Pitmaster Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Interesting updated forecast discussion - ALL WARNINGS REMAIN UP IN PLACE...WITH SNOWFALL TOTALS STILL 8 TO 12 INCHES AT THE COAST....AND 4 TO 8 INCHES INLAND. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS UP FOR ORANGE AND PUTNAM COUNTIES WITH AVERAGE AMOUNTS FORECAST TO BE JUST SHY OF THE 6 INCH CRITERIA. THIS AREA RESIDES JUST NW OF THE BANDED SNOW AND MAY GET IMPACTED FOR A SHORT TIME WITH HEAVIER SNOW RATES EARLY THIS EVENING. FORECAST UNCERTAINTY RESIDES IN HOW LONG THE HEAVY SNOW BAND REMAINS IN PLACE THIS EVENING AND ITS PRECISE LACTATION. THIS COULD RESULT IN SEVERAL INCHES OF VARIABILITY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I just shoveled, could have done it with a broom! There's about 4" of pure fluff and its coming down at a good clip but he flakes are tiny so it's not adding up as quickly as the visibility would suggest.

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think noaa is way off with that mesoscale band map I think all the decent precip will stay from Rockland south but at least it's white and cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudsonvalley21 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think noaa is way off with that mesoscale band map I think all the decent precip will stay from Rockland south but at least it's white and cold You have to keep an eye on the precip out in the Lehigh valley area of Pa. There appears a bit of back-filling moving n/e. That might give us some. The humidity obs at KSWF went up from the last obs. That is a positive thing up this way. http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?zoommode=pan&prevzoom=zoom&num=6&frame=0&delay=15&scale=1.000&noclutter=0&ID=DIX&type=N0R&showstorms=0&lat=0&lon=0&label=you&map.x=400&map.y=240&scale=1.000¢erx=400¢ery=240&showlabels=1&rainsnow=0&lightning=0&lerror=20&num_stns_min=2&num_stns_max=9999&avg_off=9999&smooth=0&MR=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me especially the way it was modeled is that precip will slide south of us once the pivot is complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Looks like I'm right at the edge of the heavy stuff but at about 5" now. Still windy and tiny fractured flakes. I'll take it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Visibility is down to about 500 feet, maybe a touch more. Wind is hard out of the NE and its 6*. Flakes are starting to get bigger but there's still a fair percentage of wind fractured small ones. Gonna give it another hour then head out to shovel and measure again.
