NYCSuburbs Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Really tiny flakes in NE Bergen county. Not complaining though, at least it's actually snowing and slowly adding to the accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JERSEYSNOWROB Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 2.8 inches here in Morganville, NJ NW Monmouth County. Those just to my NW and SE 'may' have picked up a bit more as I missed those heavier snow bands that came through about an hour or so ago. Have a nice icy toping to the snow too from the sleet. In any event, sounds like everyone is happy once again!! We needed that!! Let's hope for some more in the next 2 weeks!! Ok time to shovel! (I have a new snow blower too but would hate to bust it out for a measley 3 inches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowshack Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 hello boys (and girls? are there any of those on here?)-- i've been lurking here for years (first on eastern, now on american), but have never posted, because, frankly, i've never really felt i had much to add to the conversation. and i still don't. but as i sit here (in bklyn) staring out the window at the beautiful white fluffiness, i thought it was time i chimed in. first of all, it's been great to discover that there are other weather freaks out there as obsessed as i am (growing up in the 70s without internet or cable, i used to get my fix by calling the weather every hour--my parents thought i was having an affair with the weather lady). secondly, i want to thank you all for teaching me so much about the science (and art?) of meteorology. i'm just a hobbyist with no background in the field, so it's been fun to learn lots of cool meteorological phrases with which to impress my friends ("arctic oscillation," "high-latitude blocking," and my new favorite "significant stratospheric warming event." finally, a question about this storm: it seems like once the models caught on a couple days ago that a storm was coming, they were pretty consistent in their solutions (from model to model and from run to run). i'm wondering why that is. does it have something to do with the relative lack of dynamics with this system that makes the physics easier for the models to handle? thanks again, and enjoy the snow... j i sure remember calling the weather hotline alot in the mid or late 80's. That, the weather radio and weather channel were as close as we could get to something like this. Thank you Al Gore for the internet and forums like this... 28 degrees here now. Just over 3.75".

RU848789 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Changed to light sleet here in Metuchen and the radar is looking like it's about over. 3.25" of snow, which is nice, but a little less than I was expecting - seems like we just didn't get the intensity some others got.

Mr Torchey Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I could care less, but UPTON should upgrade to WSW here, some places around the merrit will see a foot of snow easily with this banding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Nice 30-35dbz bands flying over the city. Coming down at a moderate pace, with heavy flakes here. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=dix&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Newark is reporting sleet now Prob just a little drier air causing a few pellets to mix in. The atmosphere supports snow with higher UVVs.

SBUWX23 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Its mostly likley just because the snow is rimed now. I went outside and you can hear more noise when the snow hits the ground, but when you look at it, its just rimed. Newark went over since there intensity really went down. man, i fear that those bright bandings might bring some pingers over here... still haven't cracked the 3" mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yeah it was a little less uniform than I expected. I think most spots in central NJ south of I78 will end up in the 2.5 -4 range while the I80 corridor will easily finish with 5-8" with probably some isolated higher amounts up near CT. Changed to light sleet here in Metuchen and the radar is looking like it's about over. 3.25" of snow, which is nice, but a little less than I was expecting - seems like we just didn't get the intensity some others got.

jm1220 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Long beach..sleet or snow? It's fighting back and forth. I'd say maybe 50-50 sn/ip. Seems to be more snow when it picks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
