All based on visibility as opposed to an observation from a window I'm outside. My fingers are frozen. And it's not light snow. Just peek at a radar.

The_Global_Warmer Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 So what's the deal with that double like line in the wedge. The western side almost parallel with Long island but it looks like there's like a wedge there that's crazy I mean I get it I understand the wind Dynamics but is that something else. Hopefully the f****** line slows down for you guys. I won't lie a part of me is jealous and I want you to get screwed but a bigger part of me is hopefully you guys get the snow you want because we all know how crappy it is to get screwed by sleep and rain. unlike living up in Vermont and New Hampshire and freaking Worcester Massachusetts which is like the snow capital of America. Yeah you know who I'm talkin about I got mad respect for you I know this ain't your forum but damn you always win DARTH VADER! ANYWAYS GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY ON THE ISLAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn0waddict Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 All models projected the sleet line to be close or over the metro area. Do you all really think it’s just going to stay comfortably away towards philly? It will get dangerously close but if lucky it will stay just to the south of a lot of the metro area. So far it’s pushing through PA but it’s having a tough time advancing through NJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There looks like a warm younger extending from east PA and into Jersey. Could wash away eventually. But the sleet risk is there until the north movement stops and it starts turning east, bringing in a more northerly flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have that. Winter is best taken in smaller doses. I'm not down with over a hundred inches a year. 30 is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The sleet areas in NJ look more like splotches that get washed out rather than a solid line. Not sure if it's solid sleet everywhere out there? Maybe snow/sleet mix mainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
