But yes, this storm is moving quicker than expected, should end much quicker than thought yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any slower movement and amounts increase for all of us. This is the key. If this can pivot a bit instead of racing east, NYC/LI and C-NNJ can get a few more hours of SN+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNJSnowman Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, CentralNJSnowman said: Valenswines' Day Surprise has given us a very thin, slushy coating in Monroe Township (Central NJ) so far. WSW for 4-8 inches still seems achievable, but only if precipitation gets much harder soon. Briefly went to heavy snow after I posted the above (and our WSW was upgraded to 5-9 inches). Now back to light-to-moderate snow. Lot of work left to do if we're not going to bust low in this area, and the futurecast of radar seems to suggest that the southern half of NJ may dry slot. Seems like the models mostly did ok on intensity/precip but may have missed the sweet spot by about 30-50 miles (even as late as the 6z Euro). Eyeballing about 1 to 1.5" on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krs4Lfe Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Just now, Dark Star said: Getting much brighter at times here in Garwood NJ... I'd assume that's an indication of less heavy or moderate snow moving through the area. Tends to look darker outside when snow is heavy. We should keep watching the obs from east PA, should be wrapping up there pretty quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 44 minutes ago, RU848789 said: As of 7:30 pm, 32F and snowing heavily with 2.25" OTG, so that's 1" in the last hour. With maybe 4-5 hours of snow left, think we can get to 6" but maybe not my 7.2" forecast unless we really get into a heavy band for awhile. Been snowing pretty heavily the past hour, so as of 8:30 am we have 4.0" on the ground, so that was 1.75" the past hour, which is ripping. Just did my first driveway/sidewalk shovel and that's heart attack heavy snow, especially the bottom half which has the sleet/wetter snow. The snow the past hour has to be greater than 10:1 ratio snow - much drier and gorgeous dendrites. 32-33F right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJW014 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Coming down moderate, sticking to the roads and grass. That little later of sleet really helped with getting snow to stick. GSP is an absolute nightmare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a quote from a friend of mine who was at the NWS in New Mexico for 30+ years: "Been years since I’ve seen the models perform so poorly…especially in the east. One of my coworkers was a modeler in Environment Canada. We were talking how ******* the performance has been with this system. He thought it was because the upper wave went across the Rockies where drag slowed it down and weakened the system. A combination of fewer inputs into the models that far west and the diffuse nature of the upper system (and model resolution) had a big effect in model performance. This is something he has seen before (he is more into theoretical meteorology)." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
