I regret not having an excuse to give my newish jeep some fun in the snow. 

Northern Hunterdon County here - flurries started around 1:00 (much earlier than I expected - why did I think this wasn't starting until tonight? ). A couple of inches have fallen already, and the plow just passed by for the first sweep.

Hmmm... if it's going to do this into Tuesday morning, it might actually turn out to be Snowmageddon!

It’s been flurries here in Burlco since then but real light. Only about half-inch on the ground. 

Ahhhh shiiiiiiiiiiit. 

For once I though sussex wasn't gonna get the worst of it... looks like things shifted up and over..

Yesterday, the forecast predicted  start time of 1800hrs here.  They were wrong.  It started around 1100.  We got less than 2" so far.  It's been going from fat light clusters to regular snow, no heavy or wet snow.  Falling slow, but steady.

Got beans?

I'll use exit 105 GSP as a point of reference.  We are at about 2" now, maybe a touch more, and it's coming down fine and granular.

 

My Gen 4 Ram was a beast in the snow, I'm excited to see how my Gen 5 does. The small storms we had so far I tried to kick out her ass end in just 4 Auto and couldn't, we'll see how she does tomorrow. 

Did a quick shovel tonight... about 5" so far I think?

Was ok out before - not too windy but then it started picking up.

Just changed a midnight poop. Probably 5 or 6" on my way to the trashcan. Going to hit the snowblower at first light. Good luck everybody else!

Yesterday I put new tires and wheels on my ride.  Solid 2 inches of lift.  I'm sure it won't even notice the snow. 

Looking at the maps this morning,  my house is sitting under a 42.8.  Lol.  I'll come back to 3 feet of frozen block.  

The whitest I’ve seen Hudson county in a while  

wasn't terrible at 6am.. starting to pick up now

you don't have enough power.

the roads i needed to use weren't that bad. i live one town east/southeast of tex. my shop's in cherry hill. only thing i really encountered that caused any issues was a few stupid people that had/have no clue how to drive in this stuff.

 i expected it to be worse, so had the truck home. if i'd have known this is all it was gonna be, i'd have had the subaru that i just finished at home instead.....

Blowing hard here now - and those that are saying "oh this wasn't bad" - the worst part is hitting today.  Last night was nothing.

I don't want to go too aggressive having put a ton of miles on my former Wrangler with mud terrain tires.  That thing never got stuck in the snow.  These road tires were sketchy going out for coffee this morning.

"Not that bad"

 

I love that crowed... 

1ft and counting so far. 

I saw few people shoveling yesterday afternoon after only an inch or two had fallen.

I was like, "Are they aware that there is going to be A LOT more behind that???"  This was like 5pm yesterday.

Depending on what's its doing later when I'm done with work I may get out there.  If not, see ya' all in the Spring!

I'm going out now to shovel the deck, for the exact reason that more is on the way. 

I'll leave the drive way for last because I have beast of a snowblower, but anything by hand is getting shoveled 3 times today.

I can see this conversation when you get pulled over for being out during a "STATE OF EMERGENCY".

Cop: "Sir, there is a State of Emergency as declared by his highness King Murphy.  What are you doing out today?"

You:  "Getting coffee."

Cop: "Sir, there is State off Emergency.  Nobody except essential personal should be out on the roads"

You:  "Well, it's essential I have my damn coffee.  Murphy going to make it for me!?"

Flash to you being arrest surrounded by 15 cop cars.....

I shoveled the walkways and cleaned off the cars.  Tried to get the layer of ice off to make cleaning easier once it switched back.

My locals wouldn't even bother trying to pull me over.  Worst case, I'd tell them that I was going to @Golf battery's place to help plow.

I ran those on my '91Wrangler from '97 to '03.  Loved them.

For those of you who actually got some accumulation - Drive Safe!

 

looks like we got around 6-7 overnight, changing to wet snow/rain mix now (1030)

Heavy snow here - estimating at least 8" to over a foot (depending on drifts).  Kid was up to her hips in it on the deck out back.

Liberals.  I'm surprised every day isn't a "state of emergency" for them.  Everything "triggers" them.

Nobody ever got "triggered" back in the 80s & 90s.  I hate that frigging word.
