❄️ UPDATE: While much of the region is still waiting for the first real flakes to stick, the signature of this monster nor’easter is already being spotted along the coast.

Huge, silver-dollar-sized snowflakes have been reported falling along the Ocean City, New Jersey Boardwalk, signaling a rapid transition as cold air begins to wrap into the strengthening bomb cyclone.

Though the ground is still relatively warm from recent mild temperatures, these massive flakes are a precursor to the intense snow rates expected tonight.
