February 4th-6th Storm Threat Discussion

[viking70]

Your fears are mine as well.... We could be in major trouble if the NAM is right. Let's hope more of that is snow.

I hope that the GFS which has shown more snow and less ice is correct.  28 degrees here now and temps are holding now that the clouds have moved in.  Dew Point 19.8.  

[Zir0b]

HRRR has trended warmer with bring the CF to Newark by tomorrow morning. 

What time in the morning? Think the morning commute might be salvaged if it keeps trending warmer? 

[NJWeather201]

Wow, the snow is coming in like a brick wall! Current temp of 30F here in NE NJ with a DP of 25.

 

Since the snow is coming in so solidly, temps should drop to around the DP once snow begins to fall. If winds stay favorable , I don't see all of NNJ getting out of the high 20s.

 

Not to alarm anyone , but this has devastation written all over it. Theres still loads of snow here weighing down trees and powerlines already....

[NJWeather201]

The snow still on the trees with added ice will make this our tree annihilator for the year

This.

[jm1220]

we're right in line with the 00z nam which shows steady temps a few degrees below freezing through the event

warmest hour:

I meant more for further east, you guys west of NYC are likely in for a nasty ice event.

 

My "gut" says I wake up tomorrow morning to an inch or two of additional slop and it be raining at 34 degrees, but honestly it could be doing just about anything by 6-7am where I am.

HRRR has trended warmer with bring the CF to Newark by tomorrow morning. 

The heaviest precip falls frozen until 14z, but precip is lighter when switchover occurs, the damage has been done verbatim

It's 1.33" to be exact.

Yeah, it's quite warm here already at 31. RH is 85%, don't see much room to wet bulb.

That doesn't mean 1.3" of ice accretion though. Verbatim a lot of that would runoff at 31 degrees. More could actually accrete when the rain lets up.

[hazwoper]

Yanks outside area, but can u show KDYL?

If half of that didn't accrete you would still be screwed.

Has to be at least a moderate sized station. That one doesn't work.

Snow/Sleet mix in Abington (sw of Trenton) I think we see some snow here.

by the way, this weather station reports live right by my house temperature at 29 degrees. How come my avatar weather temp reads 32? Where does it get its weather info from?

[IsentropicLift]

Every report from the Philly forum is freezing rain. Not one sighting of snow. The writing has been on the wall all day. Time to drop the WSW and put up Ice Storm Warnings.

Not to be IMBY-esque but jeez, anywhere west of NYC in NNJ could SERIOUSLY be in for something historic if what these models have seemingly consensed towards. Really interested to see whether Ice Storm Warnings are hoisted once things get going.

 

Im at 30.1 and dropping. DP of 25, I say this area hovers between 27-29 F . We shall see..

Allentown is at our latitude that will tell us what goes through nyc
