gravitylover Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Precip started as sleet here but changed to snow pellets about 15 minutes later. Wind appears to be from the ENE. The temp had held steady all day at 30/31 but popped to 34 a few minutes before precip started, back to 32 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Final nail in the coffin for this storm for the 95 corridor. NWS downgraded snowfall accumulations even further with a Blutarsky-esque 0.0" of snow for the 95 corridor from Philly to almost NYC. The odd thing is it certainly looks like we might get up to an inch along the 95 corridor, just looking at the radar trends. I know many of us joked about the Friday event being more than today/tomorrow - well it's looking like my 0.75" will likely be more. All that tracking for this, wow. Oh well. Good luck to all of you in the advisory/warning areas - hope this overperforms for all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can you do, you know? . We in the NYC/Metro area have had a number of years in a row of above normal snow, and being the 'bullseye' of many a storm that those north and west lost out on. Eventually the odds would have to catch up and let them be the jackpot area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundled up and sat on the metal milk box waiting for the clouds to move in and the first flakes to fall. Life was simpler...no internet, you had to rely on the evening news, Accuweather discussions at 35 min after the hour, a Radio Shack weather cube and the power of observation to try and figure out what was happening. I'll bet 75% of the people on this board don't know what a milk box was used for. Thanks for the memory! LOL. Used to know if the wind backed around from a certain direction in front of my house if it would stay snow or flip. Life was simple and I had a detachable radio shack red bike radio that attached to the handle and a little transistor weather radio where an actual meteorologist on KWO35 would update the loop at 11am, 5pm etc and I would anxiously listen to the same damn loop sometimes for a half hour until they updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best memory was they had a short time where they took questions from listeners and answered them on the radio. I sent in a letter asking why lines of thunderstorms coming out of the Poconos often split in 2 crossing NJ only to consolidate again into 1 line over LI. A week later they said my name on the radio and answered my question. I felt special... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabehippie Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 1 hour ago, West Mtn NY said: I am going on 55 yrs old and I can not ever remember a storm with arctic, low dew air banked just to our NW, N and over NNE, where a storm angling up from the SW came across PA - NNJ and rode across LI. Until this shows me it can happen, I will continue to call BS. The NW side has been eroding slowly SE the past few hours instead of blossoming out like a storm with a northerly track would feature. I will gladly eat humble pie tomorrow if this does not correct South. Not being a weenie. Just going by what I have seen happen all my life since I sat on a metal milk box on my front stoop in Brooklyn in the 1970s watching cirrus and wind direction to predict the weather days in advance at the tender age of 10. Do you want any toppings on that humble pie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL too funny. I remember once I put an old screen over the box to "store" my collected grasshoppers. Won't go off topic anymore but I'd forgotten about that memory as well. Back in the day, that is what kids did. Came home from school, changed into play clothes and went outside and did stuff. In the summer you went out after dinner played with your friends and came home when the street lights came on. Technology is a great thing but I'm glad I was a kid in the mid 60's - mid 70's....kids today miss out on alot. Smart phones, ipads and play dates just are not the same. Won't go off topic anymore....after much time and energy expended this week it feels like one of those busted events from when I was a kid when a Winter Storm Warning would be downgraded to a Travelers Advisory....slammed a few weather radios up in my day.

NJwx85 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Getting progressively more worried as time goes on about a big time icing event. At what point do they drop the Winter Storm Warning for an Ice Storm Warning? Haven’t seen that locally since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk I'm out of it even with that map, but I gotta wonder, why the difficulty with this forecast? A few days back NWS stated for my area this would be mainly rain. Then some other guidance came in looking more frozen, but I was always on the fringe ( I usually am, whether it is to the north or south ).
