Best deform band of my life by a mile, watching the snow come down like a wall was surreal. 

 

Sorry about the OT post, light snow here now and the temperature has fallen below 30.

Dry air over north jersey doing the dirty!

Very light snow just east of route 110 here in Copiague. Just started.

Always happens.   These events the area north of a TTN-Sandy Hook line sees lighter echoes to start til the layers saturate.

Nam still switches  the city over to Nam but it came southward.

Indeed. Sometimes it takes longer to saturate then other times and some accumulation gets lost at the onset.

I can see ~1"/hr I-95 sewd but not much more than that due to temp profiles near freezing. Bigger fluffier dendrites I think will be in the colder airmass, unless they get huge in NYC due to aggregation and a slug of bigger qpf heading in there.  I definitely expect 2" hr for a few hours this eve e PA/nw NJ and of course advancing northward during the night,

So it will be called New Nam City after the switch?

Snow comes in like gangbusters and accumulates 1-2”/hr for several hours, then we see where the dryslot and mild level warm air gets. That plus what back end snow there is determines whether we get 6-8” or the 12” officially predicted here. I’m leaning toward the 6-8” for now but a delayed warmup aloft and decent burst of snow to end it could mean it really works out. 

JM a 6-8 fast thump would still be very impressive and the biggest thing around here in years....if that happens and some sleet tops it off I would call that a win.....

Not as fast at it shows . We should get a good thump before that.

I thought he was saying that it will snow hard ( before changeover ). The former English teacher in me....

Leave it to the NAM to create a new P Type. As always....

Started snowing lightly here around 2:40 pm - nice dusting...Will be on the knife's edge late this evening into Thursday on whether we get sleet and how much - will possibly be the difference between 6" snow/2" sleet vs. 12" snow (same frozen mass though!) - I'm fine with either - the thing I hate is rain in a winter storm.

You should have seen the Jan 87 storm. It was evil. Not the biggest storm, but so intense i could not see beyond the tail lights in front of me for two hours. Had no idea where I was even going.And that was mid-day.

[NJwx85]

The 18z NAM is not horrid, stop posting bad/wrong information.

[NJwx85]

Look how the CAD is keeping NE NJ, SE NY and LI heavy snow

[coastalplainsnowman]

Heaviest snow for me was mid morning of the Dec. 30, 2000 storm.  I remember taking pics with an actual non-digital camera.  I couldn't see beyond the house next door.  Nothing has come close since.

On TWC they said reports from DC are 1 to 3 inches before they changed. Not sure what parts of DC. They had intense band before changing. 

the airport only reported a Trace, but reports of accumulation in the city especially in NW DC. Adams Morgan around an inch, increasing the further you go into NW DC.

You literally cherry picked the warmest panel. It's a little dicey 00-04z but the warm layer gets pushed back.

[jdpack]

But that is 06z lol

I guess it depends on the location of the sounding. I looked just NW of the city.
