Just a winter weather advisory now :-(

Awesome... I hope this holds true as I can't wait to get to SR for the weekend!

ENJOY!!!

WAHHHOOOOO!!

Now to plan my escape...

 

[St. Bear]

Heavy snow and whiteout conditions all along the western portion of I-78 in NJ. I don't know when it started, but there's already a couple inches on the ground.

 

[Zand]

NWS is already haywire on this one up here. Forecasted low for tonight still says 23... but it's 10 right now. Latest I've heard is 6-12" here in Lyndonville so I'd say the mountains are looking at at least a foot, probably more.

 

[Greg]

Close to 5" here this morning. 29 degrees and dumping. Still calling for a change to rain later this morning, but hoping the north country does well out of this.

 

[wa-loaf]

Dumping, 27, back to Winter storm warning and totals have been bumped to 4-8.

 

[Greg]

Just heard the first bit of sleet mix in. Time to clear the driveway before the change to rain.

 

[billski]

Looks like 2-3" at 7AM in Lex.
NWS forecast adjusted since last night - now shows significantly higher accumulations throughout the state: 7" east and central, and the berks/WCT will see 9+

 

[WJenness]

Looks like 2-3" at 7AM in Lex.

Same in Chelmsford...

Gotta head to North Andover in a bit... not looking forward to the construction on 495.

[KingM]

They're saying 5-9 in the Mad River Valley. I'm hoping the mountains see a bit more.

 

[Glenn]

We got a good 4"+ of snow...kinda surprised me. Looks like they're still calling for 5-10" of snow in Southern VT.

Of course, the news was going ga-ga this morning over the roads and just about all the schools are closed. I put the Jeep in 4wd and drove slow. I made it work just fine. It took longer...but I made it. This state is crazy.

 

[frozencorn]

About an inch or so in SE Mass. Changed on the commute. Nothing but rain in Boston.

 

[RootDKJ]

Nothing by ncp here now. By the looks of the radar, the Pocono's are getting the same thing

 

[MogulQueen]

We have at least 6 inches and its falling fast!

P.S. I live next to Sundown

 

[drjeff]

About 4" of heavy, wet snow in NE CT. Still 29/30 degrees outside and snowing at a good clip. I'm thinking that the DOT got caught offguard a bit with the forcasted trends late yesterday for more of a very quick change ocer to sleet/rain after only an inch or 2 of snow here based on how cr@ppy and unplowed the roads were this AM in my neck of the woods. And I'm 99.9% sure that the guy who plows my office parking lot wasn't expecting it to stay snow for as long as it has based on the 1st tracks I got when I pulled into my office this AM

The good thing for ski country is that if it's taking longer for the cold air to be displaced than forcasted in the flatlands, then it should be the same in the mountains

Right-O. 31*F and heavy sleet now. Usually these slizzards down here mean major dumpage in NNE. Just cleared 5-6" of snow and gonna trek into work soon. Should be fun with all the ying yangs driving around...

 

[Greg]

The Intellicast radar never ceases to amaze me with its accuracy:

I'm right at the northern edge of the mix line and it seems to be right on. Hopefully NNE gets dry-slotted before any damaging rain moves in. For now - the snow and sleet is fantastic base building material.

 

[skidbump]

Just switched to rain in Hyde Park...only took 30 min to get the rain/snow line from ossining to me...Let the flooding begin...Total for me was about 4/5 inches of wet snow

 

[jaywbigred]

Pouring rain here, but there was some slush on the ground around my office, which is on top of a hill. Amazing what even an extra 100 feet can mean!

Build that base!
