Winter Storm Warnings and Weather Advisories are in effect for the entire NYC metro area. A prolonged period of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain can expected into tomorrow afternoon. A total of 9.0 inches of snow has been reported so far in Malvere, PA, 7.9 inches in Trenton, 3.0 inches in Spotswood and 2.0 inches in Brooklyn. Gulf moisture is streaming up the East Coast into cold, dry Arctic high pressure. This will keep the precipitation mostly as snow today with some warming expected on Friday that will likely produce sleet, freezing rain and rain along the coast and over central and southern New Jersey. This is the third significant snowfall of February 2021. The long range outlook looks as if it will stay cold into the first week of March.
