gravitylover Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 It's still snowing but the flakes are small and the visibility is back up to about 1/2 mile, further if looking south than north. Temp seems to have stabilized at 33/34. .5" on grass and elevated surfaces, what had started to accumulate at the edge of the street has already melted back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Good morning again, Wantage NJ at this elevation of 740'MSL went back too mostly rain around 930A. I noticed 2.4" at High Point NJ and have added a few LSR mapped reports. Mostly 1-3" NYS, and generally 1/2" ne PA and nw NJ, so far. Looks like NYC may escape recording snow today? I've also been in touch with mets at NCEP and they tend to agree: GFSv16 (parallel) evaluation that its overall synoptic performance in the medium range is superior to v15, and part of that improvement is due to being somewhat less progressive. Also they are aware of the NAM's generally superior performance on CAA rain to snow transition. This may be my last post for this event (final at this location in Wantage NJ 0.03"), until tonight or tomorrows wrap. Even if the prelim outlook by both our forum long rangers and NWS is for a generally mild winter supporting below normal snowfall, we can hope for an Atypical winter, expanding the higher than normal snowfall portion of the sample size. Have a good one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Interesting similarities between this event and the one last May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Also at least in this era we can have above normal snowfall with above normal temps, I'd rather have that then below normal snowfall with below normal temps lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Mangled flake from time to time here. If the Sound was 5 degrees colder, many more of us would be snowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Flake size is way up and visibility way down with this (presumably) last band intensifying overhead. Even at just 1.6", some of my ornamental trees are sagging low. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPizz Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looks like 2.10" total on my weather station, haven't checked the stratus yet. I didn't see any frozen precip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it didn't snow here, as far as I knew, snow didn't exist lol. Never knew what was going on in New England either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have guessed the second storm would not have affected NYC Metro area due to the principle of the conservation of energy. However, at times, the atmosphere "does what it wants". Just a few wet flakes were struggling to work in here in Garwood, if you imagined really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warm LI Sound was the problem for most of us. Also just takes a lot of dynamics to get snow down to the NYC area this time of year and those may have been north of us with the best banding as well.

I hate these Boston vs NYC comparisons, people have to understand they're in a different league. It's like comparing a major league baseball team vs a minor league team lol. Of course the major league team is going to win 90% of the time. That all day snow in October must've been amazing though, how much did they get? I heard 6" just SW of Boston?

We just missed hopefully we don’t miss again I'm not sure, based on what I've been reading this is going to be a latitude based winter and it's best to be north of the CT shore to get good snows. I'd expect less than 20 inches of snow this season and anything more would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An hour after it ended there were no signs of it left....that's how quickly it melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
