famartin Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I think I'm in the subsidence zone on the western side of the frontogenesis band. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 The heaviest snow seems to be aligned almost over the entire length of the Garden State Parkway right now Continue to see heaviy band form in E-NJ and track inland. Any totals from our friends down in the Mid Atlantic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Upton just put thundersnow in the TAFs for all the major airports, I'm not sure I've ever seen it put in TAFs before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardlover Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Continue to see heaviy band form in E-NJ and track inland. Any totals from our friends down in the Mid Atlantic? About 2" in NW Delaware (Pike Creek, 5 Mi NE of the intersection of DE, PA, and MD) after snowing fairly lightly for 7+ hours. Perhaps this radar suggests we might squeeze a little more snow out.

A-L-E-X Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yes, the low seems further east. The NAM and GFS went the right way at the last second. It doesnt seem to have affected the qpf or the area of banding though-- and there was a dry slot across eastern LI-- but thats closed up now.

Thunder Road Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It doesnt seem to have affected the qpf or the area of banding though-- and there was a dry slot across eastern LI-- but thats closed up now. no it seemed like a lock for NYC yesterday already. but it means the difference between 8" and 14" here, and places to west it means the diff between 3" and 10". so it's definately interesting to note...

jm1220 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It doesnt seem to have affected the qpf or the area of banding though-- and there was a dry slot across eastern LI-- but thats closed up now. The radar looks extremely 12/30/00-ish right now. You even see the narrow, banded appearance to the precip out over eastern LI. Looks like the almost certain heavy snow band over N and C NJ made an appearance tonight. The terrain there plus the forcing from the storm is just about the perfect combination for them 7 or 8 times out of 10. The only times it doesn't appear is when the forcing doesn't really reach them (like 12/19 last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoAko Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Newark now sustained at 35MPH gusting to 45MPH. 1/4 mile visibility.

snowman21 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Newark now sustained at 35MPH gusting to 45MPH. 1/4 mile visibility. For blizzard criteria, sustained winds have to be 35MPH, or just gusts? If it is gusts, we just met it.... It's sustained 35+ for three consecutive hours or frequent gusts 35+ which is open to some interpretation as to what constitutes frequent. You need that to go along with visibility 1/4SM or less for three consecutive hours. That's the hardest part for verifying a blizzard warning. As soon as the wind or snow let up just a little bit, ASOS will print a special observation showing the increased visibility to 1/2SM or 3/4SM ruining the chance at a three consecutive hour streak.
