eduggs 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. Ironic that several people were criticizing the NWS yesterday for continuing a winter storm watch for the very areas that will reach warning criteria, when surrounding offices had already posted advisories. I thought the advisory was the right call, although not an obvious one. But the watch was definitely warranted. SCT further east might get to 6" too. So the discontinuity argument between counties has some merit. Maybe they should have had watches as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Pretty much moderate to heavy snow here. Huge flakes, good snow growth for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrick Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Those of us in NENJ might be able to squeeze another 20 minutes or so out of that... the city could go for another hour or two based on that. Nice area of precip hanging back now as the low "deepens" off the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Pretty much moderate to heavy snow here. Huge flakes, good snow growth for sure. Yup. Manhattan, Bronx, north shore of Queens and north shore of Western Nassau ftw right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick05 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. thanks, i hope so although haven't really heard any "noise" just yet!! btw, plow just went by and snow is picking up as well with bigger flakes...

SBUWX23 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 For eastern sections of Upton... due to banded precipitation for eastern sections...will upgrade to Winter Storm Warning for average of 6 inches. Still expect a few more hours of snowfall. Beginning to mix western locations as saturated layer depth shrinks with drying aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCSuburbs Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Those of us in NENJ might be able to squeeze another 20 minutes or so out of that... the city could go for another hour or two based on that. It looks like the banding skipped over parts of NE NJ and went straight from NW Bergen to NYC... still snowing lightly here in NE Bergen, never went to moderate intensity for more than 10 minutes since 9 AM.

Guest Patrick Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Being at the very southernmost part of Passaic County, I am actually still moderately snowing...when the precip lightens up, it pings. no surprise there. But I looped it and definitely see what you mean about the skipping..looks like the dynamics have left the building. lol It looks like the banding skipped over parts of NE NJ and went straight from NW Bergen to NYC... still snowing lightly here in NE Bergen, never went to moderate intensity for more than 10 minutes since 9 AM.

jm1220 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The 850mb/925mb zero lines still look to be south of us. The sleet is likely due to the showery nature of the precip. Temps themselves still support snow north of Sandy Hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazman Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just on the south side of the heavier stuff that's moving thru north Queens/Nassau. Has been pretty light for the past hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 its pinging for some because the lift has pushed east and the precip is shutting off. This was expected for the areas south of the city at the end. A very nice event overall and some nice totals up into rockland, westchester, ct where the heaviest band was always progged NAM did a great job showing where this was going to shape up.
