REDMK6GLI Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 We can now officially say we've seen it all this winter. All facets of weather we have experienced. Snow, hail, sleet, freezing rain, lightning, thunder, high winds and now a tornado watch, certainly going to go down as one of the most interesting winters ive experienced in my life thus far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Oh my god I thought this was a joke when the alert came up on my phone, seriously wtf. The gradient is quite remarkable, some 20 degree differences over a short distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 A pretty robust storm cell looks to travel right over much of NNJ. Rainfall estimates are over 1" per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long snow pack, hello ugly, dirty snow piles. That's okay if we get a nice, fresh snow pack next week as an old snow pack is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's okay if we get a nice, fresh snow pack next week as an old snow pack is overrated. We might have some flash flooding here. A few spots may pick up a quick inch with clogged storm drains and melting snow pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
