earthlight Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The snow is much wetter than I would have expected...the ratios really blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 1" here in New Brunswick and it's coming down heavy now Same here in Metuchen - 1" on the ground (just measured) and close to heavy snow - maybe 3/8 of a mile visibility. 31F. Point and click now says rain unti 5 am for most of Middlesex County and points S/E; doesn't mention rain at all in Union County (OKX) or even NW Middlesex County or any of Somerset County, as far as I can tell. Hope we stay all snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The snow is much wetter than I would have expected...the ratios really blow. Hopefully the low starts wrapping colder air in by 6-7am, but I agree. Has to be no greater than 10-1 currently. At least the rain line looks like it might just avoid me. Better 10-1 ratios than puddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah, still it wasn't easy to make out, heheh. Definite coastal front as you noted...North Shore towns close to Port Jeff generally running betwen 26 F - 28 F at the current hour. Snow continues to fall here. 26 degrees from Greenlawn to Miller Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The snow is much wetter than I would have expected...the ratios really blow. wait till, those yellows go by. Before/while i was in them in it was just elephant flakes falling from the sky, then i changed over to sleet and rain...once they cleared out i now have fine flakes, powder.

Im hoping for at least 0.5" QPF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The snow is much wetter than I would have expected...the ratios really blow. hmmm, im not that far north of you and my flakes are small and i couldnt even make a snowball.

At least the rain line looks like it might just avoid me. Better 10-1 ratios than puddles. Strongly agree...it's dumping here now. Haven't measured but it's at least a few inches. I love refreshing the snow pack like this...this winter rocks..big time cold on the way this weekend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsonsbuff Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The snow is much wetter than I would have expected...the ratios really blow. 236 miles to ur north... good ratios. I personally prefer the wet stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Really coming down hard outside now, I'd say it has to be heavy snow at this point. Gorgeous scene outside-very calm, little wind, but pouring/ripping snow. Redevelopment and lift really doing its trick. This is my favorite kind of scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthlight Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I love what the snow does to the neighborhood..it's so serene, everything is dead silent and covered in white. It is the only natural event which can completely change the landscape we live in and still be so beautiful and harmless (most of the time).

Manny Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Snow has been coming down at a steady clip in Manhattan for a while. Should heavier any day now. All in all, beautiful out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Down to 31.0 now, JM! We're definitely safe here now, I think. Eastern Suffolk yet to be determined, and some of those bright banding echos are headed their way, but they might catch up anyway from the stronger low and banding once the cold air wraps back in. They dryslotted for a time on 1/12 and yet finished well ahead of you and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Once again, some curious forecasting for CT from Upton. Absolutely ZERO coord with surrounding offices. Even BOX thanked ALY in an AFD yesterday about actually coordnating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-X Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Lol it was/is a close call-- Im down to 30.9 now. JFK down to 30 with an ENE wind and 0.5 mile vis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Once again, some curious forecasting for CT from Upton. Absolutely ZERO coord with surrounding offices. Even BOX thanked ALY in an AFD yesterday about actually coordnating... From some of the comments I have read from a number of folks in the NYC threads it almost sounds as if there are some NWS office rivalries or something.

Hence the common misconception that eastern LI gets less snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
