Southern New Jersey Heavy Snow

The winter storm continues at this hour for Southern New Jersey. Temperatures have really dropped since the snow began. There is no doubt that this storm is colder than what the models had projected as there has been no mixing even in the far southern counties. Burlington County is checking in at 25 degrees. Even Atlantic City is checking in at 27 degrees. So this now is appearing drier than what had expected at that is leading to some higher snow ratios. In addition, the accumulation is also appearing to be aided by the colder temperatures as even the paved surfaces are taking on snow.

The gradient is fairly sharp, with snow generally south of Interstate 195. I will be watching an area of snow around Allentown, Pennsylvania. This could give the Interstate 195 Corridor a period of snow which may drop a coating. The big band of course extends through Southern New Jersey. But within the band, there has been a prevalent band running right through Salem, Northern Cumberland, and Atlantic Counties.
