Storm throws a hard punch in Northern New Jersey!

Starting between 2 and 3 pm, the snow very quickly began falling at a heavy pace.  Roadways were quickly coated and hazardous and as is usual, it was hard to find a salt truck.  It struck just as rush hour was beginning.  Heavy snow and wind produced conditions reminiscent of past blizzards.  A quick one inch coating was put down before sleet began mixing in around 4 pm.  Temperatures hovered near 30 degrees, but were expected to rise after nightfall.

A 2-3" accumulation was common, up to 6" in NW Jersey.  A foot or more in Ski Country up North.
