WintersGrasp Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I remember that storm.....very impressive and awesome for October. Equally impressive is the disparity in snow totals from eastern essex county to western. The west Caldwell report of a foot may be a bit exaggerated, but I remember there being a 5-6 inch difference in just a short drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 As others have said the wind direction out here for us coast people will be important. Hopefully we can get the Euro to nudge east 75 miles or so because if it's a deepening storm heading east of us, the wind direction will be northerly or NNE (deepening lows pull air towards them), and the 850/925mb lows will be east of us. If it's an outcome like the Euro with crazy amplification and the flow slowing down, the low will hug the coast for too long and warm air will overwhelm for places east of I-287 eventually. Eventually the progressive nature of the trough and kicker will nudge the storm east, the question is where this happens. Right now I'd hedge my bets on it mainly being wet where I am and for most near the coast, with maybe a few hour period either at the front or end of the storm where there can be an inch or two of slop. But dynamics can overcome a marginal airmass this time of the year-it snowed at my house on Halloween 2011 and there was over a half foot in much of Nassau County on Nov 7, 2012. I don't think it takes a huge shift to make it snowier from the city and east. I'd say the I-287 corridor is the best bet for 6"+ right now. The Euro has tended to be crazy amped the last 2-3 years even with systems it's ultimately been mostly correct on from 3-5 days it's been too strong or west on several occasions, especially so when the NAO has been positive, this even includes Miller As. I can't totally discount a west track because the ridge is fairly far west but I'm not so sure in this pattern such a crazy strong phase is going to happen.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Wow I'm surprised to see that. Though we know that won't happen with a track like that (no way high point NJ doesn't see more than Newark, NJ), I wouldn't think that it would paint such a snowy picture so close to the NJ coast. Bigtime cutoff though once you get into Long Island That's the December 05 nightmare! It really can a. Did happen.

I hate that storm This won't be a storm like 12/8/05-that was literally a horrendous prior setup for the coast with a big high east of the area pumping in southerly flow. It was good for me in State College at the time with 9" of snow. This one won't be great but it might just be good enough if we can nudge the low track east close to the 12z GFS.

IsentropicLift Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The Euro ensembles actually had a few members inland over NJ but the mean cluster was centered between the OP track and the benchmark with a few over or just east and two or three southeast outliers. Most of the East members were weak sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 'Bout 2.9 inches in the Park with the October 2011 event...obviously *much* more over elevated sections of the interior. I stand corrected, must have been northwestern Jersey with 5" Minor point, but I wouldn't say it was purely an elevation driven difference, as I'm at about 100' here in northern Middlesex County and we got about 5" from that event. Pretty sure the Central Park measuring station is around 70-80', so that wouldn't be a big difference. I'm guessing the bigger reason for the difference between the snow in CPK and Metuchen was how far west we are, as Metuchen is about 25 miles SW of CPK.

That's just telling you that there is a lean to the NW of the mean, but it's not that muc of a distance..the lean is to just inside the BM. Pretty good run actually.

Guest Pamela Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Minor point, but I wouldn't say it was purely an elevation driven difference, as I'm at about 100' here in northern Middlesex County and we got about 5" from that event. Pretty sure the Central Park measuring station is around 70-80', so that wouldn't be a big difference. I'm guessing the bigger reason for the difference between the snow in CPK and Metuchen was how far west we are, as Metuchen is about 25 miles SW of CPK. I mean I wasn't making any type of formal declaration that it was purely an elevation driven snow event; I saw the 19 inches up at West Milford...which, I guess is above the 1000' a.s.l. topographic contour...and just described it as I did.

HSNN4 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 That's a fair point...though if the FAA observer there used the same system the general public does to report snowfall to OKX...there is the requisite drop down menu with "pick your county" when informing Upton...maybe the observer erred when choosing. Do you one better then that, where the FAA contract observer sits is in Essex County and where the ASOS sits along the NJ Turnpike is in Union County.

Most peeps at 200' ABSL saw at least 4". At 190 ABSL I measured 3.6 but on top of my roof at 205' ABSL I measured 4.2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last event, I have a spotter in Greenbrook, NJ (Somerset Co) at an elevation of 494 feet, he measured 1.2 inches of snow while less then a 3 minute drive on Route 22 in Greenbrook has no snow at all, just goes to show what a little elevation can do.

Well as long as he's not liable for a real estate tax bill to both counties (a situation that afflicted a relative of mine who resided on the Nassau / Suffolk border...and whose backyard was in Suffolk and front yard was in Nassau)...which resulted in property tax bills from both; albeit pro-rated / reduced bills.

RU848789 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 EWR is technically in union county... not sure why they list it as being in essex Not quite. Newark Airport is about 2/3 in Newark, which is in Essex County and about 1/3 in Elizabeth, which is in Union County. No idea where the actual weather station is located, though.
