What is the timing for this? I'm teaching platform tennis out in bedminster from 1-6pm tonight. Wondering if 78 will be disaster on the way home to madison by that time?

 

[Rhuarc]

Flurries started in Hopewell or so my kids tell me.

Could be 1" on the ground by 6 pm and every flake willl stick on untreated roads given cold temps in the upper 20s. 78 will likely be fine, but backroads could be starting to get tough.

Also, just wanted to give people a heads up that snow has already started (lightly) in SE PA/SNJ and will start in most of CNJ by 3-5 pm with 1-2" possible by early evening, which is faster than originally predicted.

We likely won't see heavy snow until well after midnight, with maybe 3-4" by sunrise in CNJ. But then the heavy stuff moves in. I would not want to be on the road after about 7 am Monday as we'll likely see a foot of snow fall between 7 am and 7 pm Monday, almost everywhere north of 195/276 (and maybe down into Philly/SEPA/SNJ too).

I’m worried about flooding as I live by the South River in Old Bridge. I have 3 cars in the drive way and moving them will be a PITA but of course I will if I have to. Is flooding a certainty @RU848789?

Nothing in Philly so they might be pulling a fast one on you.

Oh crap. Add Robbinsville to the flurries list.

Just watched a minute YouTube video on it. Looks like combination of tennis and Raquel ball except you play with 4

 

[czxqa]

Snowing already in Newtown. Also in East Windsor where my buddy lives.

This is NOT Sandy level flooding or even Irene level. If you normally flood from nor'easters then prepare for some minor to moderate coastal flooding, but if you don't I wouldn't worry about it.

 

[RUScrew85]

Oh crap. Add Robbinsville to the flurries list.

And now you can add us to the light-medium snow list.

 

[Postman_1]

Seems to be starting earlier then expected. Flurries in Hamilton now. It’s sticking to sidewalk and cars

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Flurries in Lambertville too. C’mon, I thought I had a few more hours.

 

[RU_DIO]

Flurries down the shore for the last half hour.

 

[WhiteBus]

Maybe. Santa can't get hit with snowballs without snow.

How is he supposed to know if your street will flood? It’s such a local thing as street flooding varies from block to block in any town

 

[newell138]

Furries down here in OC

You're officially whining, lol. You're going to get at least 10" and maybe a few inches more than that.

I don't know man. Snow is stopped here in R-ville. Just a dusting. That's it? ; )

More of just a weird observation. Storm is approaching from the South and West. Yet towns 30 + miles North and West have been reporting snow for an hour.

True. Several times I've been high and dry yet walk around the corner and see 1-2 feet a couple blocks away.

As you know, the issue is doing whatever possible to aviod salt water hitting your car. That's why I always err on the side of caution.

Yup, grab the clubs and play 18. It should be fine.

We had 15 min of flurries here in chester county, PA so far and then it stopped and I think I am South and West of you.

 

[borochop]

Just got back from Hunterdon Co for the little ones horseback riding. A few very minor flakes, but nothing of consequence.
