The Call: Periods of snow sleet and freezing rain with less than an .5” in total for all. Be careful tonight. Reports in CNJ are that freezing rain and sleet are falling.
Yes, it happened. My car was encrusted in ice last night at 10PM after dinner. Roads had some patches of ice nothing that was bad but CNJ had it worse.
Speaking of this storm is going to be historical as is the cold – ALL OF TEXAS IS UNDER A WINTER STORM WARNING!! EVEN THE GULF COAST – SAN PEDRO ISLAND AND GALVASTON!! Last time that happened according to the record books was………NEVERRRRR!!!

Lyncher Report:
Start: Some patches of light freezing drizzle tomorrow morning break out over NNJ around 9AM. Main bulk of the storm comes in around 6 -7PM. It will be mostly sleet at the start nd snow (mix) but A LOT of freezing drizzle and rain for about 8 hours maybe longer in the mountainous regions of Western Bergen County, Passaic, Morris, Sussex, Warren and Hunterdon Counties’ get pounded. Probably until about 8-9AM.
LHV Counties of Rockland, Northern Westchester, Orange get pounded as well.
Total Ice Accumulation (Accretion)
NNJ – .15” – .25”
NW NJ, Northern Rockland, Northern Westchester, Orange -.25” – .75 (highest terrain)”
Power Outages are likely in these regions!
Storm will transition over to rain Tuesday but not before the damage is done in these areas N & W of NYC.
Yesterday I said this: This is very fine line so far between an all-out ice storm for the NNJ, NYC Metro, EPA and LHV regions or a snow to ice to rain storm. So, I say to you folks play it cautious, get prepared and hope for the best. Be prepared and not scared my weenies

Thursday into Friday – Still on the table for this storm and we’ll see how things progress but it will most likely be a winter weather storm.
We will relax next weekend as currently modelled for about 7-10 days and we’ll go from there as we head into March. Will it be warm? White? Wet? The Polar Vortex is taking another hit and is weakening and the shortwaves are lengthening which allow things to get extreme during this transition month.
Temps have trended colder
Time will tell.
Mid point of the month and we are running about 4 degrees below normal here in NNJ. What will the 2nd half be like?? Normal? Abby Normal or Above Normal?
Enjoy your Lover Day and update to come.
