Archived: 2/13/14 Godzilla Storm

Currently in West Orange,NJ. Flakes have gotten significantly bigger in past 5 minutes or so. Falling fast, all different directions.

Sleet here in eatontown jersey shore

It's like snowballs falling out of the sky on the North Shore

i might get thunder snow in 15 min.. oh boy

I drove the third of the way to work call my bosses turned around and I'm going home

It really is north shore getting hit hard and is anyone else on the north shore getting good wind gusts?

I left my house in West Islip at 6:30 barely an inch on the ground, drove to Ronkonkama and on my way home, the snow was coming down so hard I could not see the car in front of me, when I got back home at 7:45, there was 4 inches on the ground.

This is going to be a tough plow storm down here. Snow to ice back to snow to rain and back to snow tonight. Good luck getting the roads clear.

Light snow here still, heavy bands refuse to move in.

Just put a for sale sign in my front yard.

When is the rain/snow line supposed to get to NYC?

Hoping that doesn't happen here.I'm still tired from the last storm that went to sleet,FR.

Heavy snow will be up your way in 1 hour. It's still early for you

Biggest flakes I've ever seen. Piling up at about 4" per hour

The for sale sign will come down if that happens, otherwise I'm outta here. Happy for everyone else but this winter other than the last storm I feel like the kid on valentines day that gets no cards during class.

Heavy stuff should be here shortly.NWS said about 8 AM for interior North Jersey.Looks like they will be right.I hope.

Doc:

I'm starting to think that snow barrier was erected again. I thought they removed that before the last storm.

Light snow and not a happy camper right now. 16 degrees what a waste of cold air.

Don't feel bad Cp I'm in the same boat right now.   

Flakes are smaller in size but volume is still intense, wind gusts increasing in frequency, no sign of changeover.

heavy snow now huge flakes still at 28* winds are gusty now. glad I did not go to work this morning. maybe i'll go in after lunch.

Mets Same here To bad its going to change over Maybe we got 2hrs at most

With people reporting rain and sleet south and east of us, this storm will be a perfect HV storm.

Thinking my GF in Monroe will get 18 inches.Glad she is working at home and not having to drive today.
