gravitylover Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I just heard 2 transformers pop a few seconds apart. The power went out for a few seconds but then came back on. The next block over is dark. I fell asleep but have been looking out every few hours, I got about 4" before it flipped to sleet and now it has been raining since about 3am. It's still 30* and the ice is building quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 So for the still working mets on this board... there continues to be need for improved modeling of boundary layers (BL) temps, especially the lowest portion of the BL... ALL model failure on this CAD drainage that is a constant, when, a reservoir of colder air exists near I90 (MA-NYS), available for reinforcement. We're lucky here in northern Sussex County that we had mostly sleet (11P-430A). We'll know more at sunrise, and then if it doesn't warm above 32, a second chance for power outages with 35-45 Mph gusts knocking down ice covered branches tonight. Unknowns to prepare for. One known I think is the risk not only elevated risk for heart attacks removing our solid 4.5" of snow sleet (it was broomable last evening prior to sleet (24f at that time). but also shoulder injuries since the weight of snow -sleet-freezing rain can take a toll.

gravitylover Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Trees are starting to snap now, it sounds like a battle zone out there. I'm not looking forward to tonight and tomorrow. The thought of no heat and running water (again) sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowshack Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 37f with the same driving, ponding rain that’s been so familiar this winter. Good to see some of you N&W folks doing well. Our place in the adirondacks is sitting at 5 degrees with heavy snow, when is the star trek transporter coming to fruition ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, I was hoping to go from 50s into singles within 24 hrs. 38F right now, HRRR suggests low 40s still possible but it's been trending cooler last few runs.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 If the backside precip sheild continues to hold together allot of people are going to be surprised later today. We will not have to take as much time brining cold back in so it’s an easier switch. It would be pretty funny if that were to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North and West Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Looks like we got an inch and a half of snow here at MMU. Steady at 34 degrees. Fortunately, but at the expense of those north of me, we just missed terrible icing.I know I’ve come a long way from when I was younger when I say Thank God that it rained in January..

West Point, NY Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 While I am ready to fall on the sword here for the freezing rain that did in fact make it up through Orange County a few hours ago with this insane southerly jet banging into an entrenched Arctic dome, as I stated yesterday the storm itself would not come into NNJ/NYC/LI and up into SW CT as modeled. Judging by wind direction obs. The closest low is passing from around Philly and going out into the water around LBI. Winds on LI have turned NE so it's going below them out to CC as I thought. This storm too will pass and I still haven't seen a low cut up into an entrenched Arctic dome in the HV when there was an exit off the coast of SNJ available.

NycStormChaser Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm up by Albany and it's mixing with sleet. I'm heading to Worcester, MA where 0.25 to 0.50 ice is expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 We have THUNDER here. I hadn’t noticed the lightning on radar extending from Long Island to east of Atlantic City. 38 degrees with 1.03” of rain so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpruf Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 All rain here with the usual standing puddles but no real ice thanks be to god and now I’m gong to plan my garden and turn my thoughts to hopefully an early and dry spring.

weathermedic Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Tidal flooding now along the Wantagh Pky at Ocean Pky on Long Island (and I’m guessing in Freeport as well) Also along parts of Jamaica Bay in southern Queens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCweatherNOW Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Whenever it snows heavily in Montreal and we’re expectibg snow to stay snow is not a good look. Obviously the guys that were calling for an easy bust here had it right for us weenies it was written on the wall. We’ll see what happens for the rest of the winter though.

Not sure how common it would be for both cities to receive heavy snow (no mixing for NYC) from the same system but I imagine its quite rare.
