Snowshack Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Nice long tracked meso band... still moving pretty quickly off to the northwest. Sitting under that now...intensity picked up and so did flake size. Right around 3.5" so far. I remember feeling like we'd never get to forecasted totals in Feb 2013 right around this time of night...and the hammer dropped overnight. Hopefully the same result incoming..

Guest Pamela Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Should add the wind is really starting to howl. Unpleasant Jebwalk conditions Being about 10 miles east of me...you are in ideal spot...snow definitely coming down nicely here...but no crazy heavy rates...I think I'll measure.

LnbWx Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It's sitting(or moving slowly west) so close east off the shore. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternLI Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Snow backed off to light/mod after that band went through here, But it's just dumping right now again. Heavy snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing too terribly impressive here...just 1.0 inches in the last two hours...bringing the storm total to 4.0" @ 9 PM in Port Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking East would be best for the last couple of days...but it's been tough to eek out higher totals than PJ these past few seasons...hopefully we both jackpot this time around.

pazzo83 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Steadier snows moving back in to the city (it never really stopped snowing, just lightened up). Y'all need to CHILL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Still coming down at a nice clip....certainly gonna need a period of heavier rates to get the totals up...I've been saying 15-20" all day...I'm not feeling that right now...but I'm hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 One thing that is concerning is not one station at 9 is reporting heavy snow to the east - all are light snow except 1 Westhampton which is just reporting snow http://kamala.cod.edu/nj/latest.asus41.OKX.KOKX.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Guess I might as well post my obs here since I've been posting the most here: Light Snow Temp: 15.7 F Dewpoint: 12 F Probably have a 1/2" which todays light snowfall off and on through the day.

Dino Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Snow growth has been very unimpressive in Central Long Island. We have been in light snow bands for 10 hours and there might be 2 to 3 inches covering vast open spaces with 6-8" drifts new posts and fences. The real stuff seems to be coming in over the next 2 hours which is when I expect to start seeing some real accumulations. Light Snow 26 degrees Winds 30mph gusting to 40mph Considering what we experienced in 2013, there's no way we will get 28" which is forecast -- that's REALLY hard to come by. We could only crack 2 feet last time because we had actual thunderstorms running straight into the cold air (oranges and reds on the radar). Storm doesn't look nearly as powerful over the atlantic as the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 ^^^I thought it was just me. There's no more than 3 inches on the ground. Part of the reason why I haven't even made an effort to measure anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjr231 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Snow definitely picking up now in the city. I can no longer see the Empire state building from my window (it was clear as day 10 minutes ago). Also I'm on the 18th floor but winds are loud and howling. They've noticably picked up as well. I'm ready. Let's do this boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm doesn't look nearly as powerful over the atlantic as the last one. This should be longer duration..depending on which model you believe we could be accumulating through nightfall tomorrow. Definitely think 12-18" in the next 12 hours alone is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 This is a radar screenshot i took from Feb 24th 2013. THIS is what radar needs to look like to get the insane totals -- most areas in central LI got about 24" to 34" with this band continuously pivoting almost for the entire duration of the snowstorm. I just don't see anything close this happening again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Part of the problem with this storm is it is taking a jog too far east if this loop is accurate http://weather.unisys.com/sat_sfc_map_loop.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely think 12-18" in the next 12 hours alone is possible. We do now have some heavy snow in the Port Jeff area at 9:30 PM...much better dendrite growth and visibility greatly reduced. First period of heavy snow all day here. One thing I can say with certainty...having lived here for a spell...these storms almost always start badly and end rather well, in my experience.
