cnn's chad myers live in ridgewood, new jersey. you told us when you were in new york it was one deal, you moved ten, 15 miles, a little elevation, look at you now. all you need is a carrot for a no nose. >> reporter: yeah. it's snowing heavily. we're in ridgewood, new jersey, farther to the west. it has been snowing all morning. unlike what we saw in downtown manhattan, that has been all snow. just like ft. lee last hour, this is just full of water. this is going to be tough to shovel when it starts to pile up on the concrete. so far it's not. the temperatures yesterday were around 40. therefore, the concrete is a little warm. when we get to 9:00 or 10:00, this is going to come down so hard that it's going to get on the roads. we are going to start to see slick roads, already seeing the snow trucks out, a lot of plows out, too. they're not doing much because nothing is sticking yet. this is just starting. don't wake up, look outside and say, oh, we've got mist. no, this is an all-day snow event. some spots may pick up two to three
