Newman Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 That IVT is going to surprise a lot of areas in SE PA and Southern NJ. It was picked up on all models, but not to the extent it is at right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if we hit 6 but maybe close. S+ at ACY. That is prolly 1-2/hr so I bet a few spots do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It's 10 miles south of me and appears it will never get imby. Only in the early going but this winter is like the meteorological version of the spanish inquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should drive into the city and see if it's heavier. But you don't want to drive in snow in S Jersey, especially in AC, if you want to be safe. Temp is up to 36 now.

SmokeEater Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Finished with 4 inches in Folsom, Atlantic County, more to my east. Didn't get to see a flake of it fall since I was in North Jersey for work, was weird, it's usually the opposite, lol.

Hurricane Agnes Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Was away from MBY most of yesterday but was near windows and in/out at the location, and only got flurries in NW Philly. Had a low of 24 and high was 33, with above freezing temps much of the mid-day/afternoon. Currently 29, clear and frosty this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family just got back from Disney and came home to an inch or so at our house. And 2011-'12 was..well..let's not talk about it. I was (am) hoping November snows didn't count as an early season jinx. Although now that I said jinx I think I remember many future winters were offered up as sacrifices if the Birds won the Super Bowl...(worth it!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I think after this approx 2 week period of N to AN temps and cutter storms we shift gears finally around the 21st and I am seeing signals on some LR stuff that tells me the period Dec 22-26 give or take a day bears watching. Whether or not the better looking pattern will hold or becomes transient tbd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Cutter on the 15th ushers in a better pattern, perhaps we can steal a storm around the 18th-20th, but the pattern fully matures around the 23rd and on into January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Here are some of Isotherm's thoughts. Let's not bridge-jump too soon. Everything's going to plan: Geopotential heights are likely to correct more positive over the PNA, NAO and southern AO domains as an ineluctable consequence of stratospheric alterations ongoing D10-12. By December 15th-16th, the geopotential structure alteration will have overspread most of North America and Greenland, as the stratospheric vortices are perturbed / displaced toward Eurasia. Robust w1 hit will impact the SPV via the felicitous tropospheric precursor pattern, and once the nascent blocking encompasses the NAO region, wave 2 will be enhanced again. This final follow-up w2 hit circa Dec 23-31 will be the primary opportunity to induce a technical SSW. I have thought that we'll come close, but near miss. Regardless, the tropospheric impacts will be quite significant. MJO should circulate should through p3, thereupon, rapidly losing coherency during passage in p4-5 by mid December. GWO should be back into/approaching phase 5 by about the solstice in my opinion. The momentum reversal processes are already beginning, as this negative/removal mini cycle will be efficiently overshadowed / dampened by the background, resuming +AAM state. +EAMT will increase in the coming week, with more rossby wave dispersion events and wly momentum injection. Classic walker cell forcing resumes again by the 18th, and we will see the retrogression of the GOAK trough into an Aleutian low position on or about December 20th/21st. As a consequence of which, temperatures neutralize/near normal by the 18th-19th, supportive of snow in the coastal Northeast as early as around the 18-20th, then cooler than normal air begins developing shortly following the EPO diminution via GOAK retrogression. December 20th-31st is colder than normal and active w/ an undercutting STJ, with SPV perturbation continuing. In other words, everything's on track. There are heterogeneous stances on initiation/timing among our colleagues here, but by and large, I see the disparities as fairly immaterial and we accord on the larger scale forcing mechanisms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
