mikemost Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Is it just me, or are there cancel posts before every storm? EVERY. DAMN. TIME. Everyone just needs to be patient and let the storm play out. It's not just you. Though I think with the dynamics at play with such a powerful storm, most people here know the gradient of precip will be very tight & if you don't get into the deform bands, it's subsidence. So the stakes are high. With that being said, I think the radar is looking promising, and the banding should continue to progress west. I especially like the returns that started showing up over Bergen/Passaic counties in the last 45 minutes. It's blooming fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersGrasp Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 This is still a big snowstorm for NYC and LI! The NAM busting busting is not to say that no snow is coming for our areas. We can see it clearly is with bands of snow rolling in. Should see 6-12" accumulations from jersey east to western LI (lower numbers jersey, higher LI). As long as we move forward without the thinking "maybe we will really get 30 inches after all".....we have a significant storm upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, this is still a historic event for millions of people. But I'm in Hunterdon County and that Mount Holly snow map, I can't fathom how it could be anything less than a big disappointment. Oh well, that's weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will - Rutgers Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 With heavy snow already occurring in SNE and with a lot of time left to go in the event for them, and what seems like a very favorable forecast, I think they are going to see some absolutely bonkers totals.

Jason215 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Things may still be looking good for your area. Most of LI seems to be in the game. Ok you have a point, Jersey was always vulnerable to get shafted being on the edge with this storm. And many mets have stated a sharp western cutoff of the precip field. I hope it's a "delayed not denied deal" for you and you get your 20". Also, the forecast for the heavy stuff (2-4 inches per hr deal) was scheduled to commence at midnight. It's only 9:30pm. Are we really behind schedule? -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anemone Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Want to know how I know this is still going to be big for NYC? It's because I'm drinking as if work is cancelled tomorrow. On the other hand, I might need a note from the NWS explaining my absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my fellow jerseyites that seem the most skittish. That and I could not get my generator working. And my car window got stuck in the open position this morning while rushing to work. Put me in a foul mood for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason215 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Just took at look at the radar. I appears (To my utterly untrained eye) that E-LI is being engulfed by the higher returns. And the last few frames reveal a rapid westward advancement. My Riverhead, Orient and South Fork brethren should be getting nailed right about now. -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have you pick my lottery numbers. , lol. 1)If you're not on the coast you shouldn't need a generator for this one. 2)Get plastic to cover your window. 3) enjoy the snow! -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpruf Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Guys what about the nowcast posts from LC saying it's a lock for NYC and LI and Forky said it's slower than progged indicative of a quicker capture. Not to mention Roger Smith threw out numbers of 20-40. Perhaps I missed a few paged of posts. But if I was already observed that it's further west and stalling sooner, how can we miss? Knowledgable posters please advise. Thanks, -Jason PS: where is Mike Hobbyist? We need to counteract the negative nervous nellies, lol Cioffi is getting ready to throw in the towel on NJ according to the other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherweather Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Just imagine if NYC still manages to pull off a 20-24 inch storm.

mikemost Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ok folks... Who needs a laugh after the turn of events this evening? NJ/NW NYS people... I'm looking at you. Not ashamed to say that I dabble in the online dating world on occasion. I gotta say, when I got this e-mail, I didn't know what to think, The interwebz outdoes itself sometimes (This is actually "loosely" storm related, btw) - Sorry if it comes up out of order, you get the idea...

mikemost Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Still some blowing snow with reduced visibility Again, I would like to see someone in NJ get more than six inches from this. Light snow continues out at KMMU. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to the postmortem at this point. With any luck, we can get yourself & some of the more knowledgeable members on this board to break down what happened. I'd imagine that there are many lessons to be learned.

WaPo Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I can't talk about weather to anyone for at least five years. It doesn't matter that the storm was just a tick east and slamming Central LI. It was a bust to the media, arts, and financial center of the world. Goddammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
