Prob around 11” or so
-
You know it’s a good airmass when ACK is gusting over 40 knots out of the east but they have S+ at 27F.
-
Just measured for real. 9.4” as of 5-6 min ago.
-
Extremely low vis in this stuff. Snow growth isn’t amazing but it’s decent. It’s just puking though
-
You lost your more stable BL when the CF went through.
-
Prob 1/8th vis now. Eyeballing 8” or so.
-
Getting destroyed right now.
-
My buddy in Stonybrook is pelting pellets.
-
Closing in on 6” eyeballing it against last measurement of 3”.
-
It’s not very often you cannot see any dryslot yet when zoomed out on the NY State radar view
-
Incoming with another very intense band
-
This is probably the best radar I’ve ever seen that wasn’t a coastal…and even with the coastals, prob only a few would surpass this look…your firehose type events or maybe just incredible intensity in a large CCB like Feb 2013.
-
There we go. That’s 2008 style right there. That’s gonna really suck too since it’s cold behind this storm. Lot of people without heat.
-
Pingers trying to reach NYC now.
-
First hour or 90 min here was pure baking powder. Had to get into the 20-25 dbz stuff before seeing good snow growth.
-
Just passed 3”. Pure blower fluff on top of that first inch of baking powder.
-
Single digits all the way down to ABE is impressive
-
Absolute poundage in this band. This is perfect snow growth and not much wind. Prob over 20 to 1 when you are in a band like this.
-
Dendrites starting to mix in. We’ve been moderate pure baking powder for about an hour now. Growth noticeably improving the last few min. Temp 4.8F.
-
Ok yeah it was just weathertap screwing up a couple frames. Back online. Looks like incoming for ORH-PVD
-
I hope this is just a weathertap radar glitch and not the BOX radar going down
-
I remember starting as snow in that one around -4F. Hard to believe it flipped later on. Kind of like the Tip storm from Jan ‘94. Shouldn’t have to worry about it this time.
-
Dont see a map like this every day.
-
No, both Feb ‘03 and Feb ‘78 were just over 27” but the 2003 measurement is kind of fake. It was controversial at the time. They cleared too frequently. But they’ve never had 30”+. Though I think there is a good chance that the city itself cracked 30 in the ‘78 storm.
