WeatherFox Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Looks like a potent squall about to hit NYC and it's boroughs. These snow showers & squalls are moving thru fast, the air column is dry and the surface temps are near 32 degrees. Some lucky spots might get a quick trace or dusting .

CT Rain Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 HPN dropped down to 1/2SM as the thing went through. Looked like M1/4SM near Byram on our live camera at the height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSuburbs Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 There's another weak flurry in NW Bergen approaching... really nice how I can see the dark clouds to my south moving out, mostly clear skies directly overhead, and more dark clouds coming in from my NW.

psv88 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 looks like eastern queens "jackpotted" from this...barely a dusting here...look more impressive on radar, a few decent bursts that never intensified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Dusting everywhere. Easily heaviest snow I have seen this winter. Visibility was way down during the height with huge aggegrates. As back edge pulled in, could see blue sky to the north. Cool stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBUWX23 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 5 inches? I meant heaviest at one time. It was a white out with snow blowing everywhere in wind. could barely see woods behind apartment How much snow did Long Island see so far this winter?

NYCSuburbs Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 5 inches? I meant heaviest at one time. It was a white out with snow blowing everywhere in wind. could barely see woods behind apartment I was asking in general how much snow LI had for the total season, although especially after all of the blizzards over the last 2 years it's just odd to think that so far in the entire winter, a single snow squall brought the heaviest snow at one time to parts of the area.

patrick05 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Flizzard for about 10 mins here.. Dusting on grass and road.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUWX23 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Its not really hard to believe. None of the snow this winter has brought visibilities down like that and had that heavy of snow here at any time. The event 3 weeks ago had 4 inches, but was light the whole time/ I was asking in general how much snow LI had for the total season, although especially after all of the blizzards over the last 2 years it's just odd to think that so far in the entire winter, a single snow squall brought the heaviest snow at one time to parts of the area.

BxEngine Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 HPN dropped down to 1/2SM as the thing went through. Looked like M1/4SM near Byram on our live camera at the height. Yeah we were definitely under 1/2 mile vis for a few minutes across the river in Nyack. "heavy" dusting id call it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the snow this winter has brought visibilities down like that and had that heavy of snow here at any time. The event 3 weeks ago had 4 inches, but was light the whole time/ I would've thought that the late January event would've had more than light snow... the radar showed 20-30 dbz bands over Long Island at times with that storm, while the radar had these squalls around 28+ dbz when they moved into Long Island.

SBUWX23 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Not all 28 dBZ snow is alike. That event had graupel, which radar beams will have a higher reflectivity from. Also, there was alot of melting and mixing going on at the radar beams height so some of the snow then was bigger in size also creating a higher reflectivity. This snow squall that we just had was loaded with snow, huge flakes and small ones alike and blowing around.

Snowshack Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Light snow shower in Rocky Point, blowing around on the streets but not quite on par with the full blown dusting we had Saturday morning. Now THAT was something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had something to do with the flakes but didn't know exactly what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
