The storm
today worked out pretty much as expected in Northwest New Jersey but probably
fell short in eastern sections, much as the short-range American model was
indicating. It seems that areas which ended
up about as expected were west of Rt. 206, north of Routes 78 and Rt. 24 and
about 5 miles inland from the Hudson River give or take. Snowfall totals would have been higher but
the snow was quite wet and compacted quite a bit, making snowfall look less
than it is, but when you go to shovel it you will notice that the water content
is quite high and it is back breaking snow.
The high
water content of the snow makes it very heavy and has caused a significant
number of power outages in Northern New Jersey.

There were
even reports of thundersnow today, which is rare and shows the intensity and
rapid intensification of the storm.
Anyway,
moving forward the steady snow will come to an end around 10-11 pm with the
light snow and snow showers ending by around 2-3 am tomorrow morning.
We will then
have a variably cloudy Thanksgiving Day with a slight chance of a snow shower
in the afternoon and evening. The high
will be in the mid 30’s.
Black Friday
will then be mostly sunny but quite cold in the morning with lows in the mid to
upper teens and highs in the low 30’s.
Saturday
there will be a chance of some light snow from the late morning into the early
afternoon. It will be quite cold with a
low in the mid to upper teens and highs in the low to mid 30’s.
Sunday will
be variably cloudy and warmer with highs in the mid 40’s.
Monday night
into Tuesday morning we will have a chance of light rain or light snow with
highs on Monday in the upper 40’s.
Tuesday
night into Wednesday morning we will have another chance of some light rain or
light snow with highs in the mid to upper 30’s on Tuesday and the mid to upper
40’s on Wednesday.
Thursday and
Friday we will have a chance of rain or snow with highs in the low to mid 40’s.
Next
Saturday through Monday should be mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 40’s.
Next Tuesday
we will have a chance of rain or snow with highs in the upper 30’s to low 40’s.
Lots of
unsettled weather ahead so be sure to check back for updates as things become a
bit more clear.
Have a
wonderful evening!
