  1. I’m rooting for my weather app!
  2. So agree. Retrograding blocks are a big wildcard and difficult for LR/MR models to get a good handle on. I think the possibilities for next Tuesday are pretty much wide open at this point. Would not expect a hint of clarity until 12Z Saturday cycle - maybe even 00Z Sunday.
  3. 3.41" - Pump ran and did its job. Did not lose power so generator did not kick in to save the day. Pump does not run frequently here. Except for Ida rains it rarely ran in the 5 years prior. Lately has been running much more frequently.
  4. Well inland here and the trees are swaying noticeably at times. Occasional gusts to 25 mph I am estimating. I have elevation and am wide open from to the SE through the NW. Thankfully no trees within falling distance to the house, builder pretty much cleared to the woods line.
  5. Ideally a nicely timed phasing of a moist southern branch feature and northern stream s/w. Am I asking too much ?!
  6. Very concerning for those in NNJ who are affected by river flooding. Street and highway (urban flooding) is one thing but when a river overflows into your house that is something else. Feel bad for those affected. Stress level must be through the roof. Me personally if I went through it once I'd be out of there.
  7. For those still looking for cold air on our side of the pole currently Yellowknife is sitting at -40F and -47 at Fort Good Hope. The cold is coming to the western and central U.S. and down to the gulf coast in a big way. Direct and fast discharge S.S.E. It will eventually seep / ooze east but the western and central states from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico are going into the deep freeze with record breaking cold. Hope the power grids are ready. Especially the wind turbines in Texas. They didn't do so well last time this happened. Temperature departures of -50 to -70 looking more likely over the Northern Rockies and Northern Plains. Bitter cold day for Iowa Caucus. Below zero!
  8. Snow pack in my area. Currently 4.5" - 5" of snow pack remains at my house. Can't speak for areas to my north and west but the snow pack here is heavily crusted over. It almost supports my weight (160#) when I walk over it, I only make minor indentations. My point being I'm not sure how much rainfall it will absorb at least initially. Going to be a good deal of runoff as the heavy rains get underway. Again, not sure what the condition of the 6-12" snow pack is to my NW. Just thought it was worth a mention.
  9. Final (more or less as light snow still ongoing off and on) Snowfall = 6". Depth at 8am = 5.5". Will update melted total shortly. Went to rain at 8:15 last evening with 3.8". Went back to snow and at 3am was 6". Settled and compacted to 5.5" at 8am obs. time. Very heavy and wet snow pack.
  10. Moderate rain here, mixed with some sleet. Change over about 8:15. Measured 3.80” at 8:15 when I heard sleet mixing in. Currently all rain and 32 degrees. We’ll see if I can pickup a bit more snow tomorrow morning. Not expecting much though.
  11. Per friend in Pittstown, NJ Hunterdon County. Snow/sleet mix as of 15 min ago. 1" on the ground. Currently light to occasional moderate snow here. 27.7 degrees. It looks just shy of an inch. Will measure at 6pm.
  12. Model support growing for major Arctic dump of cold air into the western 1/3 of the U.S. and then oozing east. Tremendous surface high pressure (1050-1055 mb) forecast to build over northern and western Canada to aid and abet the Arctic plunge. Temperature departures could reach 50-60 below normal over parts of MT/WY. Worth watching as it looks like a dynamic pattern is setting up. We'll see if any southern branch s/w can phase with northern branch s/w to really make things interesting. Southern branch looks to stay active and juiced so MAYBE things will work out for something really noteworthy next 10-14 days.
