ace0927 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We had 3 inches on the ground, so 6-3 = 3 inches storm total so far. i think i read at 1051AM JFK reported 2.3"...we probably had about an inch since then. I would LOVE to get up to 5" before the main event comes in later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Snow seems to picking back up in Manhattan- Big flakes falling, and its pretty dark out there. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thank you!!!! i hope everyone is sitting before you read this. I dont think there has been a better winter than this in my lifetime. 1995-1996 was GREAT, but there were periods of torrential rain, warmth etc. Snow melted quickly that year. 1993-1994 was GREAt as well, but there was way too much sleet and ZR as well as bone chilling cold. This winter has, to date, had the perfect combo. If February is anything like the last 6 weeks we are in for a treat....for all of us jet fans-CANT WAIT! You were also on the Xmas day after blizzard from about a week out (as the Dec 19, 2010 storm was busting as a matter of fact.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Humidity Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sleet LR mixes when the intencity drops off, the back to snow whne heaver here in Skillman Somerset Co. Interesting to see BLM at 32F while most NWS stations around it are 33 34. Eyeballing about 4.5 5 " Somerset, Wife Eyeballs 4 in Freehold. Does anyone have current Ob's in Monmouth County?

CooL Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It feels like what we're getting right now is priming the atmosphere for later. It's wonderful having just experienced heavy snow this morning and still having continuous light snow all day and then expecting heavy snow again tonight! Its an awesome feeling.. With all the snowcover we had before this it looks like 15" is on the ground.. Im expecting a wild night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 and better than the sleet and/or rain others are getting I still cant figure out how we've managed to hold onto the snow while the north shore and manhattan has gone over to sleet and freezing rain. Says who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonli18t Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 this snow has stuck to trees like glue...if winds were just a little stronger tonight this would have power outage potential. But winds appear to be just calm enough to prevent any widespread outages...but it should be plenty to get some good drifting going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Why is everyone obsessing over precip type right now? this is the lull before the main event, clearly when the precip lightens up you are going to get something other than snow mixed in but its not holding down accumulations so really isn't important. Midtown looks to be all snow right now with big flakes melting on contact Says who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see how unless the mesoscale banding just completely misses us, and the dryslot looks to stay south of here. Even if we get 5 or 6" more while others get 8 or 9, who cares-awesome storm we have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But winds appear to be just calm enough to prevent any widespread outages...but it should be plenty to get some good drifting going on. Power outages are a concern of mine as well, and as the low begins to bomb out our winds will pick up. The snow should stay the heavy, wet variety as well since we're supposed to stay around 30-32.

jm1220 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looking at the State College radar: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=CCX&product=N0R&overlay=11111111&loop=yes the snow looks like it'll swipe I-80 south good over the next few hours. I don't even think the wet NMM got the heavy snow that far north. Down the pike towards us it's a great sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm referring to the arguing and questioning people's observations. If this was the heart of the storm and everyone was getting sleet instead of snow it would be a different story. Most everyone on this board is obsessed with snow.

The snow should stay the heavy, wet variety as well since we're supposed to stay around 30-32. Gusty winds would knock a lot of snow out of the trees. Low growing stuff...hedges, etc. you'f propbably have to take care of manually, but the wind will do the rest. I'm neglecting most of my shrubs...they've been bent and encased since December. Its time for a new look anyway come spring. Most of the stuf I care about is ok...or I haven't seen it above the snow for quite a while...it should be ok for the buried stuff. FYI, we are getting some of the heaviest snowfall of the day here as I prepare to hit the add reply button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdt Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 17z RUC at 12 hrs That brings a tear to my eye! NW NJ actually under the heaviest at that time. Now let me hope it is not to far N&W this far out. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listarz Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have a solid 3" of snow and the precip went from snow to sleet to rain(briefly) back to snow. A Mix occurring at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
