The updated forecast map is pretty much the same, but now they seem more confident about the band of heavy snow, which is basically the whole Pines.


* Storm total snowfall of 2 to 5 inches is expected across much of the region.

* A narrow band of heavy snow is likely to setup with amounts of up to around 7 inches. The highest probability for this being south and east of the I-95 corridor (highlighted area on the snowfall forecast map).

* Within the narrow band, snowfall rates up to 2 inches per hour are possible.

Coming down well right now. Looking out the window I would say 2 inches so far.

At least for me, they really missed the mark on this one. Looks like about two inches - not complaining though. :)

Updated snowfall totals. Maybe you are still in Ocean County after all? :D Have not been outside yet, was just looking out the window and can't even see the car. I probably did get more like 4", but the ground was still warm when it started, the last snow had already melted on my unpaved driveway. So this snow probably was compacted on the ground. Anyway, this is nothing like the 13" we had last time!

[edit]Just had a look... about three inches on the car roof.

At least for me, they really missed the mark on this one...

That was the last storm for me, this forecast was pretty good here (and didn't flip/flop a bunch either)
Roads were covered on my way to Philly 5AM ish and a few co-workers had "offroad" excursions

Another one is coming this weekend but it's not clear exactly how it will affect us. Most of what I've read suggests that we will dodge the worst effects and get snow that transitions into rain. This is what the Natl Weather Service is predicting at this point

National Weather Service briefing now available. No change to the map above. They will be updating at 6:00 PM.

_______________________________________

* Minor tree and line damage will be possible for coastal locations Sunday night as wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph are expected

* Minor coastal flooding is expected with the Monday morning high tide with locally moderate coastal flooding is possible on the northern NJ coast

* Wintry precipitation late Sunday afternoon through early Monday could cause hazardous travel conditions especially Sunday evening into Sunday night when the precipitation is snow or changing to a wintry mix. The area most likely to be affected is the southern Poconos and NW NJ

I see on the news that the near southern states are going to be hit very hard by ice. 1/2" in some places and possible 2 feet of snow in the Apalachians. I'm very glad to receive just rain.

Updated briefing shows pretty much the same snow pattern as above. For the Pines, looks like high winds on Monday will be the main issue.


* Wintry precipitation this afternoon through early Monday could cause hazardous travel conditions especially into tonight when the precipitation is snow or changing to a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain. The area most likely to be affected is the southern Poconos, with lesser impacts in the Lehigh Valley and NW NJ, and down towards I-95.

* Minor tree and line damage will be possible for coastal locations tonight as wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph are expected. Gale force winds expected on the waters.

* Power outages possible in the southern Poconos where strong winds could occur after snow and ice has already begun to accumulate.

* Minor coastal flooding is expected with the Monday morning high tide on the northern NJ coast. A Coastal Flood Advisory is now in effect.

* Strong NW winds are likely on Monday afternoon and Monday night for southeast PA and most of NJ. A Wind Advisory may be needed.
