CAPE

High of 21. Currently 19. See how low we can go tonight. If the winds die down later, should easily get into the single digits. Lowest so far was 7 after the Jan 3 storm.

20 here. Deep winter look and feel. Side roads are bad due to the constant blowing and drifting from the open fields. Lots of cool snow devils. Snownado? lol.

Lol is that a vacation home or where you live? Did you get the 8.3 the model showed you? It's my house but it really is a perfect vacation home. I will probably market it as a retreat/hunting cabin when I go to sell it. Guidance ran the gamut here and the 18z GFS was the worst-still showing 10". Most other guidance had backed off to the 5-8" range. Ended up just short of 6". It played out just like I thought. These late developing scrapers will almost always give me some decent snow, but the best always stays east. The GFS love will maybe back off a bit as it was terrible with this event- way too far east for many runs then incrementally went west and ended up with more snow too far inland, as all other guidance corrected the other way.

1/3/22- 9.5" 1/7/22- 3.2" 1/16/22- 0.8" 1/29/22- 5.8" Total: 19.3"

LOL Damn

Maybe check some of the obs in this very thread from the beaches.

Obligatory cabin in the snow pic. @nj2va

19 and blustery. Looks like the back edge is slowly approaching, with a bit of 'enhanced' band. Might end with some light snow after hours of this super light stuff.

The 2 good (best) winters out of the last 6 here have been Ninas. Even last winter was decent.

The storm that had no chance. Imagine that!

Persistent very light snow here still. Temp down to 20. Very pretty out. Looks like a solid 6" but I haven't ventured out yet.

He is on the Jersey shore.

How we doing over at the DE coast? Had a webcam of Lewes up before I went to bed and it looked impressive.

Wind has definitely picked up and the snow is very powdery with the drop in temp.

Nice storm here and about what I expected. That band that set up early on as the coastal was just getting going produced the best period of snow here, with big dendrites. Picked up 2" in that 2 hour period. The rest has been light to moderate and no big fluffies.

Maybe but the radar doesn't have that look. More likely some drier air working in and probably not ideal upstairs in the DGZ.

Actually just ok. Oddly the radar looks good but what's actually falling is pretty light. Might be 2 inches since I went to bed. Once I wake up a bit I will venture out. Temp is 23.

Midnight obs- 30 degrees moderate snow 4" Time to get some sleep.

Wind picking up a bit now.

Indeed it will. Enjoying the snow here but it will not compare to the experience down there. Should be similar to 2018 but with higher wind gusts.

Back to moderate snow with medium sized flakes after an hour or so of light stuff. Temp down to 30. Just about 3" now.

Yeah at this point toss the models and just watch it happen. I haven't looked at the radar at all, other than seeing HM's tweet lol. I was like wow that's what just came through and gave me an inch per hour for 2 hours.
