Thank you Don, this looks great and I appreciate the kind response. 

Would you also happen to know of a similar webcam that would show things from a more grassy open area with the same sort of quality?

You’re welcome. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any such webcams in Central Park or the New York Botanical Garden.

Snow sticking to roadways. Forgot what it's like to have a cold air mass prior to a snowfall.

Just got back from getting takeout (Woodstack in Metuchen - really good flatbreads, pastas and specialty dishes).  Roads getting pretty bad as we now have 2.25" as of 6 pm (3/4" the last hour), which is definitely beyond what was expected now (<1" on all models).  Still 24F and snowing moderately - big fluffy flakes, so I'm guessing our snow/liquid ratio is at least 15:1 (usually about 10:1 here).  

And up to 2.75" OTG in Metuchen at 7 pm at 23F.

Steady light snow. 16.5°

Maybe .75" so far.

New Jersey Turnpike = ice road trucker, Southern State/LIE was bone dry. Snow all the way from South Jersey to Coney Island.

Car is covered in ice and salt spray, license plate is completely encased, hoping I wasn’t charged any tolls lol.

23/14 here. Zero snow on the ground.

I loved the old days when you put many things together in a post.

Latest HRRR has the city (minus SI) reaching an inch of snow around 11:00 PM. Looks as though we should beat that.

Snowing lightly for about 30 minutes. Sticking to everything at 23 degrees.

Agree most forecasts didn’t really have accumulating snow in the city until after midnight so we may be ahead of schedule 

[NJsnow89]

Latest HRRR is also bringing the mix line very close to the city 

[kat5hurricane]

Light snow just commenced in Whitestone and immediately started sticking everywhere. Nothing like a cold powdery snow to start off a big storm.

[Rjay]

A few flurries 

[Northof78]

Yes, but I'm not putting much stock in hour 18 of the HRRR.

HRRR is pretty useless beyond 6-12hrs

That being said it already shows many parts of NJ at a foot by early afternoon. There will likely be a band that drops 2-4" in an hour.
