wdrag Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Hi! Would like to see an obs only page for this storm to make it easier to find the data, not only for myself but potentially the media with avid winter weather interest quite high. I'll add only 1 EXPERIMENTAL graphic from about 5AM this morning (Saturday 30th before the storm), but may eventually add pix to support observations as this complex event evolves in its banded - varying intensity form. The graphic below i think is realistic about axis of trouble and I can explain it a bit on the Dec 1-3 discussion page if requested, for those who've not seen this experimental product. Other NWS staff may improve on my interpretation. The legend should assist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a nice sign if this changed to snow during the day! The earlier the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Yes it's cold and you saw the Bethleham PA report. Note also...not sure how many here use mPING but it's a valuable CROWD SOURCING opportunity. I'll be mpinging as we go through so many changes the next 24 hours. Already mPING reports confirm Bethleham on the Radarscope app I use. You may be seeing mPING reports elsewhere?? (Pleaser let me know if you do see mPING reports elsewhere). Thanks and enjoy this messy winter storm. As Highland Lakes posted...we are quite cold with overcast skies nd northeast breeze here at 740' elevation. 21F. 708AM/1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting that at all whats the temp there? it might be a function of low rates, as the precip gets heavier it will snow and temps will drop.

ILoveWinter Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Also in the UWS and I’m expecting a slushy half inch that gets washed away by afternoon so won’t be too upset if that doesn’t pan out. Would be annoyed if tomorrow doesn’t work out tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a function of the mid levels being warmer then expected. Not a good sign for round one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm wondering though is that virga out ahead of the main precip? Because nothing is falling here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
