Ralph Wiggum Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Back end of snow just about here. Picked up a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Snow winding down here too - 0.60" total. 28F. Went from expecting 2 to 4", to wondering if we'd get any, to enjoying what we did get. Even added to the snow pile a bit. Nice :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard-on-GFS Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just as expected. I never bought those widespread accumulation amounts to the north and west of south Jersey; unmerited. Anyone following this system from an objective standpoint who looked at the high-res short-term models should have seen this coming. The transfer to the coast was going to result in tight banding and subsidence to the north and west; congrats south Jersey on a nice little event. The rest of us can hopefully look forward to a great storm on Saturday, the 0z suite tonight should be all telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treckasec2 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yep, somewhere around 2 inches for this one. Saturday should hopefully get everybody, though seems like us Jersey peeps won't get that much with the mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this takes a more easterly track you could get clobbered by the CCB while north and west see just light snow. A lot of facts to iron out.

Bliz299 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Cape May, 7pm. Snow ended about 6:30pm; a few stars peeking through. Final total 2.0". Temp. was 37° when the snow started, 1:30-2pm, then dropped to 32° by 2:15pm and stayed at 31°-32°. I did not see or hear any rain or sleet, just 100% snow. Wet snow but all snow. Wonderful!

The Iceman Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I may get hit with this last band but can't see it adding anymore than a dusting, which would be more than I have now. 0.0 total with a hour of flurries. .5" of rock salt on the roads though... I feel for Mt. Holly, this was another tough forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for Mt. Holly, this was another tough forecast. It was not really a tough forecast. For the last 36 hours the mesoscale models clearly showed that south jersey would see great banding while dry air would prevail north and west. Anyway as for obs, I'm working my way towards a dusting here in Hamilton at 28.8 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Total snow here today 0.5" MTD Snow now at 3.1" which is 3.8" BELOW normal Seasonal snow now at 13.5" which is 0.5" ABOVE normal. Without the snow today we would have been exactly at normal season to date snowfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard-on-GFS Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 They've dropped the ball on this event since the beginning. Yesterday they were predicting 4" for far northern jersey, I've been taking their forecasts with a grain of salt for this event. It looks like SNJ could easily see 2-4"+, with there being a super tight gradient for areas north and west. I think I'll be lucky to hit 1" up here at TTN. How can they have dropped the ball almost 24 hours before the event even starts? What makes you so sure you know what is going to happen? Let's see if your 2-4" in SNJ verifies then see who dropped the ball. LOL +1 You're starting to annoy me... I thought this was a board for sharing opinions on weather? For the most part my forecast was pretty accurate. It was a clipper with a transfer to the coast, it's not like this outcome wasn't modeled. Obs: 28.6 degrees with light snow.

Obs: 28.6 degrees with light snow. what it's not is a board for gloating. and there were certainly indicators up until the very end that the event could be a little more robust than it turned out. so while you were right, it certainly wasn't ridiculous for forecasters to have gone slightly higher.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 OBS still SN- & fog 28.9F Winds E light Enough out there now to complete coat the grass, sidewalks, and untreated side streets. Looks like the back edge is moving through pretty quickly and will be gone soon. Edit to add that the big 'ole High up in Quebec was doing some serious drying of the air. It took a while for the air to moisten up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, on the other hand, are sharing opinions about a forecast and adding disparaging language such as "they dropped the ball". If you disagree with a forecast, fine. But try to be a little nicer about it. There's a reason the Mt. Holly folks don't come here much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard-on-GFS Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm really surprised that no one broke the 3" mark from this storm as the radar looked pretty intense earlier. I suspect low ratios and the snow happening during the middle of the day were the main causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The first/final band leaving. Just took a walk...guessing .2 -.25....came down decently nice for a short period. Back roads and sidewalks covered. 27.7F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Finished with a heavy dusting. That band was pretty nice, but also haven't seen a good band of snow in awhile, hopefully a preview of the weekend and week ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway as for obs, I'm working my way towards a dusting here in Hamilton at 28.8 degrees. The mesoscale models have been inconsistent at best this winter. I would not of based a forecast on them when the GFS and EURO showed 1-3" and the NAM until 12z run showed more like 2 to 3"+. It's easy to say you were right after the storm was over but the model output up until this morning was consistent with what Mt. Holly put out. They would of been blasted had they went conservative based off of just the mesoscales after this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
