Gravity Wave Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Per the Euro, 1.8" of freezing rain for the city sandwiched between 8" of snow. Yikes. Major ice storm for NNJ, the LHV and east-central PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem81 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 JFK looks to hit 33 at 12Z and 38 at 18Z CPK is 30 and 32 at those times. EWR does not go above 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenCtyWx Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The snowfall depicted for much of the area seems excessive given the warming aloft, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJwx85 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm not sure we've ever seen heavy rain with temps in the lower to mid 20's. I certainly cannot recall it previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, because all of that is front end. It could come down 1-2" per hour before the changeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always been a snow to rain vs snow to ice, depending on surface temps. How can you say so definitively when reliable models are showing all or at least mostly snow just north of the coast?

I know I said that the Southern cutoff for the big ice was I-80, however it looks like 78 might be more accurate. Of course some of that could be overdone.

David-LI Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If the city gets an inch of ice everyone will lose power. Half an inch is already enough to bring down trees and power lines, I can't imagine what 1.5" does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a good idea to get the generators in working order. And hope for sleet instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be massive midlevel warming in such a setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Wave Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 At this point a south trend would likely just make the icing situation worse instead of giving the city significantly more snow. Every model torches the 850s up into the LHV and it would be tough to avoid that warm punch long enough for the city to remain mostly snow. Only thing I can think of would be an earlier transfer to the coastal, which would interrupt the warm punch and start bringing cooler air south.

Remember how it showed this solution last weekend. Probably need to get to writhin 24-48 hrs to know where the most dangerous icing sets up.

White Gorilla Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Much prefer snow to ice obviously. What eventually happens will be interesting given the epic battleground between warm and cold here. We are right in the middle of it. Still many more model solutions to go before the event, so hold caution drawing any conclusions yet, even with some model agreement. Should be even a wilder few days coming up.

I'm about 20 miles north of 84 and Im just hoping the freezing rain stays south of me. Hate the ice. I'll take the snow and little bit of sleet.
