    Mix of fat flakes and ZR in Hillside right now, roads could get messy in this I would think. Still 28.

    33 at home, within ten miles east of there is up to 40. 28 at work in Hillside. Definitely got more snow at home. Some flurrying here now.

    Gratz dude! We’ll get more Friday, however much it is. Should be something at least.

    Literally on Amazon buying one of those as we speak. That is so fun!

    I graduated HS in 2006, growing up in Monmouth I only remember school getting called for like 6 inches. Especially with how quickly the main roads clear it seems silly, but I remember always hearing it’s the condition of the side roads and out of the way developments that moves the needle on this.

    Two different spots, 2.2 on my sidewalk and about 3.1 on the top of my car. Don’t know the “official” way to measure but I’m pretty pumped. Light snow all in all but wonderful after this two year stretch.

    You guys rocked this one, congrats guys! Enjoy!

    Just measured, like 2.2 inches. Just ticked up to 30 degrees from 29 but I've been very, very lightly raining since I woke up... Figure 2.3-2.5 before the changeover?
  9. Volcanic Winter
    I'm right there with you, though.

    I'm still at 29, though I'm along the Manchester border. Definitely 2-3 inches.

    Surpassed my expectations already.

    The accompanying app for the Weatherflow Tempest station.

    First flakes sticking to surfaces.

    I was supposed to get a decent amount from the ACY storm Jan 2-3 ‘22. Right up until go time I was modeled for a few solid inches and I got nothing but virga. Granted the dry air was super aggressive to our north I recall, but yeah the models didn’t really depict it well wrt snow totals along a tight gradient. IIRC I was within the northern extent of the banding almost the whole time but it just wasn’t reaching the ground.

    Gah, right on the line of 1-2 and 2-5. That’s okay I only ever expected 1-2 and I really hope I at least see that!

    Literal white sand coming down in western TR / Manchester border @ 27 degrees. Let’s go!

    Iceland’s Hekla was historically known as the “Gateway to Hell” as well. Frequent violent eruptions throughout Iceland’s settlement era, at times sending ash into Europe. Often Hekla erupts with little warning, even to modern seismic instruments.

    Three homes were destroyed in Grindavik after a small fissure opened inside the town border and flowed into the first row of homes. Pretty surreal image: The good news is that, similar to the last event, activity is waning 24-48 hours after the start time. The bad news is that Grindavik will have to deal with this for the foreseeable future, as repeated dike intrusions with some leading to eruptions will be the pattern going forward. The only similar event in recent history was the Krafla fires in North Iceland in the 70’s / 80’s, where the magma output increased substantially over time. Krafla is a large central volcano with a magma chamber whereas most of the Reykjanes systems are sort of monogenic fields where there is no central storage and magma is sourced from the deep mantle directly. However, we know a large sill formed around the Grindavik area which has fed the two recent eruptions here, and that sill is sort of acting as a quasi magma chamber. Can’t overstate how significant this is in real time, as the area hasn’t erupted in 800-1000 years. As the whole of the Reykjanes volcanic systems begin to awaken rolling forward, the most densely populated region of Iceland will have to contend with some pretty significant hazards over the coming decades.

    Yup, the Year Without a Summer was noted for its constant storms and precipitation throughout the year. A fun anecdote surrounding Tambora was that the constant storminess in the aftermath heavily inspired Mary Shelley to conceive and write Frankenstein.

    The early 90’s were “perturbed” synoptically by Pinatubo, as you guys know. I think it had a hand in some of the more anomalous events then, including the March 93 triple phaser. I do know that regionally the northeast wasn’t especially cold after Pinatubo, but the globe was. And from what I’ve read the northeast regional weather was influenced heavily by the ENSO state which may have masked the more noticeable effects experienced elsewhere. Imagine a similar traditionally gassy large eruption occurring before the 2015-16 super Niño.

    Dude, I’m happy. Seriously, hopefully getting 1-2 today and with these temps might actually keep it around, then a refresher on Friday? Sign me up. It’s needed. Still have time to reel in a bigger storm, but I’m fine with what’s actually in front of us. Beats another deluge cutter of doom.

    I’m not even at my average low for the date. It’s crazy to me how we get Jedi mind tricked into thinking this is cold when it really isn’t, historically. It’s cold in a warm winter, and the highs are BN sure. But I’m assuming it’s the humidity increase overall that’s keeping lows pegged way higher than normal? Also I know we’ll have some solidly BN highs and lows later in the week, just talking about now.

    Wow, 76 on the season in Toms River? That’s very respectable. I lived up in North Brunswick then, moved down this way early 2012.
  25. Volcanic Winter
    I do. But admittedly I’m also kind of a psycho lol.
