Drz1111 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Loving the radar upstream. Heaviest echoes developing over the top of the Cheaapeake/Delmarva. Heading straight for the Tri-State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Anyone else find this alarming? Greatest pressure falls look to be around the VA capes? I would think thats more favorable for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking70 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 25.3 degrees. Light snow falling. Dusting on everything. Quick question. What is the time difference between Z and real time? Is it 6 or 5 hours? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Looks awfully baggy to me...I think the coastal is going to pop much closer to VA than predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 This would be a great event to forecast right now not getting any model data but just having to use the observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have a competition, meteorologist survivor. Take some mets away from things for a few days in a controlled environment and see which one can best forecast a storm using only obs and sat/rad. Total viewers for this show would be around the total currently reading this thread...but I'd be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those nuts on TLC can have a show screaming about a scud cloud, crashing vehicles and breaking windows chasing tornadoes I'd be surprised if a show like that would not actually work out okay....I'd estimate most people who watch Storm Chasers are in this field.

IsentropicLift Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm telling you, the map showing where the greatest pressure falls are is a very good indicator as to whats going to happen. With the last snow event, the greatest pressure falls were right at the coast and in the end the storm hugged the coast. I could see several people waking up suprised, and the recent radar trends over MD support a further south development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 This could be the type of very dynamic setup where the radar one hour could look very bleak, but an hour later a massive area of S+ is encroaching into the area. This is a situation best suited to nowcasting and looking at pressure change charts and the like. I'm sure it won't be quite like the 1/12 storm, but it could go very quickly for a lot of us from not so exciting to a more dramatic situation and heavy snow.

Sey-Mour Snow Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 interesting snow growth looks great here, radar not very impressive but its been snowing very steadily nice size flakes for 30 minutes or so and accumulating should have an inch by 1am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass28 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 going to take a miracle to get 3-5 in NYC as its already snowing to our NE. We will probably get missed between two areas of snow. Can you read a radar or no dude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisnow66 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Can you read a radar or no dude? Second that comment. Looking outside your window won't tell you much but following radar returns will. Relax and have a glass of wine or a beer and just chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drz1111 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Since the heavy echoes over the Chesapeake first started popping about an hour ago, they've just continued to grow and back build. We're in a perfect spot here in NYC- things are blossoming more to the SW than the models were showing this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 noreaster (27) I have no idea what you're looking at but its definitely not the radar because it is blossoming beautifully southwest of us....snow should start over spreading the area in the next 2-3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 looking good...NJ should start filling up nicely within the next hour or two. im gonna make a DnD run real quick. you panicky freaks chill, its gonna SNOW. keep it comin baby, freshen up the snowpack....YUUUUSSSS!

Radar beams often catch high level areas of snow surrounding the radar, since the beam increases in altitude with distance from the radar. Doesn't mean the event is going to be a "bust", especially in a dynamic event such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking70 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Happy someone else is noticing this...look at those pressure falls, we might end up much better than forecasted. Why is is it better for us if the low is farther down the coast? Thanks. Just trying to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
