ag3 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah, this is pretty epic... I hope the LGA observer is awake. They aren't even reporting heavy snow right now. This is .1 of a mile visibility and easy sn+ criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danstorm Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The short term models look like they really scored on the inverted trough that looks to be setting up now. That's an awesome bonus. And in the back of my mind I figured there was a 1 in 5 chance of that showing up. The backside of these coastals always carries some surprises... and this inverted trough feature has been hellacious... where do you think we top out? I'd love to crack 10, but think 9 is mighty fine, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danstorm Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I hope the LGA observer is awake. They aren't even reporting heavy snow right now. This is .1 of a mile visibility and easy sn+ criteria. They had 0.5 mile vis. and light snow earlier... it's 1/8th here, best storm of the year. We'll be pushing 20" after this storm... pretty amazing start to winter.

I'd love to crack 10, but think 9 is mighty fine, too... Honestly it's impossible to tell here with the way the wind is now. I'm thinking 7" or so now in Long Beach? I'm hoping for 10"-let's hope the inverted trough lives up to it the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyblizz44 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Band is just sitting on top of northern Queens and LGA. Dumpage. Tio the extreme. Ill measure at 4am & I suspect here (Kew gardens just north of JFK) will be over 8 inches. It has been snowing violently for 2 hours straight easily 1.5+ in per hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 * TIMING...THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL WILL BE INTO THE MORNING RUSH HOUR. THE LOWEST WIND CHILLS AND VISIBILITIES WILL BE THROUGH AROUND MIDDAY. * IMPACTS...HEAVY SNOWFALL...AND BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF POWDERY SNOW...MAINLY THIS MORNING...WILL CREATE DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS AND COULD IMPACT SNOW PLOWING OPERATIONS. WIND CHILLS BELOW ZERO COULD LEAD TO FROSTBITE OR HYPOTHERMIA FOR ANYONE EXPOSED TO THE COLD. WIND CHILLS 15 BELOW OR COLDER WILL LEAD TO AN EVEN MORE RAPID ONSET OF HYPOTHERMIA.

peregrinator Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Measured 6.3" here, albeit in a rather wind-sheltered spot. Impossible to get a good measurement right now with the drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LnbWx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Are KNYC(3.1") and KLGA(3.4") being under reported? (Source: NY1 twitter). Absolutely don't understand why they should be this low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEXtreme Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well we are almost touching 8 inches on bergen county..looks good. I'm in Bloomfield, Essex county and Its around 7 or 8 inches.
