jdt Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Western edge of that heavy band over NE NJ is expanding west a little and just coming over eastern Sussex County. Should increase rates here but nothing like what is happen east in the heart of it. So far this is going very much according to plan. There will definitley be a sharp drop of in accumulations some were in the northern half of western NJ westward into neighboring eastern PA.

Sundog Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I measured 5.2 inches here in Bayside. Possibly from snow drifts? No you're probably right. I just went out again and got about 5 inches of depth. I already see drifts approaching a foot with all the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Local Wx:3 Day History: As is often the case in windy snowstorms at some ASOS sites, the present weather sensor has likely become caked in snow and is no longer functioning. The RH is apparently reading a bit low as well, thus the only thing that the ASOS can figure out is that there is haze. If humidity was a more realistic value, it would report freezing fog right now.

loadletterpaper Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Been watching radar and hoping it pans out that way. Been pretty quiet precip wise the last couple of hours out here (Rocky Point). Winds are blowing tho. The storm is approaching its closest point to you, so the snow is pivoting in your direction. Unfortunately, it probably won't much further since the heavy banding looks to be pivoting back east over Delaware/S Jersey. The storm is also deepening explosively right now, which is causing the thunderstorm and heavy rain/snow formation over the open Atlantic south of LI. Look for the dry areas over Suffolk to fill back in very soon and likely go to tremendous snowfall rates and thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Heavier band developing just west of the Delaware? Or are my weenie eyes seeing radar hallucinations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Blizzards are more about winds and reduced visibilities than deep snowfalls. Purely for deep snow accumulation, I would prefer a weaker surface low to our SW with prolonged southerly flow overrunning an arctic airmass. But for the thrill of an intense storm, I'd take this every time. With average snow to liquid ratios and significant but not extreme QPF, totals in excess of 12" should be relatively limited geographically. Moisture transport is somewhat limited and the storm duration is moderate. I expect the extreme totals in excess of 18" to be confined to a narrow strip from CNJ through NYC metro, WLI, and up into SWCT. Also another relative max area in EMa where ocean enhancement will help out quite a lot. The tri-state area is looking absolutely golden. But if we manage only a foot of snow, we should take that and feel very fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goombatommy Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Heavier band developing just west of the Delaware? Or are my weenie eyes seeing radar hallucinations... I just noticed that too LV! 5:20PM and only an inch on the ground. Here's hoping we're right or else we may even bust on the lower amounts here. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It's the expansion of "baroclinic leaf" ... the storm is still deepening and the result is a broader CCB and Dan, it is a beautiful baroclinic leaf.... classic looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonli18t Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 When should we start to expect thundersnow if you were to get it? i would say right now through the next 4-5 hours just based on current radar trends. some monster banding going on with convection firing over the open ocean waters.

LocoAko Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 What a strange band located off the NJ coast. It is full of orange echoes and is perfectly straight, and even has subsidence behind it as seen on the radar. That is going to mean real business when it moves inland... probably going to mix down some nasty winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
