Fluries in Wayne. 31°. Come on snow! We need you!!!!

Frank, Justice League was DC. So far the only good DC movies were the Chris Nolan Batman movies and Wonder Woman. All the others are a waste.

HRRR = great......hearing SREFs are MASSIVE, but cannot yet confirm, all of this for what very little it's worth lol

by **SENJsnowman** Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:46 am

Not time to panic yet Coasties! We are still in line to get pelted with 10+ hours of mod to heavy snow. Focus more on where the banding/dryslot sets up a few hours from now. In the meantime, we have to wait...

Meant to ask you last night, how close is your parents place to Scranton and in what direction from Scranton?

I know their place at 1800 feet does well but Scranton seems like another one of those snow holes all the time.

Snowing steady for 45 minutes Only pavement not sticking 33*

by **Dunnzoo** Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:49 am

Just a few flurries here 33.6°,

by **rb924119** Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:50 am

Still technically virga here in Fishkill, but I can actually see the snow wisps in the clouds. SO COOL!!!! Estimating the ceiling to be ~1000 feet. Getting close!!!

We are about 30 miles due east of Scranton. And absolutely, Scranton gets screwed over BAD ALL THE TIME lmao it is a frequent occurrence when our house receives double what they do, and even three times lmao they are also much lower than we are and trapped in a valley, so they get shadowed in most events, and pretty much warmed in borderline events while we get upslope enhancement and stay colder longer.

Temp down to 32.7 here. I’m like Alex 80/20 snow to sleet. VERY WINDY. IM SURPRISED ST HOW SINDY IT IS DO ESRLY

I can’t believe the NWS didn’t upgrade to a blizzard warning.

by Smittyaj623 Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:02 am

Frank so if you move that map down about half an inch, Bayville still in the game with a foot?

by **Math23x7** Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:03 am

Well, the CPK temperature did go to 31*, below freezing (!). Also, from my office window here in Midtown, the snow is picking up and is starting to stick on some pavement on the ground(!). Let's see if the temperature stays below freezing. If it does, and the snow lasts as long as it is projected to, then my snow predictions from last night night will increase.

Northern sections of NJ are experiencing virga at the moment

Mi can’t quite make out where that bullseye is on the map Frank posted. It’s on LI. Can anyone help me point out what town that is

by **Frank_Wx** Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:06 am

Wet bulb temps are below freezing for most. Once this storm actually forms we're all going to be blitzing meatballs

They will change from hour to hour so I try not to get to caught up in them.

I agree though the last couple have trended a little south and east.

Just hoping to get 8 inches to make 80 for the season!

by **CPcantmeasuresnow** Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:19 am

26.5 here with very light flurries.

You can definitely see that the precip will have a hard time working through the dry cold air here. National weather service still saying 7 to 12 inches here honestly if I get 6-8 out of this I'll consider it a win.
