I wonder how badly the accumulation totals will be off by. I realize this pretty much only affects the NW part of the state but the last time they said 3 to 5 it turned into 17.

 

My prediction is it goes the other way. We get just a dusting, and everyone else in the state gets rain.

 

I did get my winch rigged up on my plow. For what it's worth, this light duty plow works great! Seen here from oct: http://thewellrats.c...lowresults2.jpg

 

You don't need the winch but since I like to tinker and have access to milling machines and such, I went ahead and built something out of structural aluminum.

... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 10 PM this evening to

4 am EST Thursday...

 

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a Winter

Weather Advisory for snow... which is in effect from 10 PM this

evening to 4 am EST Thursday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer

in effect.

 

* Locations... far northwest New Jersey including Wantage... Vernon

and Newton.

 

* Hazard types... snow.

 

* Accumulations... 3 to 5 inches of snow... .heaviest in higher

elevations. <---my driveway is at 1250 feet. Few people live any higher than that in NJ.

 

* Timing... rain changes to snow from west to east in the County

between 10 PM and midnight and then ends by 4 am.

 

* Impacts... travel should become treacherous for several hours

around midnight.

 

* Winds... northwest 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph... .but

gusts to 35 mph near High Point.

 

* Temperatures... drop suddenly in the upper 20s and lower 30s...

within an hour oe 2 of the change to snow.

 

* Visibilities... one quarter to one half mile at times with

accumulation rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour for an hour or 2.

 

* Variability... amounts may be highly variable and are elevation

dependent. Final storm totals in the County may range between 1

and 6 inches. This has to do with the amount of precipitation

still falling once it is cold enough to snow.

 

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

 

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow... sleet... or

freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for

slippery roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while

driving.

Thats one heck of a lawn your neighbor is growing on there roof !!

The ground is too warm for anything significant. The streets with only get wet and the grass a possilbe very light dusting in NJ. That will be it.

Yeah, I noticed that. Weird affect.

Had about an inch of slushy frozen crap on the car, nothing on the ground. They blew it again.

 

And the winner was:

They had salt trucks putting salt on the ground all over..... but nothing froze...
