RU848789 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Light snow has begun here in Metuchen! Band looks thinner, so hoping for 1/2" out of it... Edit - 1 min later and it's moderate - didn't expect that, lol... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetbulbs88 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 1-3" is a good call. Not much guidance to indicate more than that. Hoping for more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be ~2" at all 3 stations maybe less at JFK. Unfortunately this initial band is drying up as it approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just took a quick walk - gorgeous out there with moderate (not quite heavy) snow and 1/4" down; guessing another 1/4" before this band ends - nice!

Unfortunately this initial band is drying up as it approaches. Yeah this front end thump is looking unlikely. Snowgoose was mentioning how these setups usually backfill faster than modeled so hopefully there isn't much of a lull. But for the time being, not looking likely for that either.

Wetbulbs88 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 One of my least favorite things about living in the city is seeing good bands shrivel as they approach the Hudson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was looking juicy halfway through Jersey only to result in light snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Probably around .2-.25 here from this band. Goes to show you what good ratios can do for you. Will definitely not be that way later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Star Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Already a dusting here (central Union County, NJ). Surprised it started so early, I thought the dry air would eat away at the snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barman49 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Radar looks to be filling in pretty quick. Maybe not much of a lull but some light snow instead. Sent from my GM1925 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note that doesn't really belong in an obs thread but, in a more general sense when forecasts are made it would be cool if a distinction was made based on east and west of the River. I know it's hard to forecast for microclimates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduewx80 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The increase in winds associated with this frontogenetic band are interesting. EWR began gusting just as it arrived. Radar velocities indicate winds will die down again as the more intense snow ends.
