Rise of the Machines: January 18-19 Winter Storm Obs Thread

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Just shoveled very thick snow. 1.8” today 3.2” yesterday. Round 3 should be a bit more powdery.. 8-10” looking likely on MLK weekend not too shabby

Especially 8-9 days ago it looked like there was nothing in the pipeline but dry. Nice turn around from that idea. Not too shabby at all.

Nice. You have the same snow measurement?

Somewhat concerned about radar presentation for later. We also need temps to drop

1.5" down here in westchester snow lightened up considerably but back to moderate snow. Radar looks good in nnj. Second round wasn't supposed to get going until 2/3 pm. I know these coastal like to bring bands farther west than modeled. Looks promising rest of today 

[weathafella]

So far for the weekend I have 1/2”.

[binbisso]

3.5" 2 day total. 14.5" ytd

It’s gonna look mostly like crap for a while if guidance is correct. It will start to look better to our south and southwest around mid afternoon….youll see precip start to blossom and expand over NJ and south of LI. 

[binbisso]

I should note i have no echoes over me with steady snow falling atm

Sort of happening now.

We have maybe 1" here, 34 degrees with some rain mixed in with the flakes that are currently falling.

Thanks for the motivation

Funny looks much better than I imagined it would for this time, the lull was well forecasted , it will pick back up in the next few hours and spread NE as we watch a playoff snow game . 

[VivaManchVegas]

Here we go... 

[ROOSTA]

Going to be fun watching the game in Foxboro later.  Living vicariously. 

Frontal passage here, already took a power flicker. Arctic temperaturs and high wind warnings abound. Generator is definitely needed.

GO PATS!

What’s the temp down there Roosta? 

[codfishsnowman]

Yikes!!! On Pt 1....Fog. Haze and snow flurries with putrid growth. Can't even call it a dusting with a good conscience. Thank goodness for yesterday but was really looking forward to an inch or two of slowly accumulating mood snow during daylight hours.

Have a great time.  Last game i went to was the Denver playoff game when Tim Tebow came to town  That was a laugher.  The couch is just too easy.

58F, dropping rapidly. Mid 70's just a few miles S.

Sprinkles, winds gusting 25-30mph.
