famartin Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The band between Lancaster and PHL might have a decent shot at making the trip up here, and I am impressed with the backbuilding signature over the Atlantic, especially south of LI, where the echoes are rapidly filling in. Overall, the first part of this storm may be a pleasant surprise to those following it, and a headache for those who have to commute during it. I'm supposed to be subbing at a local school at 11:30 so we'll see what the weather does around here and if they decide to call things off. Yeah, a half inch of snow messes everything up in NYC so I guess it could be a big pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiburon Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The radar returns in S NJ look to mean business, and could affect NYC metro in a few hours. I don't think models anticipated the extent of the overrunning precipitation and its ability to advance northward. This could be a surprise for some during the morning commute. Is anyone else a bit pleased with the radar? Not in the least. The rain/snow line is running from ACY just north of MIV west to north of BWI and screaming northward with the WAA. Anything that falls at least around here gets washed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is that first wave that we all expected. Its a tad more robust than yesterday's models depicted, but probably not too bad. Rain snow line is moving northward from near BWI to ACY right now... there could be a quick inch in the Del Valley before it gets there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptb127 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 even if it showed 1-3 inches of snow, id take that anyday. Last thursday everyone though this was going to be 1-3 inches of rain. So lets not get spoiled here, this is still a 4-8 inch snow event. lol we've been getting 1-3" snow events for each storm this winter. If you 'd take it, I'd be glad to switch with you for some of the storms you've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
