , actually the last at 1.5). Kew Gardens at 3.2 inches and snowing heavily for the last 30 minutes after dinking to Mod for about 15 minutes.
