March 2nd Nor'easter Update

coldest it's been all day 35.8 now with light rain, temp has been suddenly steadily dropping. Precip now moving in again from the NE

Yeah she took a hard hit in the drivers door but her subaru held up thank god.

I can't even describe how bad it is here. I've lived in hopatcong for 4+ years and this is easily the worst storm I've seen.

Can anyone provide a brief update on the way things are progressing with the system? Can I expect this to continue in Sussex county for the foreseeable future? I'm sorry but between dealing with the police and driving I feel like I'm out of the loop. Is it this bad other places?

I made it home from West Caldwell. It is blizzarding in Hopatcong. Have to have over a foot by now but impossible to tell.

My girlfriend was t-boned by an out of control plow truck. On my way to get her I slid into a pole. So we now have two damaged vehicles but we are both okay.

DO NOT DRIVE IN SUSSEX COUNTY.

Why no pics from all you folks getting bombed on? Glad everyone is ok in the accident

I can try in a bit but it's literally white-out here. My windows are caked with snow and a picture would just show a blurry grey mess. Plus I'm now dealing with insurance claims so a bit preoccupied!

I will try to snap something and post it here.

Power outages for JCP&L customers in NJ by county:

Sussex 20%
Warren 17.3%
Hunterdon 10.56%
Morris 7.4%
Union 2.64%

All other counties less than 1%

Overall 42,806 affected customers at present. And climbing.

So caught up in the storm he needs to use a random word generator to post.

The moisture feed coming westward off of the ocean into eastern Massachusetts looks incredible. Relentless heavy precip.

No idea if this will work. First two pictures are of my front lawn and last is whats happening to my backdoor screen right now.

we dropped a degree to 35 and I now see some snow mixing in with rain..wind picked up..but nothing like they have been saying..is the wind still to come??

Thanks Dayblazer for taking the pics. I'm jealous.

LOL, you LI boys had yours with that 16 inches snowstorm where we got 4 or 5.This is OUR turn,LOL!!!

Ripping heavy snow, winds picking up, near whiteout conditions.

No doubt Doc, happy you are finally cashing in. Enjoy it my friend.

I just had a tree fall 500 feet from me uprooted on wires omg I think pooped myself way dangerous. Look sattelite she has an eye!!

I think you are going to get snow Greybeard when this moves east and when you do it's going to RIP!.From looking at this radar, it appears the precip shield moved south and west,LOL.I guess they were not kidding about that retrograde movement.

34* with snow and a little sleet mixed in, about 5 inches OTG. I would like to know the reason for that area of rain just to my west and NW. I spoke to someone who lives in Kingston in Ulster county and they said they have no snow, just rain and wind and they have no power. Any answers to why that area of rain has been so persistent? Anybody?

Getting shafted here in Fishkill. Downslope is real :'( no real wind to speak of. Nothing but flurries for the last two hours. Glad to hear everybody is on, though!!!! My parents are over a foot with visibility remaining below 100 yards WITH LITTLE WIND back home in Pa......lucky bastards. As usual, the best eludes me lol

White Plains, winds are unrelenting...howling wind. Snow is whipping sideways. 61 mph here. If we had any cold air with this storm it would have been absolutely ridiculous conditions.

Just getting a little tease here, Doc. Here's a pic from around 11:00 AM

After all the time and effort you put into this storm, that's just not fair. Me thinks a visit back home is in order.
