NAM is in its wheel house now.  I usually doubt back end snows and still do here IMBY.  But this is beast and maybe dynamic enough for a band to wrap around.  I think NEPA is really in the game for a nice deformation band.

45 mph gusts.  Would be really cool with a band of snow...

btw.
Give me another NAM run like this and I think I'm hitting 81 N tomorrow.  

Would be nice to get a surprise tomorrow as this thing winds up...

Dunnzoo wrote:.5" of crappy drizzle and rain, 38°. then this..so close yet so far...

Well, trying to find a silver lining, I'm hoping at least to see a personal record low barometric pressure as the center of the low passes almost directly over me tomorrow...

Get ready for wild Friday!

Not us soul, oh well, I have a feeling though with a LP that strong we may all be under a HWW sometime today.  I am going for my second try to break up my kidney stone today so wish me luck!! I will likely come out to the winds howlin.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around
trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of
your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Use caution if
you must drive.

This could come down really nice for 3 or 4 hour period as shown.  Worth my 1:30 minute drive due to the circumstances of the current season and I really so no silver linings in the foreseeable future.

Mikey P isn't this your neck of the woods?

In Tunkhannock PA. West of Scranton. Absolute paste bomb. 32. Roads have at least 2”! Snowing 2” per hour and winds picking up. Oh YEAH.

Jman, I live in LIC now right by the Queensboro Bridge and East River. It’s windier here on a “normal” day so it should get pretty wild. You’ll definitely get big winds in Westchester too though! Best of luck with the procedure, btw. I had those when I was 19 and they are THE worst kinda pain. Sending good thoughts!

Road tripping. About 1.5 hours from my hood. Can’t make it to Towanda. Conditions too bad. Visibility 1/4 mile. SN+. Winds probably 25 gusting to 35.

Snow won’t come to me so doing the needful.

45° with light rain and sun peeking through. No wind.

I'd like to see video if you can post it.

My God, what is wrong with me?

Reached 46° as a high temp, and bottomed out at 28.77in or 974mb, wind just starting to pick up as barometer starts climbing... .27" in the bucket...

Did someone say snow!!!???!!! Where!!!???!!!

Wow wind is ripping, thanks guys for the support, just got home from procedure. They said it appears it worked and the pieces should pass soon hopefully.  Not seeing much in the future per you guys so thats all for now.

Getting steady snowfall with windy conditions here in Albany! I just took a stroll through a nearby park:

Nice heavy and long snow shower.

Couldn't get to Towanda.  Tunkhannock had about 4" when i left and it was still snowing.  Towanda on north was where the real action was my guess is that area had at least 7".  I got a late start and couldn't make it there as it was a mess on roads...

On the way home Poconos was getting pasted.  Meanwhile the Piedmont and Lehigh Valley was wet snow melting on contact.  Old Man Winter was laughing at me!

Quick wet snow shower came and went in all of 5 minutes. 37 degrees.

It's quiet now but the sound of the wind was like a train.

Neighbors storm door ripped off its hinges.
