blizzardof09 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 weenie flakes flying from oes, nice band should be here any minute, feeling an overperformer for sure tonight. if you go by how the radar is really blossoming around the tri state area it has a good chance to overperform. i cant really read into it but i agree with you.

Fantom X Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I just got caught in a nice snow band around Bohemia. How Can I post a photo from my mobile phone ? Snow coated the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other then the OES, I don't think much more than flurries or a shower, as quickly as it blossomed its decreasing in intensity, we'll see, DP is pretty high.

earthlight Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Band nearing Allentown looks pretty good right now on DIX radar. We will see if it makes it. Could be a snow squall type deal overnight tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEaster27 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Can you explain why a south wind today doesn't bode well for Saturday? up to 38 now, just shows you how warm the ocean still is. We are going to have S/SE winds during the morning on Saturday also. The warming this will cause may be underestimated by the models. 18z NAM shows this well with temps into the upper 30s at JFK. Just think about it, I am up to 38 degrees with -8 at 850mb. Saturday we will be much warmer at 850mb, not even talking about the wind off the water. 18z NAM JFK: Station ID: KJFK Lat: 40.63 Long: -73.76 NAM Model Run: 18Z 19JAN 2012 HR Valid 2m Tmp 2m Dpt 10m Dir 10m Spd TPrcp CPrcp 1000-500 500mb 850mb 500mb MSLP TCC PRS WX Tot Snowfall Vis Deg F Deg F deg kt in. in.

SnowGoose69 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 The NAM is not correctly grasping the evaporative cooling though, assumimg the snow does not arrive til 10Z, the spread is 33/21, we'd proably drop to 29 or so and the snow would overcome any BL cooling that might occur in the light S-SE flow. Also, the snow is likely to come way earlier than the NAM currently shows, its always a slow model to start with and these events are usually early too.

Edit: O I see you are talking about the saturday event, I am talking about tonight and releating it to saturday. As long as the wind stays more ENE, you are correct. However a south wind will rapidly increase the temps and dews as it is doing tonight especially along the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Hammer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hey everyone! We had a good 3/10ths of an inch before here in the Stony Brook area from those ocean/sound enhanced snow showers. Cars and roads were completely covered and they got slick in a hurry! Was coming home and saw three quick accidents (spin outs off the road)...so I already nearly got my half inch for tonight with tonight's "main event" still on its way. As much as I loved the milder winter weather, I missed this snow excitement! ...even if it's not that big of a deal... T: 31F Wind Calm 3/10ths" Fresh Snow Currently: Flurries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
