Last night, Kathy Orr from CBS 3 and I were talking about the possibilities of what may happen with this winter storm. She was concerned that this storm would not behave as the models projected and she could not be more correct. Heavy snow developed this morning and has left an accumulation everywhere, even in Southern New Jersey. A wintry mix is lifting up slowly through Southeastern New Jersey and is trying to push up to Philadelphia. The snow is also a wet snow which is causing accumulations on trees and power lines. At the very moment, the precipitation could shut off before that snow line makes as it that far north.
Roadways are totally snow covered in many spots around Central and Southern New Jersey. Along the mixing line, there is some evidence of icing and sleet accretion. The morning commute is a mess as this is more than a nuisance event. This is what we would call an over performing system because of the much more intense precipitation areas than what the models and forecasts called for.
Areas that remain snow could see several inches this morning before a lull when part two starts. Some areas that may eventually switch to a wintry mix still will see several inches. Areas that see a wintry mix still may see quite a bit of sleet and freezing rain. Rain and some sleet will fall in Southeastern New Jersey and along the coastline.
Round two will be a subject for later this morning.
