Another snow storm. Far from a guarantee but definitely possible. What does look likely either is a blast of very cold air though.
I consider 7 inches and under snow once you double digits I'm calling it a storm. Today was as rough a shoveling day that I can remember over the last 2 years. I'll keep my ears open on the next, totally unprepared for this one sheesh
I totally call BS on that Millburn number. 12.5" Sshheeee-aaa-iiii-tttt [to quote a line from The Wire]
NJ.com didn't include the time stamps. The lower numbers were from earlier in the day.

Todays blighters show no respect for learning. Why, when I was a 'ute, I had to spend my evenings in my parents unheated attic, studying. My efforts were illuminated by one kerosene lantern. Electricity was not added to the house until 1960, the year I was graduated from high school.
--- and when I asked my mother if I could have another spoonful of gruel, I got a wooden spoon across my knuckles.
While I was stretching out this morning (very needed after a second round of shoveling yesterday--a lot of water content!) I was watching the weather forceast on Channel 2. I heard Elise Finch saying that there is a chance--a chance-- of 11+ inches of snow in NYC for Sunday and more to the North and West. She said the European model was the aggressive one, whereas the GFS was calling for a dusting at most.
I logged onto the NWS sites (Mt Holly and Upton) and it looks like both are somewhat downplaying the Euro model but taking a very cautious approach to Sunday. Quite a range in outcomes between the models. But I am nervously reminded that the Euro was more correct on this last storm.......
BTW, reports are that we got 30 inches or so here in Morristown. I measured 20 inches Monday night while it was still snowing, and another 6 inches yesterday where I had shoveled the night before, but by the time I got out to shovel around 4 PM it had melted down some so I can believe 30.

The Euro totally dropped serve on the Sunday system this morning, although the GFS ticked bit more towards us it is still a miss. FWIW, so far this winter the GFS (and especially the beta of the GFS16) has not been half bad for winter storms.
ETA Total for my backyard is now 21" adjusted for compression. This is an unofficial measurement because one is not supposed to adjust for compression. One is supposed to go out there at midnight when the heavy snow stops and measure, but this one no longer feels the need.
well, the 47 degree forecast for tomorrow went down to 40. Sunny on Saturday - wonder how much will melt. hmm When we see grass again? Some icing on Monday night is in the forecast,
I'm losing it. I lost my vaccine slot because of Tuesday's snow, got rescheduled for Sunday and then saw a prediction of snow, then it changed to sunny and today I saw it was back to snow. So will it be open and if so will I sliding all over South Orange Ave to get to Sears. Not fair!
I dont want to shovel anymore
Some icing on Monday night is in the forecast,
Very possible
