tombo82685 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 There are 2 weatherbug stations within a mile of me. One of them is very accurate but one consistently runs a degree or two too cold. Surprisingly, they both agree on a temp of 21.5 right now. it must be the station by me.. dvp2 is at 29.4, the weatherbug station .9 miles away is at 26 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noreaster07 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I experienced "diamond dust" once in my life in Anchorage @ -22F. You're not seeing diamond dust. I know that, but the only phenomena I can find to describe it are these events that occur in ubsurd cold, maybe its just a weird type of freezing fog.

A-L-E-X Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Some light freezing rain here now. Cars already have a good coating on them. Temp is 26.2 at the moment. CAD doing its work-- my temp is almost the same as yours! 26.3 here on a NE wind and still dropping. This really reminds me of Jan 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96blizz Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Watching the coastal points. Seeing that northerly wind component versus east. Some coastal temps at this hour with dewpoints - Atlantic CIty: 30 - Cape May Couthouse: 36 Winds are undoubtedly shifting from what was SE to E and is now NNE or NE at times. With 3 or so hours until things start to hit, this could be important for areas on the 'borderline'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delgto04 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Lost power once already here in Northern DE but I live in a heavily wooded neighborhood and lose power all the time so who knows. Temp I think is slightly under 32 and has been for a while. All the ice we had this a.m. melted during the day but has now refrozen again. I am doubtful it will get cold enough here to really get heavy icing if the rain comes hard enough. I will be thankful for that hopefully. Good luck to everybody north of Reading in PA because it just sounds like its going to get nasty up there. Strange that everyone else's temp is dropping and we seem to be holding steady at around 33 degrees. Still time for temps to drop but I am beginning to believe this will be a non-event south of ILG.

96blizz Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 22.5f Hard to believe that Belmar is at 26. Wow. I grew up in coastal Monmouth and it was rare that we were colder than Eastern PA at any time. The only time was when there was a weak coastal. Oh yeah... Winds are starting to get close to NE.

johnc Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Watching the coastal points. Seeing that northerly wind component versus east. Some coastal temps at this hour with dewpoints - Atlantic CIty: 30 - Cape May Couthouse: 36 Cape May County might be one of the few places in NJ that doesn't have a snowpack. When I left AC on Sunday there was some patchy snowcover there but just a few miles inland and there was plenty of white. I wonder if that would have any effect for western locations when the wind shifts east. Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think this is a great point and ask Pro Mets to chime in...please! Does the glaze from round 1 decrease the amount of latent heat released from initial heavy precip tonite, therefore increasing totals?? There is already a nice glaze/heavy rime from about Skippack, N and W. Just slipped to 24 now in NW Montco, winds NNE at 3-5, barometer steady. No. Latent heat release is solely a function of the fresh precipitation freezing. Existing ice will have no effect on whether there is more or less. However, the existing ice may absorb some of the heat released, thereby minimizing its effect a small amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPPG Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 If the wind Stays N-NE that is a big sign that temps. are not going to rise very much. Will it hold? That's the big ? In past hr, NW montco wind moved to ENE from NNE, with some E mixed in Barometer heading down .002" Could be a bottom temp of 24 and now the slow rise. If precip gets here first, greater chance for ZR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could explain why Exeter, etc. are warmer since they are east of or on the mtn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
