JCsnow17 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 What a nice surprise. Close to 2 inches and still snowing heavily. I guess the rgem had a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember many ocassions where precisely what you just said happened. I believe this has potential to wind up near 3 inches at CPK and 2-4 inches area wide before the change over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Remember many ocassions where precisely what you just said happened. I believe this has potential to wind up near 3 inches at CPK and 2-4 inches area wide before the change over 0.18 3 hr precip for the park. They're probably already at 1.5 as of 7:51pm. Could see 3 for sure outside shot at 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow_Miser Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 About 1.5" but mostly sleet now. Hey at least your 1 to 3 across the area verified. Yeah, I guess that's true. It would have been nice to have seen some more snow out of this though for me at least. I wonder where the warm tongue responsible for the sleet I've been getting set up.. it wasn't in the 850/925 mb analysis on the SPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I guess the sleet/snow line is route 22, Scotch plains has snow I'm all sleet Yep. Still going to be a salting event.

Dsnowx53 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yeah, I guess that's true. It would have been nice to have seen some more snow out of this though for me at least. I wonder where the warm tongue responsible for the sleet I've been getting set up.. it wasn't in the 850/925 mb analysis on the SPC. The warm layer is a bit further up in the atmosphere than that. Try the 850mb to 700mb layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosh Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just flipped to 90% sleet in westfield. already ~2" on the ground so I'm not complaining, especially if it stays all sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 2" so far in Harlem, maybe a little more. Amsterdam Avenue is total chaos. Buses and cars stranded up and down, from 135th to Columbia (you can see all the way down to ~116th because there's a huge dip in elevation).

The dryslots have been killing us...we're in another one right now which is when I flipped over to all sleet. During bursts of heavier precip I've been mostly snow. Only about 0.7'' now.
