TJW014 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 49 years ago, February 1977. Somebody in my family (I believe my grandfather) was drunk enough and decided to drive the station wagon from Island Heights to Sedge Island to check on the old summer shack (not in this picture) Ice was measured at 26" thick at the time. As of Saturday, I measured ice 8.5" thick just off Ocean Gate Yacht Club. Could be pushing 12" by this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 30 in Chester. My brother’s water supply line from the well head froze this morning; he’s up in Hamburg, NJ. He’s typically 4’ deep; perhaps too shallow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 1 hour ago, SnowGoose69 said: Right now feels like all major ensembles are locked onto the idea 10-13is pretty mild...especially W of the NE/SNE, then 14-17 looks colder. Then it comes down to what happens with the indices. If the PNA/EPO/WPO go strong -/+/+ the month is probably cooked and it gets very mild just about everywhere in the CONUS 18-28, but does not mean March is done. If those indices can at least settle near neutral values we may be in business since I think the AO/NAO are favorable. Someone else too maybe in the SNE thread mentioned don't forget shortening wavelengths allow crappier 500 setups to produce storms. I always point out how 2/8/13 and 4/6/82 had very similar 500mb patterns nationwide. One event pretty much escaped east, the other almost cut over us and was rain. Its a bit easier to get snow here in lousy setups in March than January, but obviously that factor can be negated by temp issues. Both of those storms were blizzards here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 5 hours ago, jm1220 said: Yep that was a very sad one to watch. Confluence crushed down on it like a sledgehammer as it tried to advance north. The old forecasters rule was that if the models started showing a major snowstorm in Philly it would keep coming north into our area right up until storm time. This was the case in 1983, 1996, and 2016 when the forecasts started out showing the heaviest snows staying to the south of our area. 2-6-10 was the one exception in modern times. It was the first time in recorded history that Newark recorded less than 1” of snow with 20”+ in Philly. Let’s hope we never see a snowfall cutoff like that ever again. Snowstorms over 20” in Philly vs Newark 1-9-1996…….PHL…31.0”….EWR….27.8” 2-7-2010……..PHL…28.5”…EWR….0.4” 12-21-2009….PHL….23.2”…EWR….11.2” 1-24-2016……PHL….22.4”…EWR….24.2” 2-13-1983……PHL….21.9”….EWR….16.1” 12-27-1909….PHL…..21.0”…EWR….7.5” 2-17-2003…..PHL…..20.7”…EWR….23.1” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Residual road salt is a mess around the area. We'll see how it goes but a signal is there 2/13-15 for precipitation in some form....more likely rain or frozen to rain at least along and east of 95 at this long lead time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it really matters. If we get 2 days this week of 33 and 34 F and it then stays below 32F thru 2/10, that's still 18 days straight below 34F, which is still way below normal and just as impressive as the record of 16 days at or below 32F.

wthrmn654 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Good afternoon everyone. We wanted to let everyone know that the streak of consecutive days of 32 or lower has ended at Central Park at 9 days. The temperature at 1:27 pm reached 33 degrees. The last time there were more than 9 consecutive days of 32 or lower at Central Park was in 2018, which was a 14 day streak that ended on January 8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was a couple of weeks from now, today’s temps would have overperformed by even more.
