7.7″ of snow in Stewartsville NJ

To say yesterday’s snowstorm was an over-producer is an understatement. When you melt all the snow and sleet and freezing rain it totaled 1.67″ in Stewartsville. As you may recall in an earlier post only 1-1.25″ was forecast. So if this was all snow, we would have been clobbered even more.

The cold air hung on much longer than anticipated. And the snowfall rates were 2″ per hour for a time yesterday afternoon! We don’t see snowfall rates that impressives until the middle of winter!

The roads are a mess and many schools are closed. Today’s high temperature is already above freezing and should get into the low 40’s. Hopefully some good melting will take place but remember the ground is already saturated from all the recent rains. We should see sunshine today but the winds will pick up as the storm pulls away.

Good news is the weather look quiet into Thanksgiving week but it will remain on the cool side.
