sferic Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 If that area to the S/SE of Long Island's south shore can maintain its trajectory nice snows might hit the south shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Looks like the storm is really starting to crank now, have some pretty good heavy snow bands showing up over the area and out over the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCGreg Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Why anyone ever uses the term "puking snow" is beyond me. Really. In any event, Central Park already reported 4.3 inches of snow as of 1 or 2 p.m. And as of the 1 p.m. update, Upton had a winter storm warning up for 10 to 14 inches of ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATION. So whether people want to call it a bust or nonevent or other completely subjective term, Upton continues to go all in. I am skeptical of the NWS, but obviously they see something here. And, as one poster said previously, it appears that the coastal low is rapidly forming off the Delmarva and is currently 994 mb, which is at or stronger than some of the models had it last night. There is no reason to think that we can't officially get a foot out of this, especially with the sun setting soon. If you want to be disappointed because not all of that will have accumulated on the pavement, or because we didn't get thunder snow, or because we didn't get 3-4 inch/hour rates, go ahead. You can join BW and sulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleetStormNJ Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The next 6-8 hours are the thick of it. Let’s see what happens. Most places indeed have between 2 and 4 inches thus far on landscape or cold surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooralph Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Storm is cranking. Sure, we'd probably have another 2-3" if it were January, but the scorching post-equinox sun will be setting in a few hours. Radar is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I meant by when I said that the Euro yesterday may have been attempting to focus on the second s/w instead of the original one which was supposed to impact the area. It may have seen that the original s/w was sheering itself out while leaving behind energy for the second s/w to consolidate. Likewise, this may be why things are beginning so slowly.

Well the radar has had more of a popcorn/cellular look which has inhibited the development of high snow growth smooth banding. This might be partially a diurnal heating issue, however, and should abate as the sun sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
