Euro Op doubles down...holy smokes! Thats worst case scenario for S NJ right there with the prolonged onshore flow, full moon, and system retrograding to the West. 

That’s awful

We got to Ocean City in August and they just finished up a beach replenishment project-wonder how much of it they lose this weekend?

It’s already bad there.  Saw a story last night and already showed scouring on the beach.

Someone want to start a storm thread?  

Anyone know why the huge amount of ground clutter at Ft Dix/McGuire the past few days?  Looks like what you see around a wind farm.

Possible noob question: what's causing the stationary false returns at KDIX? Looks like the geographic locations correspond to Center City buildings and the Roxborough antenna farm but why now and not all the time? Additional radar cross section from adhering snow?

Radio towers by Conshy and buildings downtown

One of the largest deform bands I can possibly remember

anyone gonna shovel / clear things out tonight, or will you just wait until tomorrow for one big cleanup?

May run the ATV plow before calling it a night later.  Too wet I think to wait till tomorrow

both are at 500mb

Sorry meant the vorticity map.  Those maxes are far better at predicting where the energy is going.

They tell pretty much the same story though, no?

The 500mb shows the vort maxes farrrrrr better.

EPS a little more SE than we'd like this turn.

Yeah, but it is a pretty massive spread.  Plenty of time.

EDIT - in fact the spread is actually wider earlier on at 138hr as opposed to 144 which tells me they are having a hard time handling the upper level steering that has been showing it tuck back into the coast at that timeframe.

5 days out from yesterday's storm we were all thinking either suppressed south or low impact all snow......

Just now, MickeyTim6533 said:

not really.......Not lots of time for the things that happen early on to change though. The storm may be 5 days out, but what happens day 1-3 matters a ton in how the storm plays out

I've doing this for years.  Believe me, there is plenty of time.  GFS had this storm as a bomb of Friday, lost it till early runs today.  There is plenty of time.
