They don't tune in for sports because Espn is on all day as is NESN, NBC Sports, FSN, YES and SNY, not to mention MSG.

weatherwiz Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The radar is blossoming very well. Definitely starting to get moistening of the column now along with better upward vertical motion into the snow growth zone. Coming down nicely now...even within the past minute. I really think the hi-res models are underestimating the banding that will set-up across CT and are probably just overplaying the persistence of the dry air.

henry1978 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 anyone have any news or reports on what's going on in south jersey between acy and phl? Someone looks to be getting hammered but its not in a population center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 There's still a chance E MA could see a pretty decent band if this gets its act together around 06z....so don't totally close the book yet on a 3-6 hour period of moderate to perhaps heavy snow. It's not looking great for warning snow, but lets see how it looks in 2-3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 If this slot can really fill in we should be good in CT. But as this system continues to strengthen you can really see rapid moistening occur just north of the low's center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is kind of crapola...if we're going to salvage at least advisory snows from this storm, it won't happen from this stuff over the next 3 hours...it will happen between about midnight and 12z.

weatherwiz Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Oh man this is awesome!!! Just received a job offer providing forecasts for a shipping company down in southern CT! Met with them a few weeks back and originally the plan was for it to be an internship, however, it wouldn't qualify for internship credits b/c technically an internship has to be under a meteorologist but at this job I would be the "meteorologist" as they were seeking to develop a position for someone to provide weather forecasts. It's part-time for now but when I graduate next fall this has a good chance to become a full-time position Awesome to get some good news today after sitting here all nervous about the storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
