pazzo83 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yes exactly. There is a substanail snowpack around my area and even near Philly area. So while the snow will melt, it might help keep the temps cooler than what the models are showing. At least initally. Yea, probably initially (Fri/Sat). But lows in the 50s is a snow eater like no other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Speaking of teens in NYC in December, the last time the temperature fell below 20° was December 14, 2010. Today marked the 1,100th day since the last reading below 20° in December. That breaks the record of 1,099 days (December 26, 1906 through December 28, 1909) during which the temperature did not fall below 20° in December. Also another streak to keep track of, the last time NYC recorded a low below 10F was on the morning of Jan 24th, 2011. That was 1060 days ago. Not sure what the record is (Uncle?)

SnoSki14 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Winter takes a long break it seems. Even after the super torch, temperatures are mostly in the 40s, maybe 30s for the 24th. It won't be till the last few days of this month that we might start seeing more of a PNA influence to get us colder again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn0w Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 . NYC still hasn't had a low in the teens yet in December despite the cold departures this month. This is truly amazing. I live only 50 miles from NYC and I'm not on top of a mountain or anything...we hit 3 degrees the other night and have seemingly been below 20 more than we've been above it for the past couple weeks. Such a crazy difference for such a small distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 It will be interesting to see the model forecasts the next few days as the MOS numbers are printing out a new highest temperature for Newark in late December.

RU848789 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 fog is the quickest Don't think that's always correct. While water vapor condensing into liquid droplets (fog) does release a lot of energy (heat) into the snowpack, leading to melting, unless there is heat involved, i.e., unless the air temperature is well above freezing, most of the melted snow will simply be absorbed by the snowpack. Also, in many arid locations, sublimation (conversion of frozen water directly to water vapor) is often the predominant mechanism of snow ablation (removal), especially in "chinook" situations, where the air warms and compresses and dries out as it descends, which, along with bright sunshine, will lead to much more sublimation than melting (even though it takes a lot more energy to vaporize than to melt frozen water: 80 Cal/g to melt vs. 540 Cal/g to vaporize). Also, in our neck of the woods, I'm almost certain we'll get more melting from a 65F day with showers (not much sublimation, though, as it's too humid) than a 35F day with fog - temperature is really important...

IsentropicLift Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 18z NAM is much warmer now for Sunday with widespread 70's from I-95 south and east up to the city. Mid 60's for northern NJ and extreme western Long Island. Looks like east of JFK is going to be stuck in the 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The GFS continues to be more progressive with getting the front off the coast on Monday in order to avoid the heavy rain as depicted by the SREF's and NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
