As WAR expands, do our snow chances increase? First wave may produce a middling event-solid advisory and possible low end warning for MLK Weekend

Report of 7" in West Milford NJ

[Baroclinic Zone]

Can’t complain what I’ve seen thus far here. 
See what overnight brings.

We ebb and flow thru time.

Ineedsnow intensity equation is just move the decimal place over one:

light snow = greater than 5 mile vis

moderate = between 2.5 and 5 mile

heavy snow = 2.5 miles or less.

Street is already white.  Moderate snow.

Between the Iggles and putting the kids to bed, I haven’t been paying much attention.  Maybe 2” but not heavy yet here

Looking good out your way with the band. Not very far outside those heavier echos but wind is so gusty its probably blowing snow from that band here

Where do you see this graphic of running totals...

Running 72 hour snowfall map, you can use the slider to adjust time increments 

https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/snowmap.html

Snowfall analysis map, uses those totals to create a graphical display of contours of snowfall without individual totals, usually lags behind a little bit

https://www.weather.gov/crh/snowfall

Gridded snowfall analysis from NOHRSC, you can see 6-72 hours here as well and seasonal back to 2008

Just as we thought, this is the storm, now until 10pm.. going to have to do some work to get to warning criteria.. Lets see what happens, edit just saw that band is laying down 2" per hour, so there is a chance at 6" if it lasts for 2 hours..

hopefully some of those totals in NJ are a good omen but also going to need this to consolidate some over CT...good banding signal but its very streaky 

[moneypitmike]

Dipped below freezing just as meaningful snow started.  Wind is ripping.....
