It looks like most of NJ is on the hook for at least significant snowfall, possibly a KABOOM (12 inches+).

Interesting. 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...

Updated map... it looks like the center of the state could take a pounding...

It's been crazy windy the past couple days, today, fairly still.  This must be the calm before the storm.

I texted the teenager next door to confirm his snow shoveling availability. I'm ready, too!

Nope. I will give him a tip though and he can buy his own beverage with it. He's 17 - it probably won't be hot cocoa.

A warm buttered roll would be lovely.

You sure he won’t give you the tip?

Yeah I just saw the equivalent update on WFMZ-2 out of Allentown. Now their forecast for Sussex County is 10-16".

More later.

NWS latest map puts them in the higher ranges for the center of the state. The totals really change only a few miles apart:

Salt....crap. I need to run out for salt.

calcium chloride.  It works better, does not poison soil and does not eat up carpets or concrete like rock salt.

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.

It’s still salt. And yes, that’s what I buy. 

[voyager9 3,434]

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.

My wife wouldn’t let me get one.

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.

[Scorpio64 5,156]

Nice big fluffy flakes falling here.  Not heavy yet.

[Sniper 6,372]

It's interesting how narrow the division lines are, from low totals to high totals. It's only a few miles in this current chart:

You're going to need that 4x4 tomorrow..

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

Maybe.  I'm in 07724, about 4 miles from the ocean.  It could go either way.

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.
