It seems once again the NWS has blown this forecast big time.  Although they still have a "heavy snow warning" in effect, it seems doubtful if the criteria for such a warning will actually occur. 

Here is the actual criteria for such a warning:
"Issued when snowfall totaling 6 inches or more in 12 hours or less is expected. Also issued when snowfall totaling 8 inches or more in 24 hours or less is expected."    What gives with these so called prof. mets?  First they upgrade the storm, and I expect in the next few hours, they will downgrade this and remove that warning.

Just a little heads up, the HSW is not in effect until 10pm.

YOU Are wrong:  Here is a copy of the NWS statement: 
...HEAVY SNOW WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 PM EST MONDAY... ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NO LONGER IN EFFECT... 


I guess we are BOTH correct.  The HSW I posted was for northeast Jersey.
