weathermedic Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Look what's coming north from the Jersey shore. Maybe it's sleet or large flakes, but looks juicy on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just started ripping on the uws. Not a single pinger and I have been outside non stop. Some of the best snow in the area here so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowgrowth sucks here right now north of HPN. I got wannabe snow coming in as tiny ice pellets. Not heavy at all. 700 layer must be just a tad too warm and dry. forgot to mention that the wind picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just now, JoshSnow said: I think That’s a myth bro. The tiniest snow flakes usually means a long lasting snowstorm and a lot of it. If the flakes are big usually means warm air is close Air being too cold where the flakes form make them like needles and poor/average ratios like 10-1 or a bit lower. I remember numerous snow events in central PA where we had this tiny sand snow that took forever to add up. The best flakes that pile up fast are dendrites that form in -12 to -18C air so for good ratios you look for strong lift and moisture in that layer. The big flakes here are very likely due to them partly melting and aggregating on the way down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathermedic Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Temp up to 31 here as wind became ENE instead of NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleetussnow Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Ok pingers gone and back to moderate snow with windy conditions probably 15 to 20 gusts. Dry/sleety interlude was prolly 45 mins or so. Got eyeball 6.5 inches north of HPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg g Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 when it pivots east the dry slot should start filling in, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetbulbs88 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'm back down in DC these days...back to the same old situation, sitting twenty miles E/SE of the 32 line. How's it going in the city proper? Any Harlemites? Looks like a killer dry slot, yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVSnowLover Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 4 minutes ago, JoshSnow said: The storm just started to pivot east, mid level warmth should dissipate and the cold air intake will change any sleet to snow momentarily throughout the region. Pinging may occur throughout Long Island now. Sleet reports in western jersey should change to snow followed by New York City and finally again Long Island could get another 2 inches at the back end around 4am or so. It’s going to get warmer before it cools back down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_other_guy Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It is a shame. Cold air really locked in over the region. Mixing really isnt the biggest issue. The precip just isnt there. No way we get to NWS forecast. Mine was 12-16. This is a nice little storm before xmas. Nothing more beyond that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
