Mount holly

THE EVOLUTION INTO THIS EVENING IS FOR THE FGEN FORCING INDUCED SNOW

TO LIFT INTO THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR CWA WITH THE DPVA INDUCED SNOW

CLIPPING THE SERN PART OF OUR CWA THE HARDEST. THE CROSS

HAIRS OF OMEGA AND SNOW GROWTH ARE MAXIMIZING NOW FROM I95

NORTHWARD (EXCEPT POCONOS) AND EXIT THOSE REGIONS BY 00Z. SO

WHILE THE SNOWFALL TOTALS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY WITHIN RANGE (EXCEPT

ALONG I95 WHERE WE ARE NOW TOWARD THE HIGH END OF THE 10-14"

GRAPHIC), ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS OF THE EVENT SHOULD BE DONE BY 00Z.

Bring it!

I think places from the city and east have another 6" if not more to go. Snow is enhancing again down toward Philly and that will pivot northeast along with the low.

what about that dry area south of us,jm ? ..getting pretty close.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0032
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0328 PM CST TUE JAN 21 2014

AREAS AFFECTED...ERN MD/NRN VA/DE/NJ/SERN PA/SERN MY/SRN NEW ENGLAND

CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW

VALID 212128Z - 220330Z

SUMMARY...HEAVY SNOWFALL -- ONGOING WITHIN A BAND FROM THE
MID-ATLANTIC REGION NEWD INTO SRN NEW ENGLAND -- WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING...WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 1" TO 2" PER
HOUR EXPECTED.

DISCUSSION...LATEST RADAR LOOP SHOWS A RELATIVELY NARROW BAND OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL EXTENDING FROM NRN VA/ERN MD NEWD INTO
SRN NEW ENGLAND. THE SNOWFALL IS OCCURRING WITHIN A WELL-DEFINED
DEFORMATION ZONE ON THE NRN AND NWRN PERIPHERY OF A SURFACE LOW
ANALYZED JUST OFF THE SERN VA COAST...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO
DEEPEN/SHIFT NEWD WITH TIME AS A STRONG UPPER SHORT-WAVE TROUGH
CONTINUES DIGGING INTO/ACROSS THE CAROLINAS/GA THIS EVENING.

THIS BAND OF SNOW IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY CHANGE ORIENTATION THIS
EVENING -- FROM BEING A SW-NE BAND TO MORE SSW-NNE CONFIGURATION --
AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES SLOWLY NEWD ACROSS THE WRN ATLANTIC WITH
TIME. THAT BEING SAID THOUGH...THE PIVOTING BAND OF HEAVIEST
SNOWFALL WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE MID-ATLANTIC/SRN NEW ENGLAND
REGION THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.


WITH A COLD AIRMASS IN PLACE /TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE GENERALLY
RANGING FROM THE TEENS TO LOW 20S/ SNOW-TO-LIQUID RATIOS AT OR ABOVE
15-1 WILL AID IN ENHANCEMENT OF THE ALREADY HEAVY PRECIPITATION
RATES. THIS WILL SUPPORT SUSTAINED SNOWFALL RATES OF 1" TO 2" PER
HOUR AFFECTING THE PHILADELPHIA/NEW YORK CITY/BOSTON CORRIDOR
THROUGH THIS EVENING.

Just got home after an hour and a half commute. Normally take me 15 minutes to get home. The roads are all horrible, barely plowed and sheets of ice. Not a fun drive at all. Also as I was driving there were some waves of snow that were walls of white. The hood of my car was clear when I left work, it has at least an inch if not more snow on it now...
