January 23, 2016 Roidzilla Observations

With some models beginning to show snow entering our area by as early as this evening, I decided to start an OBS thread.

Good luck to all, hopefully we ALL get substantial snow from this.

28* and Cloudy. A gray snow sky if you will.

Virga started, should begin to moisten atmosphere. 26 degrees.

28° 50% humidity dry air where is humidity for good snow

Hey all!  
Since I live in Delaware, I know my posts aren't particularly relevant, but we're going to be getting a good brunt of the storm, so I thought I'd chime in!

You might have read in my Introduction post or my profile that I'm the proud owner/operator of a completely silly and totally unscientific SnowBucketCam, which is a bucket with a yardstick duct-taped to it, with a webcam taking pictures of it every three minutes, and then those pictures are uploaded and analyzed on a website that anyone can look at (and laugh at when it gets buggy, which it will, and which is part of its charm).  I'm a new user so I'm not allowed to post links yet (totally reasonable / understandable), but if you google "Jill snow bucket Delaware" you'll easily find it.  (The page is called "How Deep Is the Snow on Jill's Bucket?"

The NWS is saying in north Wilmington (where I live -- look for "Arden" on a map) can get anywhere from 18-24" of snow. I doubt my snowbucket can record that much snow (especially blowing snow), but it'll be fun trying!

Anyway, just sending you all good thoughts, and I hope the power stays on!

Cheers from DelaWhere?

25* here, hoping the ratios are good with this.

25* here too cloudy feels like snow is coming

I am calling 18" - 24" for the city and Long Island. Just because I am a Weather Weenie and I can.

Getting Ready to Hunker down............

27.1* Bar 29.91 in. and winds light and variable

Here we go!!

I'm thinking and expecting the heavy stuff stays at TZ bridge and south. Traumatized by a couple of storms last year and I don't believe the invisible barrier has been moved until I see it with my own eyes.

cp things look better now for us after looking at the GFS but want to see that wall fall down first!

HRRR looks amazing 

Looks similar to the NAM.

First of many flakes just starting to fall here in Toms River!

Exactly what I stated at the time. Great minds and all that.

It's radar time now,my man, models are done!!!

Feels like snow. It has all day. 26F--- Humidity 38%--- Wind NE 6 MPH
I figure between 10 and 12 the snow should get here
