sussexcountyobs Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 With almost 5" otg , just listened to my forecast on my little NOAA weather radio. They are calling for another 14-22" today and tonight. Plus a couple inches tomorrow morning. LOL! Glad I'm off today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current temp 27/DP 25 we seem to have done real well in our area this time out; this is a good snowfall for us even if it stops here ( though I am assured it will commence once again; right now not much going on and don't know how long we sleeted ) so I will clean up soon in anticipation of more; I'm seeing various reports here that do make me wonder if we will have tons more, but I'm always a bit skeptical. Looks real nice out. Some decent drifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 Good morning: straight cut and paste on the NOWcast for today only. Left the graphics on the topic thread. Dangerous storm today. Safety first. DPW's and first responders need priority. Recovery begins tomorrow. Difficult for me to understand why no bans on travel today (10A-10P)in NNJ/ne PA. Sleet up to Allentown early today and so when precip lighter this morning, sleet could mix in to LI/NYC but you should be good for several hours of 1/4S+BS and 1"/hour snowfall rates as the temps rise into the 30s...already above freezing parts of e LI. Not ideal lift in the dendrite zone for LI but good enough. No matter, take what you can get there. Tonight I see little way that is snows on LI as max lift has shifted nw of I95 and the deep ice nuclei seeding from CI is gone (dry slot) with the only hope that salt nuclei might be able to keep a little snow going there. Expecting per modeling 15-20 more inches between 6A and 10PM NNJ (especially Sussex/Passiac/Morris counties), ne PA near KMPO and interior se NYS with another half foot 10P tonight-sunrise Wednesday. Drifts to at least 4 feet ridges. Damaging wind and I think big power outages this afternoon-evening from combined wet snow load of 6"snow on trees/wires and gusts probably 55-70 MPH on LI (even NYC though I think the 70MPH is reserved for ISP east.) and 40-55 MPH elsewhere in our forum just n and w of NYC. Coastal flooding: looks like 3-4 successive high tide cycles beginning late this morning-midday with the first minor or moderate, the midnightish tonight high tide moderate to major ; and then followed by two minors tomorrows high tide cycles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storm has barely started, we were supposed to have very little snow at this point (we're definitely ahead of schedule snow totals wise) and based on all guidance the significant snows are going to last until the late evening/early Tuesday. It's a long duration storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With sleet seen well into west central NJ already, one can't help but wonder. Still, everyone seems confident of a massive amount of snow coming.

Gonna be a lot disappointed folks today I think I think you need to give it some more time. I would like to see some more radar activity of the transition. Then lets see where shore temps stand. In fairness, shore mixing was always modeled. I read “that wont happen” many times haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Personally I'd be pretty satisfied with the current 6" I have. Getting two 6"+ storms in what was supposed to be a dud winter is a win. No need to panic yet. Miller Bs can have a lull period before they really get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northof78 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Looks like a wall of heavy precipitation making its way NNW from S/C NJ via the coastal, should take about an hour or so envelope most of the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
