That image is so depressing in so many ways. It's a common sight: snow on the northwest side of a line that is on an approximately 45 degree angle and stretches from Baltimore to NYC, following the Delaware River until it hits Mercer County. Of course my area gets the short end of the stick with this setup.

I still find it amazing how it can snow heavily at like 36F and 37F up there. Down here, even when it is closer to freezing, the precip will be all rain. Heck, I'd say freezing rain is much more common down here than snow is.

It was around 33F here last I checked. It can snow if it's above freezing, but it requires low enough relative humidity.

Not ways. I've seen it snow with a slightly positive dew point.. It needs to be consistently heavy and I mean heavy. Otherwise its back to rain.

Its really useless like that though because its just mushy that makes it wet.

And below freezing temps at least above 2500 feet. Yeah, that "angle" of rain/snow line is classic and irriating.

After 0.45" of rain 7-11am. 0.10" of potpourri 11-12:30..we finally have stickage here. Temp 41F to 34° last couple hours..

Those little ice cubes above finally cooling the atmosphere down enough.

That coating you have is just about what we have as well. But it fell more than an hour ago. Some light flurries mixing in, but not heavy enough for any additional accumulation at this time.

The forecast still calls for 1 inch. I hope to see it.

Here in Moncton we're suppose to get 30cm (12 inches) of snow or maybe even more, while Halifax and Boston are just suppose to get heavy rain.

Why why why why why do we have to get all the snow here.

Looks like I'll be shovelling tomorrow.:rolle yes:

Can you send some of that snow here, please?

How I wish I could. Unfortunately I don't have a Zeus like power.

You must love snow. I on the other hand despise of it, but off course we get way too much snow here.

My Flight to Philly has been delayed by 2 hours. How is the condition on 295 north from exit 26 to 56 ?

Rain Snow line in NJ. Odd, Newark already changed over and dipped below freezing:

So, will the snow stick around for 24+ hours. I very excited ?
