That guy's prediction and the prediction I posted above are thinking the same thing, higher amounts, in the 12+ ranges. Yet, the National Weather Service is still only saying maybe 7". I guess we'll see tomorrow which way the predictions go... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

45Doll 5,848 Posted January 30, 2021 Yeah I just saw the equivalent update on WFMZ-2 out of Allentown. Now their forecast for Sussex County is 10-16". More later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper 6,372 Posted January 31, 2021 NWS latest map puts them in the higher ranges for the center of the state. The totals really change only a few miles apart: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldguysrule649 397 Posted January 31, 2021 I converted my Honda generator to propane over the summer. Had only ran it in warm temps. Did not want any bad surprises if I need it this week. So, Tested it yesterday in the colder (20-25 f) temps. Started and ran fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voyager9 3,417 Posted January 31, 2021 Seems they’re now predicting the warmer temps and rain/snow line moving more inland. What was 10-20” yesterday is 8” today. Hope they’re just being conservative. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

45Doll 5,848 Posted January 31, 2021 Now WFMZ Allentown is forecasting a 'box' of 20"+ over northern Hunterdon, Warren, and southern Sussex county. Oh joy. I'm still trying to figure out their new weatherman. I miss Christina. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sniper 6,372 Posted January 31, 2021 It's interesting how narrow the division lines are, from low totals to high totals.

InFamous 311 Posted January 31, 2021 I went to Netcong ShopRite earlier for their premade strombolis and beer....parking lot was absolutely packed and 10 more cars pulled in while I was driving around the parking lot. I just left and went to Sandy's for beer. I have plenty of food at home..I just wanted some damn strombolis LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those lines are so tight, if the low pressure moves a little further off the coast, it will change to snow.. I'm getting different predictions down here by me in Lacey.. Either 2-4 or 6-12... There's no consensus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
