Mid level lows are closing off now which is forming this CCB over NJ. We would be getting ready for 2”/hr about now. 2 years in a row on this date that we have been screwed. I was forecasted to get a few inches with the December storm last year. I got 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Excellent reports all: kind of surprised so soon coasts but all the better for highlighting instability and dynamic cooling. Vernon NJ is ahead of me on any snow...am too low and still too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Bright banding overhead and rain coming down pretty heavy. Maybe I can say a gloppy snowflake comes by once in a while but if only we were 1000’ further up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few mangled flakes driving to my parents in wantagh from lynbrook. I thought for sure you would have seen at least some snow there being higher, but the winds trip across the sound is probably ruining that. I bet the top of the Nordstrom tower in Manhattan (it has a flat roof and would be an epic observation spot at 1550’) had a few inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had a couple of events since you’ve been here I think. just white rain still, CCB is on top of us so this was the chance. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Looks to me like OKX radar is setting up what will probably be the primary bands arcing northward from central LI thru ORH... vicinity Brookhaven I91 in CT thru I84 to ORH. Somewhere along there, there should be a very good snow response. Let us know if any thunder. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Snow amounts: I know our Burlington CT observer. SOLID. I expect power outages to begin ramping up between 2-4P. ORH a minisucle 1200 out now... We'll see where that ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Greg Postel is talking about it now, saying it's tracking west of the benchmark calling it a coastal hugger, saying it needs to track east of the benchmark to be snow for coastal areas.

Our best snow events actually track inside the benchmark. Outside the benchmark is a graze or miss. Glad I don’t watch them anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
