Jefflaw77 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 This storm reminds me a lot of Dec. 11-12 '92 in MA, where it kept oscillating between heavy snow and lt/mod rain... meanwhile about 10 miles west, they got 8-10" of snow. That storm in certain ways seems very similar.. not so much with amounts, winds etc, but w/ the rain/snow line.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Finally nudged our way up to an even 3.0" as of 8PM here in Ewing. That's 1.8" from 12Z to 18Z (actually that was all 15Z to 18Z) and 1.2" since 18Z. Up to 18Z we had 0.99" liquid... will get an equivalent for 18Z-0Z within the hour (when it melts ).

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 At 11 or 11.5 I bet if I had been clearing a snowboard every hour we'd be at 13 or 14 because of compaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Radar does look a little better. NYC might squeeze some snow from 9:30:12am. 0z MM5 last night had NYC getting 2"-4" in that timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 lol, I think that when the upgraded everyone, they jinxed it. They made the assumption most of us made that if it was snowing at 1pm it had to be snowing still at 8pm, but what may have happened was the brief drop off in the precipitation caused a 1-2 degree warming of the 800-1000mn layer, in this setup, even in this sort of setup in January that can sometimes kill an entire storm because it tends to be quite hard to get that layer cooled back off...obviously in the case of a 980mb storm with a strong high to the north you can regenerate the previous conditions but its tough to here.

Alpha5 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Where in Stamford are you? up by the pound ridge line? Yeah, I'm about 5 minutes from the NY border in north stamford. I know you guys have had a rough day down there. we got most of our stuff from the early bands, but snow has persisted since then. A lot of compaction has taken place though.

mike2010 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 yea, the whole NYC metro area is stuck at 34-35 ... If you can't get it to drop with a strong north-wind. then, it's not gonna drop till after the precip ends. Caldwell's a little further up and has been at 32 most of the day.

Just theorizing, but it seems as though that the source region of drier air was close enough to allow evaporative cooling earlier in the day. Now that the storm has spread further northeast, the source region has been cut-off (by precip falling over the source region, thus saturating the air), such that a minor warming is no longer successfully mitigated by renewed precipitation.
