not down here, I'd imagine so the further north you go.  However, White Plains was 10/-7 at 5am and by 6am moderate snow.. Already 1"+ reports in North Jersey

Radar nudity

Hope everyone gets buried.

It's killing me I'm not home. Enjoy it, get outside. Get off the screen.

If that’s radar nudity, what is it called when you zoom out further and realize that plume of moisture goes back to Houston. 

[w1pf]

5/-6 at the Holyoke place.

Watching this from the FL place, and that's really quite OK. 

I had my fun as a kid.

ya hard to tell exactly where it is based on obs and CC, it should be a few hours ahead as the accumulating snow is about 2-3 hours ahead up here..

I have some caution flags, but it’s a lot of joy in here so whatev. But we’re relying on big ratios and big QPF over a relatively short amount of time in a SWFE…albeit one on roids. It can happen , but there’s not a lot of room for error. 
 

I’m hopeful but clear eyed up here. Very excited for the forum to at least get a region wide big dog. It’s been way too long. 
 

-11.7/-16 here at WXW2

7.8/-6 at WXW1

[The 4 Seasons]

TEB moderate snow

[dendrite]

DOX is picking up the high level warmth better

[Sey-Mour Snow]

@ORH_wxman how big is the scope of the 10"+ compared to some of the other big ones? An area from Texas to Maine 300-600 miles wide seems insanse.

Whack a mole for snow. Now everyone gets obliterated simultaneously. These are the most fun.

mPing weenie obs will show you where it’s starting to reach the ground.

If this isn't a KU, i don't know what is. Wild looking storm snowing right now from Texas to NJ.

I feel like it's not too much of a stretch to include all the way to NM/AZ based on that radar.  I was talking to family in NM yesterday and I couldn't recall the last time we shared a winter storm warning.  

2/-11 in Bow.

hmmm...i wonder who that hotdog represents

[Sey-Mour Snow]

What is the board clearing rules for a storm of this duration? How many hours in? Do I do it when I change to sleet?

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Still Heavy snow and low vis live cam in DC right now.. That 700mb warm layer has met some resistance already

[WxWatcher007]

I do every six hours and whenever there is a changeover. 

[mahk_webstah]

The NWS radar already showing very light  virga returns in Concord NH. Also looks like it might be snowing within the next 30 to 60 minutes in western Connecticut and Massachusetts

[dendrite]

6hr is the most frequent you can go. I only clear at the changeover if I know the snow is for sure done.
