January 7, 2017 Storm Observations

Nobody on here ever needs to apologize for giving their best opinion based on their analysis. This is s very inexact science and is extremely challenging. We're talking about global factors affecting systems where 50-100 miles makes all the difference. We're lucky to have so many smart, skilled people here to keep us ahead of the curve on these events.

Coast has to be getting at least 2" per hour rates. Some intense DBZ banding going on over the southern 3/4 of NJ. Lines up nicely with the 700mb Fronto. and 850mb feature seen over EVA. Quite the anomalous jet streak north of us and as stated several times, divergence is favorable. Having a blast tracking and radar watching, as well as seeing pictures and reports! What is better than snow on a Saturday!!

Jersey City is coming down pretty hard right now....Eyeballing about 2 inches

17z HRRR says we ain't ovahhh..that's in ADDITION at 10:1 ratios...very nice banding setting up over the city now as well.

Just shoveled and (measured officially for the first time) 3" here. Seems to have lightened up a bit.

rb. Apologize for what? you made a call and stuck to it. You are 24 and already better than most Mets. Relax!!!

As Armando said, check out these dbZ bands coming across Jersey Shore into LI.

16.5 degrees, light to moderate snow still but I think up here our end is coming quickly.

1.4 inches as of the 1:30 measurement which is already 1.3 inches more than I expected.

I'm hoping someone to the south and east reports double digits by tomorrow morning.

Wow. Big part of I-91 is closed in CT due to "multiple crashes" including this pile up (photo via CT State Police)...

Central park and Newark 1.6 inches as of 1 pm, LGA and JFK 1.8 at the same time.

Sounds about right for now compared to surrounding areas.
