RU848789 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It's been said by many before, including me, but if you work in the area and are at work now and can head home, I'd highly advise it, since snow at this rate will accumulate even on major highways and we all know what happened on 11/15/18 in a similar situation. I just advised the emergency management Merck folks in Rahway, who I used to work with (I retired last week after 30+ years) to consider sending people home early: my weather notes continue to be sent to about 400-500 people there, even post-retirement, which is kind of cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous out there folks - go take a Jebwalk Accumulating well on all surfaces now, which is easy at this rate and with the low sun angle. It's mainly just accumulating on colder surfaces where I am in Piscataway, despite the good snow rates. My road is still just wet. Temp is 33. We have a nice coating on colder surfaces.

RU848789 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Looks like this is where the band has set up. Could be 6" or more in these locations and travel is going to be rough. Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 1134 AM EST Mon Dec 2 2019 NJZ001-007>010-012-PAZ055-062-021745- Morris-Hunterdon-Sussex-Somerset-Middlesex-Warren-Monroe-Northampton- 1134 AM EST Mon Dec 2 2019 ...AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW AFFECTING NORTHEASTERN HUNTERDON... MORRIS...SUSSEX...WARREN...SOMERSET...MIDDLESEX...NORTHEASTERN MONROE AND NORTHEASTERN NORTHAMPTON COUNTIES... At 1132 AM EST, an area of heavier snow continues to slowly move across much of northern New Jersey. Snowfall rates up to an inch per hour will result in an increase in accumulations on untreated surfaces and also significantly reduce the visibility. Remember, bridges and overpasses tend to be colder and therefore be more slippery. Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. Be prepared that untreated roads will quickly become slush to snow covered during heavier bursts of snow. Slow down and allow extra time when traveling. Locations impacted include... New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, Morristown, Somerville, Port Jervis, Newton, Montague, Mount Pocono, Somerset, Edison, Old Bridge, East Brunswick, Bridgewater, South Brunswick, Sayreville, North Brunswick, Carteret, Dover, Madison and Hopatcong.

donsutherland1 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Taking into consideration the recent guidance and the observed data, my thinking is that NYC remains on track for a solid 3"-6" snowfall (EWR closer to 6"). Parts of northern New Jersey could see 6"-12". To put this into perspective, NYC has had only four snowfalls of 3" or more during the first week of December since 1950. Three of those winters went on to have 40" or more snow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk I started my winter weather emails at Merck in the late 90s and then I became head of one of our major synthetic chemical pilot plants in 2000 and part of that job is being on the Site Emergency Mgmt team, given the tons of flammable solvents and chemicals we have on site and use in that building; then in 2008 I was put in charge of process safety for the site, so continued my involvement with the OEM team. My weather notes started going to the OEM guys, in the early 2000s, especially since we were all involved in snow removal (our operators are involved in that as part of the contract) and they grew over the years, such that we set up a service to have them sent to about 500 subscribers in the company as of now. I just do winter weather and tropical weather and it's mostly for fun, but people seem to like them.

winterwarlock Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 snow intensity has slackened the past half hour in my area. I am wondering if the HRRR had the right idea, current radar has the heavier bands to the east and northeast of Somerset county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Euro seems like it has feedback issues to me like UKMET with convection off the coast. It puts too much precip over central and east LI in next 6 hours. Its 18-00Z QPF for LI makes no sense to me. It does match the 12KM NAM though for E NJ and the Metro with the idea there will be most of the accumulating snow 23-05Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It would be pretty hilarious if NYC ends up with more snow from this than BOS. I doubt that’s the case still but they only got 1.2” from yesterday and they’re sweating what happens today/tonight the same as us. The radar looks quite intriguing with the blowing up precip south of here but the evolution will have a mind of its own from here. Hopefully it keeps nudging east.

NYCweatherNOW Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I’ve been saying they need to issue a winter storm warning here. This could end up topping 6 inches for Central Park once sun goes down! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
