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 fired up my Snowblower and topped of the tank with some fresh fuel.   I'm ready

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 hot treat of some sort, then? Naughty Mrs Peel!! 

Behave yourselves! Let's not derail this nice wholesome thread.

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. 

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.

#metoo

it's sleeting where i live right now. i'm one town over from dt

Nice big fluffy flakes falling here.  Not heavy yet.

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.
