The storm that will bring much of the region its biggest snowfall in nearly three years remains on track...

As of 3:20 pm, heavy snow is falling in Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Reading. Moderate snow is falling in Allentown. This snow will progress east-northeastward during the remainder of this afternoon.

Steadier accumulating snow will move into Newark and New York City between 4 pm and 5 pm. Snow could fall heavily at times from 6 pm in Newark through 9 pm in New York City. Most of the expected 3"-6" of snow will fall during that timeframe.

Snow will taper off to flurries and end near or just after midnight. It will turn much colder overnight with the mercury falling into the lower 20s by tomorrow morning.

Don, do you think this will be bigger than the storm we had last February? That was a nice heavy snowfall.

4 MTR sites with 1/4 S+ in se PA now...should advance ne next several hours.  have had very little the past 90 min. stuck near .4" so far in Wantage NJ.  Other places se of Wantage in NJ doing better. 

That's amazing since you are only a 20 minute drive up 23? I'm eyeballing maybe 2.5-3" right now. Will measure when I go out to shovel in a bit. Steady snow falling. 25.9°

For most of the City (NYC and LGA, included), this should be bigger. JFK got 4.2" on 2/13 last year. I suspect that figure will also be surpassed.

Starting to snow in Philly again as the radar is filling in to there sw

Nothing like a walk in the snow with the mutt. I always remember Mark Twain; if you take in a stray dog and it prospers, it will remain loyal. This is the chief difference between dogs and people.......

Just shoveled again. 2.5” here with snow rates picking back up.

Don, was that the storm with the heavy stripe of snow just to the south of the city?

Yes. Places like Clifton, NJ picked up 9.5" of snow.
