TwcMan Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Temp actually dropped here to 22.7 degrees, looks to be all snow still... about an inch now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We probably have up to an inch right, snowing moderately and looking pretty outside. Will probably go over to sleet by 3AM and mix with freezing rain until 7-8AM this morning which means the morning commute could be very dangerous.

ZeeTwentyFour Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 At the least this little bit will keep things looking nice when I wake up in the morning; That is before the rain starts to wash it all away. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 It will be interesting to see if the sleet line starts encountering some resistance as it approaches NYC and surrounding 'burbs....or if it just keeps rocketing northward at a fast clip. The 00z NAM did the latter....but the ECMWF and the GFS have the sleet/snow line slowing down so that its still snowing in the lower Hudson Valley N of NYC and extreme NNJ/NW NJ (like FWN) at 12z.

TwcMan Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Is it me, or does it seem like the heavier bands of precip can't advanced any further north into NW NJ? http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=dix&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Light Snow. Hudson river is slightly fogged up. Looks nice out there with the snow covering the existing snowcover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwcMan Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Weatherbug dropped my temp to 22.4 degrees now with a sustained northeast wind...anyone else experiencing dropping temps, or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm sure you will be scanning the 7 am obs with bated breath... I will be...it definitely has a big difference up here as to which model is correct...if the NAM is more correct, then it could be a pretty bad ice storm, if the GFS is correct, then its a lot more snow (>6") before any flip. It looks like the colder models race the sleet line to near NYC or just north of it and then almost hold it steady for 3 hours or so. So it will be interesting to see. The 00z NAM had the sleet all the way up past POU and to the MA/CT border by 12z. Massive difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The fact Belmar is still 28 to me means somebody, including possibly even NYC metro is in big trouble in this event as far as FZRA goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We may see steady temps or even slightly dropping temps right now, but there's no doubt that the snow to sleet transition will occur soon and that's because things are quickly warming up aloft.
