WIN Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It appears we are getting "shadowed" at the moment between the the primary & the coastal. We'll see how it all plays out. I'm a jd man myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting in that you must see accumulation differences within you own yard. I live at 385 feet but have to drive over a hill that goes a little over 500 feet to get to the main road. Just in that little elevation difference I sometimes will see differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are really freaking out there this morning. I'll admit, I was up early and concerned, but Patrick reposted Earthlight's post from this AM about the "shadow" effect. I still think our NW climatology hooks us up w/ some serious lift later this AM, early PM. Check out precip building in Northern VA. Sweet...

rygar Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeah, i am still concerned though. I could easily see it being more snow showery here, with moderate bursts, while closer to coast ends up with more consistent precip. We should still get 2 inches out of it.

Guest Patrick Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 the last storm was interesting in that i had snow with a little Sleet mixed in...wasnt until the next morning that i saw freezing rain had accumulated on the trees Two acres down the hill...talk about microclimate.

WIN Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Being concerned is one thing. I am too, but I'm not gonna get bent out of shape over it & from the tone of your posts. You guys aren't either. Some of the comments in nyc have a much more stressed out tone. Its just weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The precip shield should continue to unify with WAA lifting from the southerly flow of the primary, but it's hard to get significant totals without decent banding. If I had to guess, I'd put the ceiling at about 4" for most of the area except CT where coastal dynamics get going. Side note, my cloud cover looks high for right before a snow, not the lowhanging undulations I would expect. Happy snows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96blizz Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Exactly. We always knew this wasn't a big one, but with a good base and a couple to few more inches of powder, it will keep our NW land looking beautiful with the prolonged cold to follow! The beers will taste just as good w/ 2 or 6"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Wasn't suppose to start till 10am anyway.. 3-5" still looks plausible. Everything looks on target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdt Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The shadowing discussed has / is occurring for eastern parts of NW NJ but radar trends suggest that will end in the next several hours as coastal continues to develop and expand its precip shield. Will be interesting later this afternoon just how far west the heaviest bands of snow reach. Regardless ~3-5" for most with a few pockets of 6-7" in areas in the best bands later. Mainly just flurries here at 10:45 with temp 28 and dp 25. Btw elevation at the front of my property about 860' and the back 890'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdt Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Incoming! Yep looks like the next few hours will feature steady moderate to occasionally heavy snow for our area. Still not sure of the details of precip placement later on from say about 4pm on. But for now I will enjoy the next several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
