ag3 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The radar does look like its losing a little steam...echoes are definitely weakening around the area, from S NJ through E LI The band sitting over us will likely just sit in the same areas for a few more hours and rot out. That's what the 18z rgem and GFS do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The radar does look like its losing a little steam...echoes are definitely weakening around the area, from S NJ through E LI Two reasons: 1) Now that the temperatures have gotten a lot colder, there is a lot less bright banding (enhanced DBZ from snow melting aloft and/or sleet), so the radar takes on more of a "snow" look. 2) The storm is not strengthening anymore. It's becoming vertically stacked. So the dynamics are beginning to wane. That being said, though, some pretty good bands will persist into the overnight.

blizzardof09 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 the way it looks right now from western suffolk to western nassau getting to 2-3" at this rate should not be a problem. like earthlight said earlier, i as well did not in my wildest dreams think we'd experience this kind of snow from this storm. astounded is the proper word to use right now folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any snow in early November is icing...lets hope we dont shoot the wad like we did last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefflaw77 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 What's going on here in Central Nassau is nothing short of ridiculous for November 7.. It looks like January 10th outside. EVERYTHING is covered- we have 2-3" probably and the roads are HORRIBLE.. We could easily reach 6" here.. Unreal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 That band better pivot east a little bit otherwise I'm going to be eating subsidence for the next six hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The radar does look like its losing a little steam...echoes are definitely weakening around the area, from S NJ through E LI The band should stay heavy even as the low begins to occlude, since dynamics are still ongoing but in narrower areas. For NYC/W LI, the banding could not have set up in a better place as it should mostly pivot around this area. I wouldn't be shocked to see 5-6" reports in this area if people are already pushing 3". Amazing to see on Nov 7th. I can't imagine how bad roads are, and since this was unforecasted, there will likely be many traffic accidents.

SnowGoose69 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Trace at NYC's Central Park through 4:38 pm. You beat me to it. It seems to me they sometimes do not measure prior to that preliminary climo report because I think we had close to 0.5 by the time it was 435 or so.

earthlight Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 There is a bit of subsidence between them but two distinct bands now , one over NYC/LGA extending down the NJ Shore and another over NE NJ (Essex/Union) extending S SW towards Central NJ. Some great snow rates in those bands and it should really be sticking now with the loss of diurnal heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSUVball09 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Amazing out here for November 7th. Easily 2-3" on the ground. Normal 20 minute commute took an hour and 20 mins from Glen Cove to Great Neck. Would have been much longer if I didnt take back roads to avoid the 25A which is now a parking lot. I even left early at 4:00. Cant imagine how bad traffic will be around the island this evening. Just heard the first large limb break out back.
