When the choppy echos get here is when the sleet line will really surge north. For now still a pasting here.

Since this has been analoged to February 8, 1994, I want to see if we get similar heavy snowfall rates we had in that very memorable storm. The thundersnow was extremely memorable in that event but those snowfall rates brought true whiteout conditions for 2 hours.

That was just a wave more or less along a boundary, no surface low.  Outside of that first 3 hours only like 2 more inches fell, but 6 or so fell in 3 hours

As of 8:10 pm we're at 31F (but still only about 70% RH so not saturated at ground level yet) and we've gotten about 0.3" in 30 minutes with a very slick sleet layer on the bottom and then we had great snow for 10-15 minutes and now we're a mix again.  Going to be an interesting night.  

As of 8:30 pm, roughly 1 hour into the decent rate precip, it's pouring snow again (lots of switching) and we have 0.4" otg at 30F with RH up to 80%.

More snow than sleet now and it's accumulating nicely. Beautiful out there.

Dropped to 24 degrees here in Central Warren County on a slight north wind yet the sleet line has surged north up from I-78. All sleet currently. The snow was nice while it lasted...

what caused such an intense snowfall rate that day and the loud and frequent thundersnow?

Steady moderate snow. Eyeballing .5- .6 " new. 23.5°

That seems high but rates could be 12:1 right now, NYC has had .07 already so could be 1 inch easily here

Heavy snow

Echoes drop off in intensity here soon so some areas may see sleet mix back in but then another area of heavier echoes could cross after 930.  I would say 10-1015 the sleet line will probably cross the metro, it should begin moving quickly near or just before that

Heavy snow. Winter wonderland.

[jaysoner]

it's 32 now, down from 33-34, here in southern Bergen county. Started off as drizzle, then sleet/rain, sleet/snow, now it's all snow, quite heavy with flakes of all sizes. I haven't seen it snow this hard since the feb 1-2 2021 nor'easter. I'm hoping it can break 2 inches here before turning to slush. 10 years ago I'd be happy with no less than 8 inches, now i'm pleading for a quarter-that. Strange times.
