WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FOR ALL COUNTIES UNTIL 6AM SUNDAY.
WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR ATLANTIC AND CAPE MAY COUNTIES UNTIL 7AM SUNDAY.
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON.
We got some bonus snow last night with the storm coming earlier than expected. Snow amounts are already higher than expected higher than predicted. There are 5" amounts in Atlantic County, 7.3" in Bridgeton, and 4" amounts in Gloucester County. Roads will be bad all through the day as plows will have a tough time catching up to the fast falling snow. But, if you think this morning was bad, it will be worse this evening when the heavy snow is expected. Precip is developing off the VA/MD coast. The dry area will fill in and those bands will become heavy. They will move up to our area this evening and provide our heavy snow with possible amounts of 1-3" per hour. I have raised amounts with 8-16" at the immediate shore and with 16-20" with isolated 2 feet amounts elsewhere. Winds this evening will be .gif)
sustained 20-30mph with higher gusts. It will cause blowing and drifting snow. I do not recommend traveling today. If so, bring a blanket, food, water, and everything for a survival kit. We will have more blog updates later along with 24/7 Twitter updates at www.twitter.com/sjwcmain. Also, go to our homepage for links to maps, cams, snow totals, and to post your own snow totals and pictures. You can also post your conditions and totals in the comment section of this blog.
