I have a Squall Warning up here but it appears to be wearing on radar but it’s also in that zone where none of the radars are really good at picking things up IMO. I’ll know soon enough. 

It was just a period of light snow, no accumulation

No thread from myself until at least 830AM for short fuse snow squall gust 40-45KT even 11A-2P Pics and NNJ and 1P-3P NYC-CT.   Slightly less modeling support than yesterday though I think it will happen. 

No thread on Friday til at least tomorrow afternoon... a little concerned the ensembles les are favoring I84 for decent snow. 

I'm sure you saw this as well, a number of mPING reports out in western PA of limited visibility in squalls along with accumulating snow so it'll be interesting to track this morning. I do see though what you are saying about a little less support on the models for around here though.

What happened on 9/12/60? I thought December 1992 was first until Sandy superseded it.

 

Just Google it…

I was debating going to that one too.  Should prob bring the wife (BxEngine) with me since it's FSU.  

If all goes to plan, a bunch of my family will be out there and we will be having a tailgate. You can come, @BxEnginewill need to pay a cover charge.

Feet are always the worst.  Giants/Green Bay playoff game in GB , Jets/Steelers snowstorm changing to 33 and rain game and Islanders/Rangers at Yankee Stadium were the 3 most uncomfortably cold experiences of my life. 

I went to a couple Army Navy games at Giants Stadium back the day that were damn cold. One of the roughest was Rutgers at Army back when I had season tickets, Ray Rice was at Rutgers. Huge crowd but it was rain that changed to snow, cold to the bone, wet and then freezing. Planning on heading out to South Bend for the FSU game next November, hopefully it won’t be too bad.

Meanwhile going to be -5 at kickoff

I heard yesterday that they are allowing people to bring in cardboard. According to Tiki Barber yesterday it keeps your feet warmer if you put the cardboard under your feet. Never heard that before but makes perfect sense. In 2022 we were at the Boston College/Notre Dame game that had the snow squall roll through, awesome experience but our feet were the coldest part, would’ve loved to have some cardboard that day.

I mean, if you reflect on that, Holy Shit!

It’s a lovely spring morning out there, 54 here.

I believe each tool as a purpose, a phone is for making phone calls, a camera is for taking pictures, a computer is for..... computing lol, a television is for watching television.

This isn't old fashioned, it's called specialization.  I can't tell you how many idiots I know who have no idea how to hold a camera because they hold a phone vertically.  These are people of average intelligence (boring) with below average knowledge.  If they had more specialized tools they'd actually learn how to use things and develop real skills.

I still do math in my head (don't need electronic devices), and another reason I'm glad I grew up before cell phones is because cell phones have been proven to cause brain developmental issues... I fear we're going to have a whole generation of kids who will grow up not knowing how to think properly-- we already have people whose faces are glued to their phone as they walk (or even worse, drive.)  I made a conscious decision to get rid of my cellphone and all credit cards, because I don't want to be a slave to this modern addiction.

One of my sons was the best man at his buddy’s wedding. The rehearsal dinner happened to be on a Saturday…in October. He had The Irish streaming in his phone…and the groom kept asking for updates.

Yeah but people do watch Cable TV.  I would rather the game was on ESPN.  No one wants to watch these games on their phone or computer.

We escaped unscathed this time. I love the differences in how the storms acted over such small distances because of things like the previous snow and such. What makes this hobby so interesting even when we arent getting the snow we want lol

As much as this pains me to admit, I agree with you. The winds weren't terrible but a little higher and more steady than then other night. We've said it before, there are people on here that find weather interesting, like it's microclimates and "fake cold" for example and there are others here that just like blizzards.

Folks focused on the potential for storms, understandably so, but don't be surprised by some potential snow squalls Sunday morning/early afternoon as the cold air moves in. 

Walt went into the details on this squall threat tomorrow in the January thread this morning for anyone interested. Had stronger gusts here this morning than all of earlier in the week, at least part of the reason for that is due to the lost inversion with the snow now gone around here.

My pack just rotted away yesterday and overnight. Another night above freezing, low was 8-10 degrees above the forecast. 0" at the stake. 

FWIW, the HRRR did a decent job IMO, at least in my neck of the woods, with the winds.  It consistently showed that the windier part of the storm would be this afternoon around here.

Interesting.. I was just on the road and everything seemed to be operating as normal. Only thing I can think of is teachers who live in effected areas may be having trouble coming in 

Yeah I think all of them are cleared now, I see the Thruway southbound from Newburgh to Harriman is open again.  Just quickly scrolling through the text messages: 208, 302, Route 6, 284, 9W, 17 all had issues overnight into early this morning. Below is the gage near the hospital in Middletown, its about a foot below what it reached right before Christmas, which was the highest in a while there. Not sure it that will be topped later today or not:

So the kids have a 2 hr delay from some rain in january lol.. Gotta love it. Snowpack is still quite healthy here

Temp 41°

I've received well over 20 texts now from 511/NYSDOT for various road closures due to flooding and/or debris, most are cleared now, but the delays have to be tied to that although I agree it does seem to be a bit overly cautious.

Pressure peaked at 1030.8mb overnight yesterday and bottomed out at 981.4mb overnight today. Nearly a 50mb difference.

3.55 event total, rainfall rates peaked at just under 5” per hour in the squall line, in the dead of winter. Our climate is really living up to my username this decade.

I peaked at 1030.6mb and bottomed out at 980.6mb, making for exactly a 50mb difference.

High of 52 at 2:18am, down to 42 now, after .5” of snow to start yesterday wound up with a 1.95” liquid total. Impressed I still have snow cover, although thin under the trees now, 4” at the stake. Will be monitoring the Wallkill in Middletown. 

That snow at the start messed up the tipper, 2.22" in the Status for the total. 

High of 52 at 2:18am, down to 42 now, after .5” of snow to start yesterday wound up with a 1.95” through the tipper but 2.22" in the Status for the liquid total. Impressed I still have snow cover, although thin under the trees now, 4” at the stake. Highest wind gust was 18mph here but I think there will be more wind around here this afternoon than there was last night. Will be monitoring the Wallkill in Middletown all day.
