TheTrials Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Our first full day snow storm in a while well, it did snow yesterday for many, and there was the norlun, but first day noreaster, yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnice Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Like the 12/03 event this will cause a disaster rush hour this evening, people probably drove in anticipating it wouldn't snow til later as opposed to taking public transport as they would if they anticipated this. According to the NAM, it doesn't really start snowing heavy until about 12 hours from now actually, but central NJ south of Trenton may have an issue. Verbatim, NYC looks ok until about 9 PM, when all hell breaks loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euripides Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Question, If 2" or 3" fall now and then it stops until the main event later this evening. During that time most of what fall now melts due to the temps and sun magic through the clouds. Will that 2" or 3" be added into whaterver falls tonight for the complete total of the storm? I am pretty sure it is yes but want to make sure. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwinter23 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 By the way, i do anticipate a lull for us sometime this afternoon that would consist of some light ip/ freezing drizzle perhaps until the deform comes in.

isnice Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Tonight? Its snowing very hard right now. I know, this is in reference to the timeframe of tonight's punch. Look at the radar...this should be over within a few hours. The best stuff is still 12 hours away. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/northeast_loop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass28 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 so we have a true twp part storm now,if we get 3-6" off this then our big one tonight could be a area wide 12-20". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersGrasp Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I think new York may receivethe high end of the 5-8 I was thjnking. Another couple hours of snow now before the lull til this evening. I think we even mix during the lull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WintersGrasp Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Western parts of union county have been getting hammered as the band has not moved much there or progressed north with the same intensity. But now NE nj and NY metro will get socked with 2" or so in the next 1 hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbatim, NYC looks ok until about 9 PM, when all hell breaks loose. Considering the NAM has no precipitation on top of us now, it is hard to imagine it has the timing down at this point. I want to see the other 12z models first. What's first the GFS? RGEM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The December 2003 storm was really nice. Got 6 inches from the first batch and 8 inches from the 2nd one. No, the backend underperformed for us lol. We got like 9 inches from the first batch and 5 with the second one. The best dynamics focused further to the east and that's why Farmingdale ended up with 20 inches although they had less than us with the first part.
