Hope so

06z RGEM snow map. Looks like 1-3" of snow (3-5" N&W) before changeover to rain. My fear is a period of icing for portions of north-central and NW NJ and southern NY before changing to all rain. Please be careful. Timing appears to be 6-7am

this should be fun..lol, not sure what Mt Holly is doing maybe they're asleep between snow and ice you'd think at least advisory's would be out most especially with timing start.

Yea RJ but I hope for a colder solution for more snow. The ice is no fun!!

Winter weather advisory has been issued for NYC .from 6 am till 3 pm .2 inches of snow expected

WSW now up here 4 to 6 inches of "mixed precip".WWA's now further S and E of me.Looks like they buy into that Bernie videos of the cold air hanging tough.

Fresh dose of cold air came in this afternoon and it’s going to waste. What a shame

Jim, we are in a different zone with different criteria than Putnam county. In the NWS Albany forecast area the snow and ice amounts have to be higher to issue a WSW than in other zones, so even though they may have a WSW and we are in a WWA we may still have higher amounts. I hope that makes sense.

Yea Hyde we get our forecast from Albany but though it was just kind of amusing that they got the warning be it by another service. Going to need some ice skates not going to be fun tomorrow.

6 inches possible plus an eighth of an inch of ice.That's the latest from NWS.

Yea doc. Can you skate? not looking forward to that ice.

It is certainly going to be a mess tomorrow. 4-5 inches of snow plus .2 inches of ice is not good.

Hyde hope for more snow. The ice can stay away.
