Nikolai Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 No map, but my call: NYC stays almost all frozen (or stays all frozen) for the event. 3-6" of snow followed by significant accumulations of sleet and freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Lightning Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think that I-95 will be a good cutoff: East will see rain, west will have some mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 for the 3-6" range, generally expect totals to be on the low end, but we'll see Wednesday is still tricky. I was telling some others that 84 is probably a good cutoff. mostly snow/ice north of there. as you go south, ice storm possible, but there might be a change to plain rain. along and southeast of 95, mix goes to rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noreaster07 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 What the heck its been a while. Solid green line represents where rain line will ultimatley make it, snow in the ice areas will generally run 1-3" from south to North in these zones. The more sleet zone is an extension of the severe icing zone but the warm layer here could be thinner allowing for more sleet and frz rn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 First call -- final tomorrow. Zone A: Mostly or all snow 6-12"+...areas closest to zone B will see some mixing Zone B: 3-6" snow changing to sleet/ZR -- 0.25-0.50 ice Zone B!: Biggest threat of severe ice -- 0.50+ ice Zone C: 2-5" snow to sleet/ZR to plain rain -- 0.10-0.20 ice Zone D: 1-3" snow to sleet/ZR to plain rain -- 0.01-0.10 ice Zone E: <1" snow to maybe some sleet/ZR, but mostly rain -- T ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCT777 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Why not... North of the red area, I would expect all precip to be frozen. Even the northern half of the red area likely doesn't see any plain rain. The purple area could see up to 0.25" of zr to go along with the snow and sleet. Fun stuff!

Thunder Road Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thunder, can you post the blank map you use? I like the darker county/state borders from the one I use. Believe it or not, I actually made that map, using the freehand draw tool in Microsoft Publisher, so that I can highlite any county without using MS Paint. Anyway, here's the blank map, pasted into Paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think I'm going to break up my snow and ice maps as well. Stand by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ice/rain zones... Zone A: T-0.10 ice as event remains mostly or all snow Zone B: 0.10-0.25 ice, sleet will be more prevalent Zone C: 0.25-0.50 ice Zone C!: Best chance of severe (0.50+) ice --RAIN LINE IS THE BORDER OF ZONES C AND D. ANYONE NORTH OF ZONE D WILL NOT SEE PLAIN RAIN-- Zone D: 0.10-0.25 ice, turning to plain rain Zone E: T-0.10 ice, turning to plain rain...most areas probably won't see 0.05 ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I might be downplaying the snow potential for Wednesday, especially across northern portions of the map: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 bump for ice map i went conservative with my purple zone thinking sleet would mix in, but kept the " + " in case it didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I was thinking the same thing Jim, but this isn't a model thread so it's possible that the mods may grant a bit more leeway with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherman-iac Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Pro Forecaster, can you explain "Storm Mode"? Do you mean that there is a storm occurring now? I'm still not sure why I can't comment here. I have the distinct feeling that I'm not being made to feel welcome. I am really interested in weather and I think I really have a knack for predicting it. I have been doing so since I was a kid. I spend a lot of time watching the Weather Channel and learning from their mistakes so that I can hone my skills as meterologist. Also, what is the differentiating factor between posting replies related to maps here and posting in the "banter" thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
