A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Snow rates picked up nicely over the past 15mins. Looks like 2-2.5" here so far. Yup snowing moderately here right now, about 1/2 mile visibility but looks like the snow cuts off around Sandy Hook-- is that dry slot moving north?

ag3 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yup snowing moderately here right now, about 1/2 mile visibility but looks like the snow cuts off around Sandy Hook-- is that dry slot moving north? I think it will slow down for a little and pick up with that wider band heading east from western NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Im nominating you to replace Michael Kaye on the Yankee broadcasts; instead of saying seeya just after HRs, you can say them after every pitch Im really enjoying watching the media eat crow after they said winter over earlier last week.

nzucker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 <br /><br /><br /> We did good in rockland and westchester.. I seem to have about 6 inches too. The heavier band is starting shift south Yeah we've stayed under 25-30dbz returns since 1-2am for the most part, and the fluffy snow has really piled up. Although the band will shift south now, I think I end up close to 8" when I was expecting like 4-5", so this is another very impressive storm. When I was in middle school during the winters of 97-98 through 01-02, 8" would have been a major snowfall for Westchester; now it is just the fourth best event of the season and will hardly be memorable considering the Boxing Day Blizzard and 1/27 superband.

I agree-- my avg seasonal snowfall is about 23" which is probably about 10" lower than your average, but the difference between locations so close to each other this year is ridiculous. But at this point, numbers dont really matter-- Ive really enjoyed this winter and this is one more nice event that prolongs winter and silences the "spring is here" people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of these years that just begs for a snow diary. An hour by hour one would be of great significance with how this winter has been.

CENTRAL PARK 2.5 700 AM 2/21 FAA CONTRACT OBSERVER I'm not sure if the "FAA CONTRACT OBSERVER" remark is an error but if it is not did they finally get someone, possibly from EWR or LGA to go and measure at Central Park?

There was a half inch in holmdel an hr ago with all the returns staying north. Looks like one band will swing thru in the next 2 hrs at least but by then the radiation is going strong..I'm hoping tonight can surprise up here, though I'm not thinking anymore than a coating to 1".
