nzucker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Snowing pretty heavy now up to a 1/4 of an inch. It's awesome no matter what we get. It's just great to see some snow. I hope this is not the last one. Enjoy! I'm sure we'll get more snow...winter never ends in Westchester on February 20th. I wouldn't be surprised if we have one more big storm and a couple more minor events to enjoy, but I'm still treating this one as if it were the last since the next few systems look to cut towards the Great Lakes. Yeah, regardless of the subforums it has been very quiet in here lately. I think everybody is just tired--we had a 30 day period where we were literally tracking storms hardcore every single day. I think we had a few days of boring after Dec 26 but it wasn't long. The Jan 10 storm was on the map within a few days. December 26th-February 2nd was an intense period of tracking for sure...Boxing Day Blizzard, 1/8 Norlun, 1/12 snowstorm, SW flow on 1/18, weak coastal right afterwards, major snowstorm on 1/27, ice storm on 2/2. That was one of the most wintry periods I've ever seen in NYC metro, we literally had four weeks with over a foot on the ground and like 10 days with two feet on the ground; it seemed as if we had temporarily moved to Northern New England with all the storms and the big arctic outbreak. Having said that, winter only lasts for a few months and I don't follow the severe weather very carefully in summertime, so I always try to keep up with the tracking during the winter. I'm surprised there's not more people in here given that tomorrow is President's Day which means that most folks don't have to work. I'm thinking this could be a nice surprise for the area with widespread 4" amounts and some places getting 6-7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Snow has been coming down for an hour now, got grass and car tops covered-- good thing is, chances of a changeover or mixing are slim to none. Nice north wind gusty at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Enjoy it boys and girls because we have a mini reliving of 2/6/10 upcoming tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 So on 2/22/08 we had about 85 people on awaiting what we thought would be 2-5 inches....now awaiting 2-5 inches we have 24...shows you what a 60 inch snow winter will do... Wow, you remember how many people were in a thread 3 years ago..... that has to be the best feat of memory I've ever seen lol. I remember being here that night and I was just waiting to jump on board when the snow started coming down at a decent rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consolation is that isnt much of an event even for the places that get "hit." I got about 2" on 2/6/10 so if we get that again, it will be a nice addition to whats happening tonight.

earthlight Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Radar looks great...snow is falling moderately to heavily right now...short terms agree on 5-6"...all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Up here in ORH we have about a half inch so far with 1"/hour rates right now. Ripping, nice little 25 dbz jackpot over my back yard. I woke up as this band was coming through ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got about 2" on 2/6/10 so if we get that again, it will be a nice addition to whats happening tonight. Actually, it's a pretty big event for some folks in South-Central PA, Maryland and West Virgina; some areas will undoubtedly see 6-10" from tomorrow night's storm, which is already forming on radar over Kansas and Missouri. Here's total QPF for that event from the 6z NAM: The NAM may be a bit overdone but the second wave is probably the juicier of the two for the Northeast.

earthlight Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 frontogenic forcing is increased over eastern pa and nw nj now per spc mesoscale analysis and is forecast to shift e/se. look for rates/intensity to increase the next few hrs. banding to the west/northwest looks great.

earthlight Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 by the way, the new high resolution radar from weathertap is just out of this world--look at the reflectivities off the coast. great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 marked increase in intensity the past few minutes. dry slot is near per the latest radar loop--let's see if it gets here. most high resolution models have it at least kissing my area...but we then quickly go back into good precipitation.

winterwx21 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 But look at the sharp cutoff on that radar. In southern Somerset and Middlesex counties, there's almost nothing falling. I don't like that little north shift in the last few frames. I'm gonna be right on the edge here in northern Middlesex county. Just a tiny shift north, and I'm out of the snow. Anyway, it has been snowing steadily and I'm closing in on an inch. Looks great out there with the wet snow coating the trees. It hasn't been able to stick on the road though, with the temp hanging right around the freezing mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too worried about it, at least at my locale. I think the stuff coming back in over Western NJ looks great. We may lose intensity for a while but it will pick back up.

Manny Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Still snowing lightly but all streets are covered. 3-5" a very decent call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Getting rocked right now in Westchester with moderate-heavy snow. 28.1/26 Plenty cold to stick to everything.

earthlight Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Nice extension of the Morris Co band extending right over my house now. Flakes are good, rates are good, visibility is low. Awesome so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of it, that isnt coming anywhere near the northeast-- although I've seen forecasts of 1-3 inches for this area monday night into tuesday morning. Think this trends north?
