1/29 - 1/30, 2014 Possible Snowstorm

Agree with Tom. Close thread.

LI esp Suffolk County needs to pay attention to this tonight for possible advisory level snowfall.  Trends, as has been the case for most of the winter, have been NW in the last 24hrs before events.  It appears this one is no different. Just keep in mind a shift in the current guidance south 30-40miles and nothing more than snow showers for all.  A shift to the North by the same amount and as much as 4-6 inches are "possible" in SE portions of Suffolk County.

Heh, keep having to close and re-open those threads Frank wx can't make up its mind. Maybe we should keep them open until the date has passed just suggestion since the models have been so off the wall. I hope it trends way west. LOL

That's what I am doing from now on. Lol

If we have learned anything this winter, it ain't over til it's over!

Im expecting about 1-3. Just enough to screw up the midterm schedule for school... which has been kicking my ass the 4 days.
Need to get my snowpack back.

Literally spent the last four days up till 3:30am studying. Have no time for anything else.....

We will have to see how heavy the preicp is when it comes into the area. The NAM suggests a heavy burst lighting to a steady moderate snow for a few hours.
WWA up for Ocean County south and LI with a WSW for Cape May.

Channel 12 has a forecast for 2" for me lol

NYC Department of Sanitation has issued a SNOW ALERT which goes into effect at 9pm tonight.

Mets i haven't had an accurate snow measurement out here this season mostly because of the winds but I'll have to go on your coattails and say we're about 33" also. NWS says 2-4" locally 5" over the forks tonight.

This is pretty cool didnt expect nothing at all

A lot of virga going on in SNJ

Looks like a decent band moving into SW NJ

could that band stretch into western L.I?

Not really any virga problems in CNJ, reports of dustings already in ocean county and already flurries here in northern Monmouth

SNJ is blitzing

Light snow being reported in Manhattan

Light snow here. No virga whatsoever. Humidity jumped from 45- 60% as soon as the precip moved in.

Light snow here 19*

light snow over here in northern Nassau county

Getting steadier already. I smell an over performer.

Hope your are correct Mets lol
