Hey! Stop by sometimes! Especially with us during storms specific to the tidewater. The southern forum is great, but no one there cares about our area. Would be awesome to have you posting here again.
Since we lost Fridays 6z Nam nuke this was going to be a non event. Can’t expect accumulations with temps 34-35 degrees and above freezing ground. Nonetheless was a decent one to track.

It’s going to come done to rates and banding. You’ll want to see silver dollar parachutes dumping. Then it’s just pile on city. Obviously soil temps are bad and we are hoping to be 32-33 degrees when it’s puking. But the chance for busting is high - moderate rates/34 F.
Hoping for some surprising outcomes.
Looking forward to seeing the storm totals up there. Will be impressive.
nexrad is one of my favorite radars. It’s dumping on southern NJ.
