We usually get the heaviest snowfall rates just before it mixes.

Solid snow in here 

[NJsnow89]

Very light snow in Piscataway NJ. Hopefully it picks up soon

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

Grew up in nyc area, came up from the dc area and visiting my parents in Yorktown.  Radar looks amazing!!

[Rtd208]

Estimating 1.0" of accumulation here so far.

[sussexcountyobs]

Down to 20° with snow. Side roads getting slippery.

[nycsnow]

Turnpike at mile marker 56.6  is getting pounded right now.

Cannot see and snow is covering the road which is hard to do on the turnpike.

3km NAM continues to show a potentially bogus solution changing EWR/JFK to sleet at 01z.  All the way to LGA and White Plains by 02Z then it miraculously falls back below Staten Island again.  both of those won't happen.  Either it changes at 01Z and never goes back or it doesnt change til 05-06

This was why I posted the NAM looked horrid

[NJsnow89]

Anyone have the gfs??

Can everyone live with this??? I think it's realistic, with another 1-4" coming I80 LI after 5AM and 3-6" coming after 5A n of I80 in far nw NJ/ne PA and se NYS CT. 

 

We'll see if this comes down a bit in future cycles?

If I lived in Wayne County, PA i could live with it

There's those two little blobs of pink in NJ. One over my house. One over High Point.

I like that the Low placement is still along the coast and has still not gone inland. Hope this continues

The surface low isnt the problem...its the H7 low

Nice

For those worried about the sleet in HRRR,

1. It's very unreliable past hour 10.

2. You CAN continue accumulation once sleet mixes in as long as its not PURE sleet. 

In 2017 March had 7 inches snow. Turned to heavy sleet with snow. Added another 2.5 inches in 3 hours. Snow depth was 9.5.

Starting to mix in Philly now.
