Super Bowl Snowstorm, Part II: First Call

W00000000000

Over 1" here already. I'm in a 2" an hour band. This band goes from just north of Trenton thru north central nj into lower Westchester. Nws looks to be correct with models underplaying qpf on nw side of low. Nam and hrrr has me at .005 le by 10am. Probably going to be closer to .2

Snowing heavily here and sticking.

Greenpoint, Brooklyn: 33.4 degrees, very heavy snow began 30 minutes ago - big flakes.

Red line looks to be the back edge of the coastal based on recent satellite imagery. Let’s see how it plays out!



Also, Frank, nice maps!! Sorry I can’t add much discussion, just too busy. I’ll be trickling pictures in from my parents’ place from the last storm. Check that storm thread out for a prelude, for those interested.

Ahhh. Alright, I’ll be keeping an eye on it.

Also noting some of the higher cloud tops on satellite this evening flaring from the north shore of Long Island back across north-central NJ. Wonder if heavier banding will be favored in that area.

Hmmm. And there is a heavy band setting up right where those cloud tops where flaring last night
@rb924119 you might be on to something.

Hi Res SR models FTW on this. Radar is juicy.
From observations last night and all that convection and latent heat release usually equals a good storm.

Billing jumped the top of that red line about 10-15miles N for this area in NW NJ. Even friend in Pearl River saying is puking snow and they are about 5 miles N of me

It’s been snowing for quite awhile here, almost 1” on my driveway.

It’s really hard to find a good place to measure, between snow piles everywhere, and effects of salt on my walk and driveway.

I just measured 4"! Wow this may exceed expectations after all.

SN+ 30.3/30

My latest forecast for today. The wiper effect keeping hope alive to the very end!! Is today the day to Restore the Roar to the Shore!!!




We shall see...temps and the line seem to be crashing well ahead of schedule. So, I can’t say I’ve hit a point of cautious optimism yet for today, but I am feeling...optimistically pessimistic!!

As of 8 am, just outside of Trenton.



As of 10 am, just outside of Berkeley/Bayville. The familiar position of watching the cross section of temp crash and remaining storm juice. More favorable this time around than usual at this point in the game, so that’s a good sign.

It's incredible out there. Really heavy snow 28 degrees

Started snowing 30 min ago everything covered already..Temp dropped 5 degrees to 32* since it's high at 8 am

New Hope update: Back to big lazy flakes 45 minutes ago, 3" on the ground, temp up to 33*

Radar over me doesn’t do justice... snow heavily for the past 30 minutes.. eyeballing over an 1.5 perhaps approaching 2 already. Temp down to 27.

Rain here models going to bust here

Started snowing at 7:15 am. In Flemington. Currently in heavy band with close to 4 inches (eye balling it)

read 1 page and already people are complaining? Its beautiful coming down hard sticking to everthing the trees roads its beautiful.

I can't get over the size on the flakes. Potato chips. Hit an inch in 20 mins. Just incredible.

Yipp, big flakes, no wind. Very Pretty.

This is the place to be at the moment I guess. Wish I wasn’t 90 miles south of if today. Lol.
