nzucker Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Slushy flakes starting to mix into the rain here in Westchester. Just noticed in the streetlight that it's not all liquid anymore. 36.1/34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm surprised that no one is posting on this topic. radar looks healthy across VA and NC, including areas where the 18z NAM had no precip. also some (virga?) popping up over SE PA. 23z RUC looks to have a decent shield of steady precip affecting the tri-state area for several hours, but won't know until 00z graphics come out about just how heavy it is... It was in fact mentioned just a few posts above yours. Very nice graphic though. Looks like accumulating snow (mostly light) should continue for a while in the higher elevations.

jconsor Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 The NAM has had several busts like this in the under 24 hour timeframe. 6z actual radar: 6z NAM simulated radar (from 12z Monday run): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 The NAM has had several busts like this in the under 24 hour timeframe. The storm seems as if it followed the common NW trend this season, but the airmass just wasn't cold enough down here to support snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Anybody up for some cold? ARW temps valid at 4:00pm today (Tuesday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Anybody up for some cold? ARW temps valid at 4:00pm today (Tuesday) Thank god...stop the bleeding. Snowpack has been taking it on the chin lately, high was 44.7F today, brutal. It's hard to reconcile such an epic stretch of cold, snowy, and icy weather with the reality that we live on the coastal plain and average 35" per year. These meltdowns happen here, snow is the exception, not the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Im down to a 2" snow pack lol. Wow, that's crazy. Even in wooded areas along the South Shore or just the town? Still 10" on my lawn with 12-18" depths in the wooded nature preserve, but they do get up to 400' in a dense forest of maple and beech, strewn with cedar and pine. There are some bare south facing areas along streets in Westchester, however...huge contrast in depths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driveways and roads have also been clear since then. As far as the grassy areas are concerned, I cant see any of it yet, (Ace can though) but that's the only place there's any snowcover left besides the snowpiles on the side of the roads. There's probably 3-4 inches in the sheltered grassy areas and like 1 inch on the grassy areas that face the sun. I took 2" as my average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I measured an 11" snowpack here in New Brunswick that was still 13"-14" just a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Where I live, snowpack is still 20"+. (Was close to 30" after the ice storm). Haven't seen grass anywhere close to where I live since December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtRosen Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Where I live, snowpack is still 20"+. (Was close to 30" after the ice storm). Haven't seen grass anywhere close to where I live since December. Same here, though I think I'm down to about a foot of snowpack. What's really bad is the ice on my driveway I can't seem to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, for some reason it always melts here quickly. Im going to Jersey over the weekend, I expect it will feel like being in the Alps lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hey what's going on in that blob over SE Westchester? I'm right on the Putnam/Westchester line and a little while ago it got dark, the wind came up and it started snowing again but it looks like I'm just on the northern fringe. Radar looks good around HPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 It snowed here for about five minutes in Ramsey and now its just cloudy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
