Flurries now 2-3" looks like a sure thing for us up here I think some places could see 4-6 western precip shield isn't nearly as broken as modeled.. Once the coastal takes over we should get into a few hours of decent moderate snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that our best lift for snow was coming from a disturbance in western penn later this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that sounds about right but I believe that disturbance is fueled by the energy transfer at the coast not 100% tho http://hp6.wright-weather.com/wrf_nmmeast-radar-loop_1hour.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My call would be 2-3" with isolated 4" totals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Precip has picked up in intensity.. 29f w/ lgt snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I don't think radar looks all that great, but the HRRR suggests a general 2-4" with some 4-6" pixels over parts of Putnam and Orange. Especially after this last storm, my feeling on the HRRR is that it's excellent for identifying and locating localized precip patterns, as long as you cut the verbatim totals a bit. IMO, something like 3.5" is probably our ceiling. I would totally lock in 1.5" to smooth out the lumpy snowpiles, though. Flurries and heavy melting at 37F. Not sure why I'm so warm.

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Heavy bands developing in northern and central jersey look to be pushing almost due north right to us... I think most our accumulating snow will fall in a 3-4 hr period... I went from flurries to light snow now in moderate snow here at West Point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I think we should call a spade a spade and accept this for what it is, a 1-2" refresher. Which I will certainly be happy with. Currently ripping light snow with a dusting on the ground, temp is 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chietanen Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Don't look now, but the Euro (and the GEM) have another redeveloper off the coast on Tuesday. The GFS slides the system harmlessly off to the south. I'm ready for spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was down in the city of Middletown about an hour ago ( 500') and its white rain there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
