Thanks so much appreciate it, wish there was one for Lancaster.

Thanks

another option would be to go to the accumulated precip map http://coolwx.com/cgi-bin/getptype.cgi?region=ne&model=nam&run=18&fhr=29&field=acctype

pick model and run on the left and what evere hour you want it to to below image, GFS goes out to 120 NAM 84 hrs

1994

I'l never forget those storms.... houses on our street are built into a gently sloping hill... woke up one night to a car alarm ... then another,

and another... parked cars had slid from the driveways into the middle of the street and were lumped together. Never seen anything like it...

the most interesting thing about the 1994 ice storms were the ice ruts on the roads. the ice was several inches deeps cause it was too cold to be melted so cars created the ice rut tracks you drove in and the roads were like that for several days.

this only happened cause we had freezing rain with temperatures in the mid teens to low 20's, this wont be anything like that

Based on Plymouth soundings for New Brunswick, NJ, temperatures actually drop from 00Z Wednesday through 06Z Wednesday. Still well below freezing by 09Z Wednesday.Just below the freezing mark and rising by 12Z Wednesday.

Hey thanks! :whistle:

I think we'll see 1-3" of snow and then probably around 1/3" of ice. I have been posting in the NYC that I don't see what people are seeing on the 00Z NAM. Our area is getting freezing rain all overnight and goes above freezing around 7 or 8AM tomorrow morning (again, according to the NAM). Between 00Z and 12Z Wednesady, 0.25-0.5" falls. BUFKIT will see this better. Not as bad as parts N&W of here but I still think we're in for a doozy of a commute Wednesday morning. We only have 0.25" a few weeks ago and that was bad enough...
