Lulled to sleep by the sound of a rare thundersnowstorm, Princeton residents woke up to the task of digging themselves out from 10.5 inches of snow.

On top of the previous three snowstorms, that makes this month the snowiest January in more than half a century.

And brace yourselves, there's more in the near-term forecast, according to the National Weather Service.

Perhaps we are fated not to see the ground until the spring thaw.  Or so it seemed this morning, when we woke to a snowfall that came earlier than predicted.  This radar snapshot at 2:30pm shows one storm leaving and another one coming.

Princeton declared a snow emergency at 10am this morning.  More coming this evening.  Keep track of the forecast on the National Weather Service site.

At 4:50pm Sunday, the satellite radar shows Princeton right at the center of Sunday's winter storm system.
