wdrag Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 A challenging period of travel is possible Friday morning across northwest NJ, northeast PA and se NYS; possibly into the CT portion of our forum as multiple bands of precip sweep eastward across the region. Amounts will be light but where possibly freezing rain or sleet, untreated surfaces could be quite slippery. Additionally there will be a tendency for any rain/freezing rain to briefly change to steady snow even to just west and north of NYC with little or no accumulation there, while high terrain in nw NJ/ne PA/se NYS and w CT are modeled to pick up 1/2-2" before melting begins ~ 11 AM or Noon. mPing. This thread will help concentrate interest Friday mornings system while the other threads occupy the Sunday event and beyond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Good morning, the lead band already into western New England has been mostly aloft although it should be reaching the ground there very soon. Meanwhile, the main band in eastern PA at 630AM is producing snow. I see mPing even has flurries happening in the Hudson Valley. This probably won't be a big deal for most of us except for 2 hours in nw NJ/se NYS/ne PA where a quick 1/2-2" should occur with the heavest in the high terrain. The region NJ immediately west and southwest of NYC (I-I195 northward) sees a period of snow/sleet or even possibly freezing rain this morning where it all ends by 10 or 11am.

gravitylover Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Nothing in the first round so I pretty much expected 7 flakes and then rain. That's not what happened. It's snowing hard and sticking to everything including the street. It looks to be moving pretty fast though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 32/30/SSE1/SN It was legitimately heavy for a little while there but it's down to moderate now, flake size went from huge to small/med and the wind is gone. There's a fresh, clean .5" covering (so far) on everything, we'll see if the lighter rates don't allow for some melting on the paved surfaces. edit: 5 minutes later and it's back to heavy snow with large flakes.

gravitylover Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 That hole on the radar is real. It stopped snowing right on cue, the ceiling stayed low and the light stayed flat, and now as it show it passing the snow is picking right back up. If you weren't watching it intently you'd miss it, pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Last round of snow is moving through now but the temp went up to 34 and it's melting faster than it's falling. At one point there was near 3/4" and now it's down to a half or so and only on things like bushes and leaves or existing snow, hard surfaces are not much more than a thick coating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I only ever had 0.2" on the board, despite snowing for quite a while this morning. Snow depth continues to rapidly shrink and is now down to 8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 ^^ For a very short term event I had a max on the ground of .75" but due to warming temps throughout and a 15 minute lull that allowed the melting to start by the time it ended there was .25" or less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
