    AW is also going with a broad 1-3 inches away from the immediate NJ coast. Their write up has plenty of (reasonable) caveats for an upside, however.

    Drought map -- CA, no drought in the state I thought northern FL got a soaking rain this week from that southern storm. Part of north Jersey? You guys up there seeing this? Part of Northern Arkansas, wow.

    NWS for central NJ (Mt. Holly) through the Five Boroughs (Upton) is going with a middle ground, 1-2 or 1-3 inches, forecast.

    How about deleting them to avoid confusion?

    "1993: Intense snows caused by a "norlun" instability trough hit parts of Massachusetts. Chatham, MA picked up 20 inches of snow. For 3 hours, the snow fell at a rate of 4 inches per hour. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)" Now, THIS was some norlun.

    Related to what's called geophagia, the eating of earth, usually clays. Some think that this phenomenon is due to a deep instinct to consume minerals and to adsorb toxins in the gut. I recall that it's most common with women.

    Yeah, @weatherpruf has a point about this period of winter.

    www.weather.gov/media/okx/Climate/CentralPark/BiggestSnowstorms.pdf In the period of late February.

    Hmmm. Fwiw, on the 12"+ snowstorm list for CPK (28 total), only one is in late February, February 25-26, 2010.

    Thanks Don. Sorry, I didn't catch that point. I recall very cold, light, fluffy snowfalls that season; they did last, though.
  12. Freezing Drizzle
    Good summary of that period. February 1995 did have that one-footer for most of our region; I guess you alluded to that one.

    Hi Don, I'm surprised to see that 1976-1977 winter is not on this list. Perhaps there was a warm spell(s) that increased the mean average for the period? FD

    One purpose of this thread is to de-clutter the general February thread.

    Thanks for posting the snow map for PD I, February of 1979. A bit of a "forgotten" storm from that era of scarce, big storms.
  16. Freezing Drizzle
    No, Don.

    Average of five snowboards - 1.1". Low of 32 F. Pavement accumulations were 3/4 inch on the north side of my house (sun does not shine on the pavement there in the winter), to Trace/Bare on the south side. I'm almost always warmer than Metuchen. I'm in a micro-climate near the Raritan Bay. Colder here during spring BDCFs, though. lol ps - The pond on the south end of town? If so, we almost bought a house near this pond 25 years ago, but the asking price was too high.

    Something odd with the NWS radar. Snowing very hard now, under 10 dBZ echoes?
  19. Freezing Drizzle
    Enjoy, Metsy.
  20. Freezing Drizzle
    Now we're cooking with gas. Coming down at 1/2 inch per hour+ rate. Starting to stick on typical favored surfaces.
  21. Freezing Drizzle
    Those strong echoes in far south Jersey look like they've hit a wall. Not budging northward.
  22. Freezing Drizzle
    Snowfall intensity has picked up nicely to a moderate rate, even though the heaviest echoes have passed. Reaching saturation? Down to 34 F.
  23. Freezing Drizzle
    You are not alone. lol Over the years, I've noticed many quirky sticking patterns too. One is sticking in the expansion joints of sidewalks, but not on the sidewalk surface itself. Freezing rain glazes over cars more than on wood surfaces. Of course, sticking on grass before anything else. Sticking on rough pavement surfaces before smooth pavement.
  24. Freezing Drizzle
    Don't get too excited, I'm under it and it's very light...at least for now.
  25. Freezing Drizzle
    In this huge system, look where it's snowing. Lucky us. lol Raining out in Williamsport and State College, PA.
