hooralph Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I couldn't be happier. Definitely looks like an over-performer on the way. Nothing like a Saturday daytime storm. Coming down really nicely with good flakes on the UWS. Now I'm going to be out and about all over the city. Maybe back to sled in the park this afternoon if it really does accumulate.

Was supposed to get 4-6" but it didn't change over until like 8am this morning.

Snowing moderately now. Radar looks great from a line from about New Hope to Parsippany and points S/E of there. Wonder if that's going to be the demarcation between not much and significant snow. Had 1/4" at 10:00 am and now have 1/2" as of 10:30 am - that's 1/2" per hour rates under 20-25 DBZ radar echoes, which makes sense with moderate snowfall. Would get 3" or so at this rate, which I'd be very happy with. This snow, while very dry and powdery, is nowhere near as "fluffy" as yesterday's. We don't have large dendrites like we did for that system, which was about a 20:1 snow to liquid ratio; I'm guessing this snow is 10-12:1 ratio, which is kind of typical for this area. So, if we get 3" today at 10:1, that's actually twice as much mass of snow as the 2.75" of snow we got of 20:1 snow on Friday. But people only seem to care about depth of snow, so it'll "look" like the same amount of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The northern and western parts of the state did well. Unfortunately for them what was bad for snow down there is likely good for us. The New England mets were remarking several times about the warm air being further north than modeled down there, the low being stronger and potential for a further west outcome. Looking at radar, good echos are making it almost to the DE River-I'll likely bust low for most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easy to throw out once all the other guidance went west. Yes. But most here and all media gave it too much weight and were way too low with snow amounts. Rgem has been locked in for many many runs. Never choose the GFS over that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
