December 13th Clipper System

Everywhere along and S of 78 is now above 32F, so unlikely to see much, if any, accumulations in this area, given fairly light precip rates.  Wouldn't expect to see much on the ground and certainly on the roads south of 80 (except maybe NW Morris and northern Warren, especially at the higher elevations). Radar looking decent north of 80, though - will be interesting to see if the moderate snow moves south of 80.  Interesting that the HRRR is showing dry conditions for all of NJ for the next couple of hours, which obviously represents poor initialization.

This same thing happened with that little squall that came over before Thanksgiving.  It's unfortunate that from now on, even minor events like this will be over hyped by the media and the DOT will continue dumping too much salt/sand.

The thing is today’s event had a chance of busting high and being 6”+ .00000001% and the November event by say 10%. That one came down to temps not available precipitation. So there really is no excuse for dumping loads of salt. Being that I’m in the horticulture industry my mind went right to vegetation but there are a ton of other negative consequences. Vehicles, pets and local waterways are just a few. We aren’t talking the same salt you sprinkle on food.

It's the city, the last thing they care about is the environment lol.  Light pollution, air pollution and now road pollution lol.  Let's see how many gazillion years it takes to clean up the Gowanus.
