Chief83 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think it is kind of cool that we get a storm like this without the Gulf of Mexico being the moisture source and it coming up the coast. Picking up in intensity now - holding at 28 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiburon Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 that's what I am waiting on, from about Toms River south along the coast has missed out on any frontogenesis...hopefully still meet low end totals.. You'll do better in that situation. Basically, you want to watch the 700mb frontogenesis on the SPC mesoanalysis for an idea on how that frontogenic band will set up. One of the red taggers can explain far better than I can on the hows and the whys for that, but regardless--once that coastal gets kicking the eastern areas will get in on the fun.

Winter Wizard Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 State of Emergency issued in DE, and snow emergency issued in Philly. Philly schools are already closed for tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Heavy snow falling here, estimated accumulation 3.0"- 3.5" and accumulating rapidly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Snowboard measurement 2.9" in Ewing as 2:05PM 2.75" here Ray. Rather anemic rates occurring just north of the death band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The death band is dead, but its handiwork lives on. Seems highly likely the highest storm totals will be in that narrow swath from far N DE, across Delaware County and Philly, into northwestern Burlco, far southern Bucks, southeastern Mercer and into Monmouth.

yankeex777 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Snowboard measurement 2.9" in Ewing as 2:05PM How can that be? I'm just south of you in Hamilton and there is easily 4-6 on the ground. unofficial of course, but I can still eyeball it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I remember missing out on the best bands back in 2010. Those misses meant a different of 10" or more in very localized areas. Insanity. I do miss enjoying those bands right now; moderate snow out here but nothing like 2"/hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ_Ken Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Now that the "death band" has died (well, it still has a pulse but it is not the monster it once was), it is time to see if the coastal will deliver or not. I am looking through my weenie googles at the moment (they are kind of like beer goggles except instead of making all women hot, they make all radars amazing), but there does seem to be some expansion of the light to moderate snow coverage in the Philly area and to the southwest almost to DC. Maybe that is the first hints of the coastal doing its thing.... or maybe it is more wishful thinking on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 ray what are your thoughts for res of the day? storm end a lil earlier than originally thought? Continued snow, tapering off tonight. I think 6-10 is still a decent call outside the deathband. The deathband will probably be more like 10-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what the coastal does, a "death band" of your own is definitely on the table. I wouldn't call it a sure thing or even a decent chance, but it is definitely in the realm of possibility.
