Snow Line Pushing Into Eastern NJ

For all the patient souls waiting for the snow, the line is almost to the coastline. There still will be some sleet and freezing rain in the eastern counties, but the line is pushing towards the coast. The freezing rain and sleet has made for extremely dangerous and treacherous travel. Now with the wet snow and colder air moving down to the surface, the ice and water will solidify well.

The snowfall rates of one to three inches will be very common. Some isolated four inch per hour pockets are likely. Thunderstorms have been reported tonight with rare thundersnow and thundersleet. What was even more interesting is that there was hail reported in eastern Ocean and Monmouth Counties from a strong thunderstorm… that even appeared to have some upper level rotation over water.
