Can it get to NYC?

by **billg315** Mon Jan 26, 2015 10:57 pm

The radar over the last hour is encouraging. It's the most westward movement of the precip shield all night. And ironically (or not) right around when the models earlier today projected it. Let's see how far west it gets before it hits a wall.

This is really heavy over mid-nassau,LI. Wind not that bad but snow coming down at incredible rate.

by **Frank_Wx** Mon Jan 26, 2015 10:59 pm

@abba I think so

by **devsman** Mon Jan 26, 2015 10:59 pm

westchester, based on CH.5 looks like good snows right now

by **snow247** Mon Jan 26, 2015 11:00 pm

Light snow here now, maybe I'll get an inch or two from this after all.

toople, not a weird question....I had the same question...what does it mean if H5 closes off?

by **amugs** Mon Jan 26, 2015 11:04 pm

Those bands make it to about Passaic county and then get eaten up
Snowing moderately with winds kicking in
We have many hours to go peeps crazier things have happened over night with bees storms!

I believe when closed off it would slow, maybe stall the Low as it isn't with the jet. Also can cause it to tack further to the west a bit.

The band moving into Atlantic, Ocean, Monmouth right now looks pretty strong.

That band is nearing yonkers sweet, and after that moderate snow is solid, heres hoping. Still light snow mostly.

Frank answered this before. If you look it up on last thread, you will see his answer. If it closes off, it becomes "It's own entity" and is not controlled by jet stream. That means it slows down and throws more snow back. It should happen after 12 but it may be too late to throw big snows back west to jersey. He explained it much better. But i feel bad he gets asked the same question every hour so i will answer it now for him. But i'm drunk. So...good luck with that.

Roads are getting really bad. No asphalt to be seen. Winds picking up on LI. Trains are now done on LI.
