Just rented a hot air balloon to take me to 3,000 feet above my house today so I can actually see snow fall. Anyone in Orange County is invited, I take off at noon.

16.8 wind swept anti-virga now.

Reporting the first flakes in New Providence, Union County. Seems like we got a later start than others.

Armando Salvadore wrote:AWESOME example of jet dynamics! Storm is currently is SE of South Carolina, however, the right rear entrance of the jet streak is causing for an enhancement to the precipitation shield because of the divergence sector. By the way, reporting snow flakes here in NE NJ with a DP of 7. Temp is at 23 degrees.

This jet is the only reason why I like this storm. It's pretty.

Pack some lunch and where your best winter clothing. Chill up there until the storm is over. That's a great idea.
