NEG NAO Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 snow has changed to sleet/rain here 5 miles west of SI in NJ - 0.7 so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Port Jeff, LINY. What I don't get is, 2009-10 was a worldwide scorcher, a strong El Niño, and yet MA to NE (at least NYc metro) is clobbered. This year? A dominating -AO, for most part -NAO, and yet---crap results thus far. Why? Dr Judah Cohen was right about dominant -AO; rest of pattern has just been garbage. I guess ENSO neutral regimes really can't be depended upon... I took a drive up to the highest point in Port Jeff (elevation 276 feet) and some wet snowflakes were mixed in...but nothing special.

famartin Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Rain/snow line appears to have reached maximum NW extent in far W NJ and SE PA. Watch for it to start retreating back there now. Still advancing into NE NJ and NYC though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosh Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Kissing the Rain/Snow line right now. flurries with some raindrops and sleet pellets mixed in. temp is down to 31.4 and we have a steady light wind around 5mph out of the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still advancing into NE NJ and NYC though. Yup. Snow is really light now and I think a change to rain is very near. What a hideous December.

Still advancing into NE NJ and NYC though. yup, looks that way, im thinking the changover back is probably now for 1-2 hours now, but this is a tough storm to call, 10-15 miles and very different conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersWx92 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Still all snow here, that rain/snow line got so close to me but I never saw any rain or sleet, though the snow did take on a more icy texture when I was outside a few minutes ago. Starting to pick up again, flakes getting bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think we won't get much after this. Look at the vis satellite.

Storm At Sea Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Climatologically speaking, I-287 is normally where the rain/snow line ends up during these events. Still all snow here, that rain/snow line got so close to me but I never saw any rain, though the snow did take on a more icy texture when I was outside a few minutes ago. Starting to pick up again.

jm1220 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 That's when things will get interesting . It'll also be when the storm's just about over for us and New England starts getting slammed.

Superstorm93 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Been moderate snow for most of the storm so far. About 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm At Sea Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Exactly. From what I always remembered since my youth (1980's) a moderate clip of snow followed by sleet and eventually drizzle was quite the norm. If you get 3-4 events per year of 2-4 inches with mix on the end, you eventually get to your average of 25-27 inches per year. The problem is that with the exception of last yr the last decade spoiled most.. This was a typical event back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
