IsentropicLift Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Cold air doesn't dam well on Long Island. Do you think the cold air locks in better west of the city? 26/-3 here. Expecting about an inch here followed by a coating of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB GFI Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Cold air doesn't dam well on Long Island. Disagree mate. Has a few times on the north shore out here in laurel hollow right on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB GFI Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I dont think this is a snow event. But i certianly am starting to thnk that it rains while below freezing for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Do you think the cold air locks in better west of the city? 26/-3 here. Expecting about an inch here followed by a coating of ice.If ray couldn't answer this question, I think we would probably have to get HM to weigh in. A real doozy so to speak, but I vaguely recollect this "north and west" thing from when I was a kid.Last check this area was at 28.3* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB GFI Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well I guess we'll see how that works out later on. So im on record. Typically u r right. Cold air doesnt hold well there. I am just concerned w temp profiles and the mix line out from west pa backed around into snj so my thnking is a lot of ths falls below 32 amd thought wwa were warented. Thx bud.

famartin Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well I guess we'll see how that works out later on. I'll add a caveat to this that cold air has held on LI in the past... but it wasn't cold air damming. Its just the way fronts have set up. Given the unusual orientation of the fronts in this system (coming in from WSW instead of S or SE), LI may stay cold longer... but its not damming.

Allsnow Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Very meh event. Mt holly did a great job on not putting any advisories out for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Very meh event. Mt holly did a great job on not putting any advisories out for us Agreed. In fact the only actual event we will have is going to be the frontal passage on Wednesday. Now that'll be an actual storm, not this less than a tenth of an inch type so-called "storm". The frontal passage should be fun and interesting, I'm curious to see how high the temps go, how windy it gets, and if we get any thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads were a lot worse. Temps in teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nice, a powdery light inch of snow with very cold temps but it was more of an appetizer than an actual storm. To me a real "snowstorm" is minimum 6 inches for us and only Nov 7 matched that criteria this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwarlock Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 the Friday event was hardly a storm...half inch to an inch around my parts...thats meh and certainly didnt warrant the ga ga observations, it was cute ...this is not a storm either but at least with a mixed bag its interesting to watch the precip evolve and uncertainty with that. We still got to put some additional salt on some lots so I will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course, it was modeled to be huge at one point. This never was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
