A band of mood snow has been around here for close to 4 hours. Solid coating.

Lightning has been detected in the snow squall.

Poundtown! 1/8" per hour, at least!

I mean I’m at the southern ass end of the metro, 10 miles from the coast and it was an immensely memorable storm. 10.5ish inches with mix that accumulated, mostly icy - total glacier. I don’t know anywhere around this area it wasn’t a substantial snowfall. I still have 70% of this pack today, and had icicles everywhere for over a week. Personally I don’t know how anyone could view this as not an outstanding winter period, it wasn’t a prolific block of repeat snowfall, but it was a substantial storm + lingering cold area wide which is near as good as it gets. Biggest storm here since 16 inches + on 1/29/22.

I may have worded that wrong. I mean that the lightning is picking off (ie. hitting) antennas or turbines, as is common in winter time events. Like the lightning has a choice in what it hits. . I have absolutely no doubt that lightning is actually occurring.

Last 4 5 days "warmup" Both were able to reach/exceed freezing the 5 days EWR: 2/2: 37 / 15 (-2) 2/3: 36 / 17 (-6) 2/4: 35/26 (-2) 2/5: 34 / 17 (-7) 2/6: 34 /18 )-7) NYC: 2/2: 35 / 14 (-3) 2/3: 33 / 23 (-6) 2/4: 33 / 26 (-4) 2/5: 32 / 20 (-8) 2/6: 33 / 23 (-6)

KHZY reported VCTS earlier and I thought it was spurious too. Then KUCP picked it up and made me double check. Most of the lift and buoyancy is embedded in the -10 to -20C layer, so seems possible.

WB 0Z NBM para. Something to watch over the next week...(east of mountains this is all from upcoming Friday onward.)

I know....like 1 foot in Wilmington and an 1" here.

I think all of us in CT are out in this one ….an inch maybe two for you, and then we watch Boston and SE Mass clean up this go around unfortunately.

A dry dong sliding up the valley?

Was just looking at that. GOES GLM is showing a few strikes with the leading edge of the polar front. Wouldn't be surprised if it's picking off antennas or turbines.

Moderate snow at ROC and radar imagery over w NY and L Ont suggest frontal band is activating and post-frontal squalls are driving in behind, so I would caution that parts of Long Island could see similar results off Long Island Sound by late overnight. Winds are picking up, widespread gusts to 40 mph near Lake Huron and in south central ON.

Agree with this take. Phasing both streams is how we get back to Jan 25th but now without the insane cold to keep us from raining. Instead, allowing the first NS to go by gives us 1. a chance for a light event 2. cold air. Then whatever happens out west happens.

He's being a douche. He's trying to get a rise out of us in CT lol.

They don't put sand, but a mix of small stone grit with the salt. Light snow continues. 20.9F

Do you have a forecast for SNE? Curious what you think

surprise thundersnow and snoqnsquall warnings would legit.

Seeing a few lightning strikes and ASOS stations reporting VCTS with that band coming into PA right now.

Well to be honest…it’s been real winter everywhere this season…SNE has been doing single digits above and below zero every morning for weeks on end. So we’ve been there too. Lol.

Nice! So we’re pretty much at or slightly above climo now? Would’ve never guessed that going into a La Niña winter. .

Ray might delete his account if that happened.

DOA for LI. Maybe a flurry at best
