ARyan 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. Yep. I'm in it right now. Heavy snow right now. Visibilities below 1/4 mile. Currently we have 5.8" in Rockville Centre, NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Is that an Eye forming SE of Atlantic City on radar? Very nice low level circulation visible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldstar Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 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 Hoping this indicates the slowing and strengthening storm that wants to make a hook, or at least stall a bit, so we can have a chance at those bands.

NJHurricane 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... Well to break it way down...seems like the main band...the heavy heavy stuff...is to my east...and pieces of it break off arriving here as moderately heavy....so like vis 1/4 mile at times briefly here while to my east probably 1/8mile...yeah some of that is also making it across the river and I expect it will at times...there is an ebb and flow to whats making it to and just across the river. Going to be a long night of radar watching, I'm sure there will be some places that manage to pick up extra inch, two, three from little renegade bands breaking off the main show to our east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it doesnt have any sleet and/or melted snowflakes in it which can also cause bright banding on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlover74 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I know we usually only look at seasonal totals rather than calendar years but I think Central Park can get to 50" for 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that band is swinging through Freeport and headed this way. edit: Im in it now-- visibility down to ZERO again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I hope it doesnt have any sleet and/or melted snowflakes in it which can also cause bright banding on radar. i think it's a coastal front look at the ne winds offshore and nnw winds on land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiburon Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Steve D says latest RUC model stalls the low east of central nj from 6pm to 6am http://bit.ly/egz4Bv Current (21Z) RUC--6pm tonight: 6 AM tomorrow morning: I think you're misinterpreting or misquoting Steve here.

goldstar Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yep. About what time was it projected for this to stall? There has been sporadic references to this thing stalling at some point, but where and when exactly I do not know. I was hoping we would get an update from someone who can actually break down the readings at the various levels of the atmos. and maybe share that insight with us. I would think a capture would bring this closer to the coast, whenever that occurs, and would allow for additional accumulations for areas that are experiencing snow when that happens.

jm1220 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I'm in this band right now. It's literally snowing so hard it's very difficult to see more than maybe 75 feet. And yes, there actually are some rimed flakes/snow pellets in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoAko Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I hope it doesnt have any sleet and/or melted snowflakes in it which can also cause bright banding on radar. If only we had dual pol...

jm1220 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Given the tenacity of the snow from around here west to around I-287, it's hard for me to imagine there won't be 24" totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Look at that band east of NJ..wow!! Dude..this is an all time type storm. There's some semblance of a coastal front developing. The conditions here are absolutely the worse since Feb 06 and are rivaling that easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Absolutely nuts as far as deformation goes. The frontogenic forcing is going through the roof right now. Absolutely unreal display of dynamics. Areas in NE NJ/NYC/Western LI are going to see thundersnow and blizzard conditions for the next few hours. It's only a matter of time before there's thunder in this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should all build statues for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I think I hear sleet pounding my windows but Im not sure-- the visibility is close to zero outside and the wind is blowing so hard I dont know if its snow pounding my windows really hard. Usually in sleet, visibility goes up-- right now visibility is about as close to 0 as it ever gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
