LI Xpress Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Even Norman, OK mentions the warm conveyor belt! If we were to compare this storm pressure wise to a comparable tropical system at these latitudes... Gives the ambient temps in the 20's over land with this things sucking juice over some close to 50 deg water off the gulf stream, speaking in terms of temp gradient this is somewhat warm core, is it not? A look at wv imagery shows a tropical fetch... I know this is not a tropical system and I am playing semantics, but WTF why not stir the pot comparable to how these winds have been stirring my house!

tornadojay Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 there was a dry slot developing over southern westchester into the bronx but it has quickly gotten much darker and heavier in the past half hour. BTW... Nantucket, MA is up to 46 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 What's Central Park at - some idiotic figure like 11"? 11 would be legit since LGA/JFK both have 11....they may come in with more than that, we'll know on the climo report in 15-20 minutes or so or the next PNS, whichever is first..they technically probably had 14-15 if I had to guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefflaw77 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I don't care what my snow total is in my backyard - i probably have 13" or so right now... But if i end up with 15 or 25... it won't matter.. When looking at this storm region wide, i can't say i've ever seen a more dynamic storm in my life.. Just amazing!

tornadojay Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2140 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1124 PM CST SUN DEC 26 2010 AREAS AFFECTED...NRN NJ...SERN NY...WRN MA/CT...SRN VT CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW VALID 270524Z - 271130Z HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES ARE FORECAST TO DECREASE ACROSS NRN NJ SHORTLY AFTER 06Z...AND THEN SERN NY AND WRN MA/CT TOWARD 09Z. ONE INCH/HR RATES MAY LINGER ACROSS THE SRN HALF OF VT THROUGH 12Z...AND THEN DECREASE THEREAFTER. OCCLUDING DEEP LAYER CYCLONE IS POSITIONED OFF THE COAST OF LONG ISLAND...WITH CYCLONICALLY CURVED SEGMENT OF THE WARM CONVEYOR BELT WRAPPING AROUND THE NRN AND WRN SIDE OF THE CYCLONE ACROSS VT SWD INTO SERN NY AND NRN NJ. REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL DEFINED BAND OF HEAVY SNOWFALL EXTENDING NWD OUT OF NJ AND INTO SRN VT...WHERE SNOWFALL RATES OF 1-2...TO OCCASIONALLY 3 IN/HR HAVE OCCURRED THROUGH THE EVENING. SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THE LOW/MIDLEVEL CYCLONE WILL LIFT NEWD TOWARD CAPE CODE THROUGH 12Z...WHICH WILL CAUSE STRONG MESOSCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT /FRONTOGENESIS/ TO LIFT AWAY FROM NRN NJ/SERN NY AND WRN MA/CT...RESULTING IN SNOWFALL RATES GENERALLY DECREASING BELOW 1 IN/HR BY 09Z. FARTHER N OVER THE SRN HALF OF VT...STRONG ASCENT WILL LINGER THROUGH 12Z...FAVORING SNOWFALL RATES AROUND 1 IN/HR THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND THEN DECREASING FAIRLY QUICKLY AFTER 12Z AS THE STORM SYSTEM EXITS AWAY FROM THE REGION.

jm1220 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 It's almost impossible to open up my front door right now because of the drifting. The actual falling snow is probably moderate now and nothing really impressive, but the wind and blowing snow make it incredible looking outside. It's hard to really estimate again but I'm guessing around 14 or 15". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 amazing, and a loop of it...http://weather.cod.edu/loops/Northeast-WV24.loop.html Wish we had a visible. It;s pretty clear this beast has an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the southern edge of the heavy snow making any northeastward progression... unless, this thing is really gonna start moving in the next hour or two. The snow area is now starting to exhibit a more north-south training motion, usually that goes for a few hours before it begins sliding out to the east or northeast....it could easily be snowing as far west as NYC til around 14Z.

Warm core systems have a higher temperature compared to the environment while cold core systems have lower temperature compared to the environment. Most Mid latitude cyclones, our storm, are cold core while tropical systems are warm core. If you have any more questions, PM please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we have a few more hours to go. That area in c/n-nj bounded by i-78, i-287 and the turnpike is the jackpot - places like Bridgewater/Raritan, Gladstone, Baskin Ridge should be the highest totals or eastern middlessex, monmouth and ocean from rt9 and east..

Kingwill Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Been a nice storm but My area was just (I mean just maybe 10 miles)on the western edge of the real Heavy Precip most of the day/night except for a 2 hr period where those 30DBZ rates slid over..My buddy up by Berkley Heights has 10 inches more than I do and he is only 20 minutes from here shows just how severe those cutoffs are ..This was/is an Epic storm for Half of NJ and NYC but just a very nice storm for alot of others but hopefully more chances arise before the winter is out but this one will be hard to top for alot of people..

earthlight Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 There is literally a heaven on earth. I have found it. We have surpassed Feb 06 total here.

masomenos Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 All the wind might now allow for it, but I'm pretty sure somebody in north-central nj is going to end up with 3' or more. The banding has been best in that area. Ringwood due south to Morrisville is definitely the place to be for this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green tube Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 the past 10 years have been the golden age for big snowstorms in our area. 10" to 20" snowstorms have become almost common. it's crazy. 19" here as of 12:30am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Someone wanted to know the total at TTN in the previous thread. I'm near the airport and have 9.1". The city probably has more, and the eastern suburbs yet more... this side of town got shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
