WINTER STORM WATCH

[Anonymous]

I just went on nws.noaa.gov and my area has a winter storm watch. It looks like we have a good chance of seeing up to 6 inches of snow, or more.

5 or 6 inches sounds about right, but I would not be surprised if parts of central and southern NJ got as much as 8.

i agree, it does look like the coastal areas will see the most. In my area i am expecting 6-8, I think that is a reasonable total forecast

[RuggieWeather]

5" to 8" here in South Jersey with up tp 10" in a few spots towards the coast.

That's my call

[Snow Plow]

WSWatchs in the southern section of NJ as that is the criteria for the region. North of that I think the 3-5 call would bring WWA's.

The past few storms the NWS Mt Holly has played very conservative and often has upgraded warning/advisories mid storm.

BTW the initial rain and wind has become snow and wind. Winter has returned with another punch.

Looks as if this is truly New Jersey's kind of winter!!! Didn't Holmdel get clocked with about 15 inches in December?

Maaan, I wish I lived up there!!!! You guys are gettin' one great snow after another!!!!

Like I said, this winter belongs to New Jersey!!!!!!!!

not for southern NJ, only have 3" to date towards the coast. should be adding to that tomorrow night however

Thats interesting. only 4" for wsw down there, where up here closer to NY area, we need 6" or more to get the watch. Wiht the ETA still riding north, I think theres every bit as much chance of NYC getting in on the action.

[Anonymous]

i think that NYC will see snow, but location such as the NJ shore and the eastern shore of Long Island will see the most most likely in excess of 6 inches.
