Enjoy man! Curious to see if your blizzard warnings end up verifying. How much do you think you have so far? 
Gotta be at least 4, haven't had a chance to measure, just eyeballing it. Don't know if we'll verify out on this end, but the barrier islands I think definetly will.

As of 11:30 pm, up to 1.8", but only 0.3" the last hour, as the intensity let up some. Down to 29F. Radar looks like some heavier bands are en route.

As of 12:30 am, we're up to 2.25", for almost 1/2" the past hour and just in the last few minutes it started really picking up in intensity and I see the radar finally showing over 20 dBZ. Maybe we can get into 1" per hour rates, being not too far from the SPC's mesoscale discussion about 1-3" per hour rates through much of SNJ and the coast for the next few hours. 28F.

The more intense bands which were only in NJ making their way into lower Mont/Bucks counties. And right around Reading seems to be the cutoff line for the past several hours...

26/Steady snow

I was headed to sleep… Based on this, I’ll stay up:)

Only barely snowing out, we have maybe a dusting if I'm honest. Which was completely expected. What I do find interesting is just how alight out it is outside. I can see the entirety of my back yard, as if it were a clear sky under a full moon. That's odd because the moon is a waning crescent right now; must be all the suburban lighting being diffused and refracted by the fine snow falling here atm.

I gotta say, I'm usually depressed when there's a big snow event and we end up missing out on the totals, but for whatever reason, I'm really enjoying this. Perhaps it's because it's the middle of meteo winter and there's still plenty of oppo to cash in for my region, or perhaps it just feels more normal to have legit cold weather and frozen precip rather than marginal temps and slop.

So, up to 3.0" at 1:30 am, meaning 0.75" the last hour, with greater intensity, obviously, and the radar continues to look quite good, with moderate to almost heavy snow coming down - probably 3/8 of a mile visibility. Down to 27F.

Definitely heavier now as the more intense echoes move in...

26F/Steady mod snow

What a thing of beauty! 

Currently 28F with moderate snow. Measured 1.6" of new (coastal) snow at 1 am, total including pre-coastal of 3.5". Also getting almost windy at times. Nice outside shovelling at 1 am with snow hitting you in the face...doesnt get much better!

And now up to 3.75" as of 2:30 am, for another 3/4" in the last hour.  After measuring, which was difficult with the 20-30 mph winds moving the snow around so much, I went ahead and did my first shovel of the storm.  I love shoveling in the dead of night without a soul around, in the perfect silent beauty of a gorgeous snowscape (in what's usually a busy town).  And it gives me an excuse to be out in the snow.  Was snowing moderately most of the time - we've been right on the edge of going consistently over 20 dBZ, but the band just won't quite get over us, although it's certainly better than 15 miles NW of me.  Down to 25F.

As of 3:30 am, we're up to 4.25", as we got 1/2" last hour with somewhat diminished intensity, although the radar and my eyeballs are indicating intensity picking back up again now. Really want to get into some of those 1"+ per hour bands that look to only be 15-20 miles SE of me. Down to 24F.

Wind starting to pick up and the light fluffy nature of the snow is making it difficult to get a good measurement. Averaged around 2.5” measuring in multiple spots across the yard away from roofs and trees. 3” including this mornings snow. My snowboard is useless tonight though lol I think we are in good shape to hit warning criteria down here with the HRRR not tapering things off until noon tomorrow. I think between 2-6 am should see our heaviest stuff though or it may just be this steady .5”/hr stuff though until it lightens up. All in all pretty good storm so far down here. Would love to hear more reports down on SNJ. They look to be getting slammed. Definitely on track for my expectations of 6” though. I definitely recommend taking a night walk which I may do in a few hours. Feels like SNE powdah storm. I’m enjoying this one so far. Chasing just doesn’t have the same memorability as experiencing it in your backyard.  No knock to anyone that chases though, different strokes for different folks.

Normally I’d agree but down here at Hard Rock Casino in AC I’ve been in moderate to heavy for a while, drifting, sideways snow….snow accumulations right to the crashing surf.  Wouldn’t trade this one for playing the fringe game at home again.

Ripping fatties on Barnegat Bay...  Much to my dismay, my GSP will hunt in any condition, but wanted no part in the 40+mph wind and sideways snow.  Going to be nearly impossible to measure snow.  Have bare ground less than 5 feet from 3+ foot drifts.  Wind keeps increasing.
