mgerb Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yep. When I was taking the New Brunswick wx obs this morning I melted the snow that had fallen in the rain gauge and got about 0.20'' of liquid. And that was only through 7 AM. Sounds right on. I had 0.24" at 8 AM via a core sample. That was with 2.1" of snow, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 How is 2-2.5" a major shaft zone?

BxEngine Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 For once I'm not in the screw zone.. lol I said the same thing a few pages back. I cant believe that line of heavier echoes hasnt really moved much....we lucked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yeah we're about done I think. Meanwhile from Morris cty over to SW CT could easily see 5"+ IP mixing in now in Somerset. Actually, very little snow at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Over 2 inches. Coming down really good. 3-5 inch calls for the city will verify. For once I'm not in the screw zone.. Man this storm is playing out like the one in 2001-2002. We should get near 4" when it's all said and done just like that one storm in that winter, and then we torch in a day and a half with rain. And then next week we stay torching. I'm still happy we have at least one winter snow event just to say this winter is not a total loss. Next week isn't going to torch. 40's and 50's aren't a torch lol. I see a good February but we will save that for another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just checked the mesoanalysis for 14z... the 925 mb and 850 mb plots show all of us below 0C except southern Jersey, so the changeover may be just how deep the convection/cloud mass is at a give time to places closer to the 0C line. If you lose snow growth saturation, its going to be sleet or be freezing rain since the precip didnt crystalize. Unless of course the mesoanalysis is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 back to light snow. was hoping that heavy stuff south of bk was moving north, but it looks to hug the south shore, ill probably end w about 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEaster27 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I wish that heavy precip was moving into the city and not just skirting south off the coast, would have made this storm. Maybe 2 inches here with the storm just about over, going to measure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StatenWx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 1 inch an hour rates i believe because 1/2 inch flakes are falling and can barely see 250m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Folks..another thing with this crying wolf about QPF being under model. The ASOS's out there do not do well when the temperature is well below freezing. The best way to determine that is do a melt/core sample. Before you cry model bust, think about this. Mesonet reports for 12hr precip look pretty low, especially outside the consistent band. I'm not sure how reliable they are though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Mesnet reports for 12hr precip look pretty low, especially outside the consistent band. I'm not sure how reliable they are though.
