Check in with your snow stories/reports
I'm in southern Passaic County. The snow started around 2. Now it's a few inches and it's blowing sideways. I have on-the-street parking. Even if I dig my car out, no guarantee that I'll have somewhere to park when I return from work Monday night. My town shovels the streets selectively, only the sides on designated days of the week. My side is Tuesday.

1. Started at 1:15PM around Newark
Ran my errands this morning, this course. And I had to call the super about sending up some heat, of course. At around noon, the cloud cover was thin enough for the sun to brighten things up a little. That was my signal it was going to be a mess. In Florida it would be called a hurricane sky.

2. It started around 2:15
here in Vernon, Sussex County. So far, I'd say we've gotten maybe 3 inches. I'll be sweeping off the deck again in a few minutes to let the dogs out and I'm happy this snow is powdery and light. The last couple of snows we've had were heavy as hell to shovel.

I was dumb enough to hit the grocery store around 11 this morning and it was a madhouse!

4. Sunday 8 a.m.
Either a pause or it's stopped.

I can't believe it. Looks like less than 6 inches by Paterson.

5. I'm in Monmouth County

6. It's all gone now, but it was fun while it lasted
We had around 18" total, by my estimate, throughout the day on Saturday, the plows went through our street once after the snow stopped, leaving a single lane and three foot high ice walls for us to shovel through on Sunday. Fortunately, even though it was a heavier snow, we have a snow thrower which we made sure was all ready to go - we did our driveway, and our neighbors on either side.

There was still ice on all of our local roads until the rain and warmer temps hit on Christmas day.
