jm1220 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Not too worried about the city and near the coast anymore. The boundary has slowly been delayed in getting here on the models today and GFS just delayed it again and removes most precip after it. Could there be a glaze-sure, but the real ice threat will be north of the city. Lots of rain and unfortunately snow melt before. Most of us other than the really crushed spots will be down to piles by the time the cold gets here again. Next 24 hours with high humidity will eat it right up. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee59 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I would say on average about 6 inches of snowpack still here. Of course it varies from a few inches to maybe 8-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Since when did this turn into the snowpack observation thread? Yes the HRRR doesn't have much ice South of 287 in Rockland but the GFS, 06z 3K NAM and some of the other mesoscale models are still on board. 12z will be telling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_other_guy Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 If you approach each potential ice storm in NYC with the bias and knowledge that due to geography, topography, and urbanization, the coastal plain is unlikely to see a major icing event, you will be at a good starting point.

Rtd208 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Nowcasting and watching the temps overnight and especially as we head towards morning in the NYC metro will be important to see just how quickly the cold is pushing south. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Models have been printing out 0.75-1.25" of ZR liquid across the Ohio valley where ice storm warnings are in place for 0.5"-0.75" of accretion.

NJwx85 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 12z RGEM which has always been on the warmer side. It actually has quite a long period of ZR but the precip isn't as intense as some of the other guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand How much of the rain actually freezes on contact really depends on intensity and surface temps. The 3k NAM has most of Northern Bergen and Southern Rockland sitting between 28 and 30 degrees when the heaviest is falling. Would think you would get pretty good accretion at those temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVSnowLover Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 RGEM/NAM now look like almost all rain for the city. Looks like the freezing line makes it to around the Bronx/Westchester border at it's southernmost point with precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
