Radders Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Looks to be at least a few hours before we mix, at least based on dual pol. Still can't get over how cold it is out, hovering around 13-14 degrees. Just measured close to 6" and probably had the heaviest snow of the day while I was outside a few minutes ago. Hopefully the radar continues to fill in a little bit. Similar to what i am observing. Hoping the that radar presentation improves and we get some more organized heavier echoes as the moisture is pushed up against the dome of an arctic high that is keeping us this cold. There is nowhere for it go but up. ORH_wxman was commenting on this in the NE obs thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEC Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sullivan county finally in a winter storm warning! 10 degrees with moderate snow falling. WooooHooooo! Weather Underground is still saying that the snow will change over here to sleet before midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snywx Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Plenty of returns marching up toward our area... Heavier echoes as well. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/philadelphia-pa/weather-radar-r1h?play=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The last 15 minutes I have had the lightest snow since early afternoon... Radar looks better than my observation... Have a feeling snow growth isn't as good as it was 2 hrs ago.. Def not snowing like it should be based off radar returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xram Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Have a feeling snow growth isn't as good as it was 2 hrs ago.. Def not snowing like it should be based off radar returns I'm getting what I would call snow grains mixing in here on the east side of the county. Definitely something going on upstairs now.

NepaJames8602 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Are you sure you guys are getting heavy snow. I have yet to report it. Maybe I am missing the bands. Nothing near heavy snow yet when I look outside. I never had huge fat flakes, that's for sure. More like fine to medium sized, but it did get heavier here and there, but nothing sustained for too long. Being it's soo cold though, this stuff has stacked up quickly. Roughly 6.5 inches now on the ground. Btw, sleet being reported just to the south of Stroudsburg Pa now. It's only a matter of time before Pike (my county) and Sussex county start seeing some pingers flying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 A lot of us are on the threshold so far between that spotty convective-like precip to the south and more fully stratiform snows up north... been pretty meager here, less than .5"/hour. Nothing to suggest we won't shift modes to more banded and steady precip, just hope it doesn't wait too long, as the system is moving right along.

Sorta of a bummer. Most impressive aspect of this storm is the cold for me. I was really hoping for something better. Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Gorilla Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Here's a nice meso disc. Bombogenesis is happening. Sleet may not reach HV. Heavy snow bands to continue overnight. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md2083.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw how light the intensity of the snow was I thought I might have sleet mixing in even thought it is 16 degrees here. I agree I think the accumulating snow may come to an end soon but I am happy with my 5-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy snow bands to continue overnight. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md2083.html Mid-level flow is still very much southerly and warm, so our thermal profiles will still probably become sleet-prone toward daybreak. The bigger question I think is whether meaningful precip ends before then. That said, it's worth noting that the biggest pressure falls are centered under that convective complex off the Delmarva, further N and E than modeled by the RAP and NAM. Could keep us colder than expected as has been suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sleet appears to be moving through Northern NJ into Southern NY based on radar and observations. Saw a report of sleet from White Plains. Party may be over soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that was the reverse, at least here, we went sleet to heavy heavy snow. Just heard a couple cracks outside, pretty sure it was thunder. Any way to tell based on radar?

NepaJames8602 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I know the main focus is on this current storm this evening, but a couple of models have another snow threat by Tuesday for our area. Nothing significant, but snow nonetheless. Looks like a clipper trying to intensify once it hits the coast. The hits keep coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
