Stormlover74 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yeah I've got in the neighborhood of 5 to as much as 8" depending on whether its gotten direct sunlight this week or not. I'm surprised Toms Rivers is down to 3". Does Elizabeth still have 20"? wow...we still have around 6-12 inches in most area. Drifts are still deep if you hit one when walking.

Toms River is pretty big and always has diversified totals during snow storms - where I live still dealing with a good 6 to 8" pack - that would be North and West of Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daxx Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I was at 48.6 at 9:00 pm. Three hours later, I'm at 56.5. My temps are rising fast. I went outside, and it felt like spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellice Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I have a question about the dense fog here in Central NJ - I had always thought there could not be fog with precipitation, but I was just outside now and it is raining lightly. I don't think it's moisture from the fog itself, it seems too concentrated to me (as opposed to the diffuse droplets one feels in fog). I must be mistaken - it can indeed be foggy and rainy simultaneously. Can any of you experts give any more detail about this - is it just a common thing, and I have failed to observe it all these years? Thanks!

Usually, fog disperses when it starts to rain. However, since the causative factor (snow remaining on the ground) is still there reinforcing it, the fog is likely to linger longer than it normally would.

However, since the causative factor (snow remaining on the ground) is still there reinforcing it, the fog is likely to linger longer than it normally would. That along with the combination of higher dew points and milder air over the lingering snowpack helped the fog formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gakmsg Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Interesting..... 50 degrees, sun is out, sleet/ ice pellets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 It appears a wave of LP along the front is starting to get it's act together...radar starting to light up a bit to the south and west. Could be a bit tricky a little later on in the area. Usually precip will dry out before cold air gets in but this could be somewhat close Interesting..... 50 degrees, sun is out, sleet/ ice pellets.

ChescoWx Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Current Wxsim has the precip this afternoon transitioning to an icy mix by about 5pm here in the NW Philly burbs. The forecast also has snow arriving here on Friday around rush hour with 2-3 inches accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, btw, another odd occurrence today - a January rainbow around 11:30 this morning. The dim winter sun made it look particularly pale and icy.

Analog96 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Still 10" of snow on the ground in Elizabeth! I will take another measurement after the temperature drops, but the snowcover here is amazing for such a warm day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps are in the 40's back to west of Harrisburg and the cold air is in no hurry to move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Snow all gone here, lasted about a week. Not too bad. Highlight of the day was a sleet shower around 2pm. Otherwise, waiting on the system for the end of the week. I'd be happy with a few inches of snow with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Humidity Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 39 with light rain sleet, sleet was actually heavy for time, the sky light, which just lost it's snow last night, picked up a coating. Still have 3 to 10" outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
