Guest Patrick Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Closing in on 4 inches here in southeastern passaic county... looking at the bands setting up, i can't believe it, but i may reach the high end of OKX forecast amount of 12. Definite possibility. SN+ here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Deformation bands setting up...one over LI and one (I can't believe it, but it's happening) over Central to Northeast New Jersey. Don't forget Westchester....getting crushed here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest NJ Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 3 blocks from LGA and it is smokin outside right now. Not an official measurement but I think we have close to 4 inches with very heavy snow. Hard to tell the rates and very different than the last storm because of the wind. Many people are equating heavier snow with bigger flakes. Correct me if I am wrong but if there is no fog you measure snowfall rates by visibility not the size of the snowflakes.

CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 By the way...1.5 more inches and that's 40 on the year. La Nina? What was your total, despite the boxing day storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I love you guys, but I am going outside...I can't believe I am sitting under a deform band right now. I love snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think BOS may flirt with a DS, but areas near ORH and Ray..down by Kev should do awesome. I work in Andover near the NH border, so it should be good. This is almost a warm conveyor bomb coming into sne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what's funny..I was noticing that on the SLP and QPF distribution and looked aloft as well--really insane storm when it gets up there. Somebody is going to get 2'...the closed H85 and H7 lows pass in the perfect spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ict1523 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It is like a white fog out there right now. Heavy snow with very low visibilities, some wind, but not too much. Should probably pick up 2"+ this hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris L Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 This is quite unbelieveable given the models showing the east shift, at the mesocale models, I am stting at a fairly good band and snowing moderate to heavy snow; so far its a very fine snow growth due to lack of wind, when I saw the sfc low trending westward, I had hope that we would be fine (Northern Eastern NJ).And Like John said, sitting in a band where the models didn't actually show the band is a neat surprise and I truly believe 12" of snow will acutally happen, ths storm reminds me of a weaken version for the February 11-12th 2006 storm, (though it perhaps does not have same heavy, heavy frontogentic forcing like that one did or the December 26th blizzard, but BOTH of them had a heck of a closed low for a certain time which slowed it down a good deal). This is my last post for the night because my limit is up, so I'll post in the morning, though I would LOVE to share the thoughts with you guys! Be well Christopher.

Definite possibility. SN+ here Hey neighbor. It's beautiful out there. It's just pouring snow. I love the looks of the band setting up from Monmouth County to Staten Island to Brooklyn. It looks like it's starting to pivot more towards the NW. There's some 35-40dbz in there. If we can get under that band we'll probably see some 2-3"/hr rates for a while!

SnoSki14 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It may be a fast storm but it sure packs a punch, I'm at about 3". 26F with heavy snow right now, sick banding near the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdt Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 That band is delivering in Mo Co, 3.5 now and its rippin outside. defanately not going to be a bust. Plus today marks 17 consecutive days of snow cover, Thats pretty amazing in and of itself. Thats a nice stretch for snow cover. About 9 or 10 years ago I had a winter where I had snow cover in my yard for the entire calendar winter ~ Dec 21st to Mar 21st. Of course it helped that my yard as a slight but general slope to the NW to fight the sun. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick05 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 OKX Special Weather Statement: AN AREA OF HEAVY SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION THROUGH 1 AM. VISIBILITIES WILL DROP TO 1/4 MILE OR LESS WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR EXPECTED THROUGH 3 AM. EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. MOTORISTS SHOULD USE EXTREME CAUTION AS SNOWPLOW OPERATORS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THESE TYPE OF SNOWFALL RATES...MAKING TRAVEL VERY DIFFICULT. THIS WILL BE PARTICULARLY TRUE ON SECONDARY AND TERTIARY ROADWAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 any idea stop time nassau county??? I still think no reason it's before 7-8am, and even thereafter some light snow bands are possible as it crushes SNE. The pivot is starting up and it should slow down to an extent as the low begins bombogenesis. Awesome next 6 hours shaping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
