earthlight Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Wow at the deformation band coming ashore from just South of Kings/Nassau county...this is going to be a huge next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 TEB reported 6 on the ground last observation....all the airport totals seem a bit low. SG, I'll bet you that PD2-- the storm where JFK measured 26 inches-- did not have much wind in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 In EXTREME Eastern PA near Washington's Crossing and we are getting absolutely smoked! Close to 8" just measured, heavy band sitting just East about 7 miles but feeling the effects here. Wind blowing as hard as it's been all day. Amazing system! Umm... sure you aren't measuring in a drift? I'm just down river from you in Ewing and as of NOW (8PM) I only have 5.7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 You can see the band coming ashore from southeast to northwest. The wideness of the deformation is incredibly impressive and is about to become even more impressive. Frontogenic forcing is through the roof. Get ready dudes...you'll probably remember this for a real long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-X Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 And then there is that widening bright band coming west from Suffolk-- now close to eastern Nassau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperk99 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Wow at the deformation band coming ashore from just South of Kings/Nassau county...this is going to be a huge next few hours. That will probably move pretty quickly and merge with that mega band and then stay a while!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 AVIATION /01Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/ A MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE TERMINALS TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY WITH HEAVY SNOW AND HIGH WINDS. SEVERAL MESOSCALE BANDS ACROSS THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. LARGE BAND OF HEAVY SNOW EXTENDING FROM THE HUDSON VALLEY THROUGH SOUTHERN NJ WILL REMAIN IN THIS VCNTY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...THEN SLOWLY MOVE BACK TO THE EAST AS THE CENTER OF THE LOW TRACKS TOWARDS CAPE COD. TIMING OF THE SNOW ENDING AND CONDITIONS IMPROVING COULD BE A 1-2 HOURS EARLIER THAN FORECASTED IN 00Z TAFS. WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE PROGRESSION OF THE BANDS BACK TO THE EAST. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR WILL CONTINUE IN THE BANDS AND COULD BE AS HIGH AS 3 INCHES AN HOUR IN THE INTENSE BAND OVER NJ. VERY STRONG N WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME NW AND SLOWLY DECREASE ON MON AS THE STORM CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN BUT MOVES AWAY. WINDS OVERNIGHT COULD BE SLIGHTLY ON THE STRONG SIDE BETWEEN 06 AND 12Z OUTSIDE OF NYC TERMINALS. ALSO HAVE REMOVED LLWS FROM THE TAFS SINCE SFC WINDS ARE SO STRONG. WINDS BETWEEN 1-2K FT WILL STILL BE BETWEEN 45 AND 60 KT THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT MECHANICAL TURBULENCE WOULD BE THE RESULT OF THIS. ONLY OTHER THING TO NOTE...WHICH THE MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE NOT INDICATING IS MIXING ON LI AND COASTAL CT. PERIODS OF ICE PELLETS MIXING IN WITH THE SNOW ARE ALSO EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AT KISP/KBDR/KGON. DON'T THINK THE WARMER AIR ALOFT WILL MAKE IT TO NYC...BUT NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITIES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 central park had .24 inches of precip last HR That could be 3-4 inches of snow in one hour..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 3.1 inches accumulated between 7:00pm and 8:00pm. That band is producing 3"/hr rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The heavy band in central NJ appears to have reached its westward extent. For PHL and its immediate suburbs, it looks like snowfall rates of 0.5-0.75"/hr will continue through most of the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 central park had .24 inches of precip last HR Yeah, it's incredible here. As I posted above 3.1" measured since 7:00pm. The rate of the snow is probably the heaviest ive seen. The Feb 2006 deformation band was close--but this one beats it right now. We're going on 3 hours of blizzard conditions.
