Yeah, snowing pretty good in this little burst at 37*. Radar trying to fill in behind it?

Each one is like a half dollar coin

Were you weatherfeen?

some of them said nothing before March 1 - that was a mistake

Flakes here are huge even tho it’s light snow

Probably every other zonked weather weenie on Twitter X

Since 2022? Definitely. But before Jan 2022 we had plenty of coastal storms that favored NYC and east.

Now that is how I remember hecs modeling inside 72hrs in the 2000s and early 2010s.

It looks like we’ve got a final update before this storm gets going around here – as noted in the BTV NWS forecast discussion, Winter Storm Warnings were expanded in the area to some additional counties. The latest Event Total Snow Accumulation map also has a more extensive area of 8-12” shading, and it looks like the point forecasts have taken a corresponding bump. I’m seeing some point forecasts in the Central Greens in the 9-18” range through Saturday, and there are a few hints of that 12-18” shading in the accumulations map.

thats as of now - could change and will start earlier in South Jersey

They've had some clunker seasons as of late, but there's an equillibrium to everything. Eventually, the tides will turn in their favor again. They average nearly as much snow as Chicago and Detroit, and I'm willing to bet their big snowstorm climo is better than Detroit's in particular...

If you, Jebman or anyone ever get the chance to visit Japan, suggest going to Zao or Naeba. Zao NW of Tokyo several hours. It is famous for its "snow monsters", which are the wind-swept snow-encrusted tops of pine trees sticking out of the snow. When I was there telemark skiing, there were only 10-20' of the tree tops sticking out of the 60-70 feet of snow. It was amazing how much snow they had, even by Tahoe standards. It was very interesting how they deal with the snow. The Japanese have snow removal down to an art. Downtown Zao and Naeba (not very big villages) have perforated rubber hoses laying all over the streets and sidewalks. They pump hot water from the natural springs out to melt the snow. The whole area smells like sulfur, but you get used to it. Where they don't have hot water running, they use a variety of snow blowers to discard it. There's simply no place to push it - too much of it. They have some really nifty walk behind snowblowers that are really cool and it seems everybody has one. When it snows on the western flanks of Honshu (the main island of Japan), the fetch off the Sea of Japan is accented by the upslope from the Japanese Alps. The result is akin to what Mammoth is experiencing, and then some. Never seen snow so intense for so long. If you ever do go, hit me up offline. Happy to give some ideas. Heading to Japan in a week for several weeks. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be heading to the mountains this time.

I mean a lot of good Mets didn’t think this was happening even 24 hours ago

Yeah. I’m not buying that amount. Just what a total snow clown map had. Prob 4-6” for the summit there.

Early morning 8-10am snow moves in around noon

It's starting...

just keep your eye on the radar

Acceptable

Poundage

Sorry, brightwaters

Currently in Cape May dealing with a family emergency. Have to head back home on Sunday morning (Passaic cty). Any idea what time I have to hop in the car on Sunday morning to make it up north in one piece?

This is probably going to be one of the rarer storms where north and west of NYC and Long Island (Bergen, Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, Orange, Sussex, Passaic) sees less snow than they do

Between 1-2”. Enough to re-whiten the ground

There’s no concern about rain with this storm, none whatsoever

Just starting
