Zoo - the sleet is just pouring on my house now - holy crap 2x over with freezing rain - I can't believe we can get his much ice out of little system like this.

How about by you?

Just went and checked mugs...changing to rain...31°

There is nothing like walking in a 33º rain in Manhattan on sidewalks under water due to iced over drains. It's plain RATCHET outside.

by **snow247** Tue Mar 03, 2015 8:30 pm

Looks like Freezing Rain here now, 27*

I don't want plain rain.

by **algae888** Tue Mar 03, 2015 8:41 pm

looks like back edge of precip in extreme e/pa the precip over c/w pa looks to be breaking up and heading south of us. I would expect another couple of hours of steady precip and then more spotty the rest of the night.

Yeah, it changed to sleet earlier than I thought for sure. It's absolutely ripping sleet right now. It's going to be a bitch to shovel tomorrow.

I don't know if you guys are old enough to remember the march 1993 storm. 17 inches of snow followed by 3 inches of sleet. This reminds me of the sleet part of that storm.

I remember that one. I think they called it the Super storm of 93 on TWC.

CP, I remember that storm like it was yesterday, crazy.

by **SNOW MAN** Tue Mar 03, 2015 8:53 pm

23* and sleeting moderately. Have about 1 inch of snow with 2 inches of sleet on top of that.

Sleet and freezing rain - pouring 31* wow

by **NjWeatherGuy** Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:00 pm

After an inch of snow and sleet, over to nasty zr at 31, been zr for over an hour, hopefully plain rain soon, back roads horrificly icy.

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:03 pm

Just remember boys and girls and I think Dunzoo can verify this, sleet is counted as snow on your yearly totals.

27.7 here and still moderate to heavy sleet.

3.3 inches of combined snow and sleet so far.

by **snow247** Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:44 pm

Looks like rain here at 30*, doesn't seem icy at all.

Bye bye snowpack, it was very nice having you for well over a month.

by **Dunnzoo** Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:49 pm

Rain and 32° starting to melt everything. Went out to shovel just the sleet and it weighs a ton!

by **snow247** Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:57 pm

Can the precip shut off now? Thanks.

by **NjWeatherGuy** Tue Mar 03, 2015 10:09 pm

Storm colder than forecast here, still below freezing 31.

by **Frank_Wx** Tue Mar 03, 2015 10:18 pm

Wow roads are awful. Got home 20 min ago and everything is a sheet of ice. Should be better by the morning once the warm front makes it here

by **amugs** Tue Mar 03, 2015 10:28 pm

Cold air hanging tough 31.5* here sleet and zr still jesus if this was all snow I'd have 8" !!!

by keliza52 Tue Mar 03, 2015 10:38 pm

It took me three hours to get home from Morristown. Heavy sleet all the way to Hackettstown. Roads were horrible until I got to H'town because by then temp went up to 30 degrees and sleet was much lighter. Hope the roads are better in the morning.

Might have put this on the wrong thread

On and off light rain here on NS of LI 36 degrees. Hoping it doesn't get much warmer so changeover happens earlier. 2 things to look for IMO

1. The radar over Tennessee and Kentucky looks really good and looks to be heading this way.

2. This cold front is really strong. We will be achieving record low temperatures Thursday night. Is the arctic air too strong and therefore forces the precip. south??

I'll take the 4 to 8" forecast right now and run. Thinking more along the lines of 4 to 6" here for me. Neutral Neutral
