jm1220 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yes...all of the dynamics and features as well as the coastal low and precipitation seem to be on the western envelope of the tracks from earlier yesterday. I think the city and west is fine..but LI could have issues as well as the NJ coast. I'm thinking eastern LI could have a problem, since the WAA is still taking place in advance of the low/precip, but I don't see places already snowing hard around here changing to a mix/rain because of a shallow warm layer. It's already coming down to beat the band here and hopefully we're safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Woodbridge Township (Fords) Light to moderate steady snow, estimated accumulation 0.5" Temp: 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsor Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The HRRR brings rain or a mix as far north as southern Brooklyn and Queens and the South Shore and Twin Forks of LI. Looks reasonable to me. http://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrrconus/jsloop.cgi?dsKeys=hrrr:&runTime=2011012104&plotName=ptyp_t3sfc&fcstInc=60&numFcsts=16&model=hrrr&ptitle=HRRR%20Model%20Fields&maxFcstLen=15&resizePlot=1&domain=t3&wjet=1 There is a well-defined coastal front running from about Bayonne, NJ through central Brooklyn and then extending east to just south of JFK and along the immediate South Shore of LI. Places right along Great South Bay like South Massapequa, West Islip and East Patchogue are at 34/35F right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wow, stark differences. Im at 31.6 right now and about 4 miles SE of JFK and about 2.5 miles north of Long Beach. It's probably around 32-33 here and still all snow, no mix whatsoever, although it's a very wet and pasty snow. It's also sticking to all surfaces, about moderate intensity. I'd say maybe close to 1/2 inch on cold surfaces and a coating on sidewalks/warmer surfaces. Wow, cutting it close. The NE wind is somewhat of a relief though. If the wind were off the water, no doubt it would be a driving cold rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingwill Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Snowing at a Decent Clip looking out on Deck have somewhere between 1.5 and 2 Inches..Figure have another 3 or 4 hr window to pick up some good accumulation as long as that warm(Sleet) finger doesn't work into area some heavier bands are just to the South and West of Here..Unless there is a changeover a good chance of getting up to 6 Inches over here..

Also probably a good thing this one is occurring in the middle of the night lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsor Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It doesn't show a rain/snow line, but if you look at the key on the bottom, you'll see different colors and hatching for rain vs. snow. I honestly couldn't see a rain / snow line depicted while looking at that imagery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much exactly the way I remember 12/25/02, the way it currently is outside. Such a pasty, sticky, wet snow. Not at all like the powdery snow from the last systems. Harder to shovel.

Not at all like the powdery snow from the last systems. Harder to shovel. Also reminds me of the first day of 12/2003 lol-- with a rain/snow line 5 miles to our south the entire day. I actually enjoyed that much more than the second day, because as the temps got colder the snow rates lessened. There's something to be said for being near the line-- as long as you stay just NW of it you get the highest snowfall rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danstorm Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Vis now 1/2 mi., perhaps a shade under. SN right near Battery Park. I'm hitting the sack... setting the alarm for 8 and expecting to see back edge very close, perhaps passed by, and about 4-5" on the ground. Nice lil' fast mover... excited to track next week's linebacker of a storm. Have fun tonight, NYC crew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous scene outside-very calm, little wind, but pouring/ripping snow. Redevelopment and lift really doing its trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
