Sure is. 240 hrs on the 12z CMC and 252 hrs on the 12z GFS. Granted these are OP runs going out 10 days however the pattern is there.

There is a site (or used to be) that shows the expected GEFS mean snowfall total. Does anyone have a link for it?

It’s already here…

It’s about cloud cover and the wind speed. If the surface winds can decouple from the flow a few hundred feet up and go calm the bottom can drop out of the thermometer as shown. The cloud cover piece is self explanatory. I see similar events out here where on a cold morning lower spots (below 500 feet - approximately) can be colder than higher elevations due to being better able to decouple.

Tonight’s cold front has passed through here. I have light rain and the temperature is down to 51.

Every Friday night it seemed to snow. Don’t ever recall anything like that.

On the topic of snow it is snowing up in Mt. Pocono this evening with the trough swinging through. This is the second day in a row this has happened. This time it is actually accumulating on grassy areas.

I came across this photo of the tornado that hit the Shirley area.

A station that I follow on WU in Cherry Grove recorded 54 mph at 3:29 pm SE Light on Block Island just reported a wind gust to 54 mph.

NWS Upton has reported the following wind gusts this afternoon at the Mesonet sites shown below: East Moriches 3:55pm 79 mph Mecox Bay 4:20pm 71 mph

Rain has changed to wet snow up in the Poconos as seen on a traffic camera near Mt. Pocono.

I was the same age but was in the NYC area during the run up to this event. My source of information was the Accuweather Mets on WINS. They spoke of a strong LP system that would be diving out of Alberta and would serve to generate an intense storm along the mid Atlantic coast. This discussion started on the Friday and Saturday before the event (Monday). This scenario was what was being generated on the models of that time. There seemed to be little doubt in their minds. The Mets I am referring to are Dr. Joel Myers, Dr. Joel Sobel, and Elliott Abrams. The only other event that I can recall that was forecasted that far in advance with that level of certainty was the Superstorm of 1993.

Low level inversion seems to be in place out here in eastern PA and NW NJ this morning. Low elevation locations are currently in the low to mid 30s while most other places are well into the 40s. This is resulting in 10 to 15 degree temperature differences across short distances.

Winds along the shore in most places never went down to calm to allow for radiational cooling. I have a station on Fire Island which never had winds go below 3-4mph and that resulted in temperatures staying in the 40s all night. Interestingly when I looked at WU there were stations almost within walking distance of the Great South Bay that did go calm and drop off to freezing.

Bottomed out at 26 out here.

My lettuce and parsley are still going strong. Everything else has been frosted out over the past two nights. I had some impatiens in pots that I had placed next to my foundation in order to see if I could keep them going. Last night’s frost got them. I have found that 24 degrees is the cutoff for what parsley will survive down to. I any case my lettuce and parsley are in flats that I can bring in if it gets that cold.

You would probably see the lights from your place in the Poconos.

Low here is 27 this morning. Temps down to between 20 and 25 up near your place.

32.

28 out here.

32 out here. Growing season is done.

How about the 68 mph out at Fire Island Pines?

Recent gust to 68 mph at Fire Island Pines.

Block Island has two stations on WU currently reporting wind gusts to 69 mph. The highest gusts there have been to 77 mph. These are the stations at the Water Tower and at Southeast Light.
