With H7 closed off, we should start seeing bands coming in off the ocean

What am I looking for on the h5 map

by **HectorO** Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:15 pm

I don't like cold, but as I said, Blue collar job and guy so I need a storm to produce to not get trashed on tomorrow haha. I'm gonna be buying drinks this weekend for my fellow employees. 24-30 is, 18-24 now some saying 12 inches. For a foot I would have gone to work and make overtime. Smile

A couple thoughts for people getting antsy. The storm is already developing as expected. It will be historic. It may be that the heaviest totals are over Long Island and Conn., rather than NYC and NE NJ, but that says nothing about the magnitude of the storm just a modest shift in location. And if most of NW NJ and Central NJ get 6-12" of snow that is not a bust. Any other time where we weren't comparing those amounts to feet, and we'd be talking about 6-12" as a major snowstorm. On Saturday morning most mets were calling for 1-3 inches today. Total. Anyway, I'm still not sure most of us aren't going to get over a foot anyway. Let's be patient.

by **jmanley32** Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:15 pm

Frank you posted that mesoscale report from NWS, will that work west into NYC? I hope we get more than a foot in NYC, I doubt we get the low end. Way too much stance put in this by govt state etc.

No he did say there would be wind but he thinks not much more snow.

by **devsman** Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:21 pm

Here in Merrick...winds must be gusting to 40mph. Snow picked up...heavy bands coming in. SOunds like wolves attacking outside. This thing is still so far away. This looks amazing. We need some suffolk folk to give updates out there. BTW, NYC will get blasted.

by **sroc4** Mon Jan 26, 2015 7:22 pm
