Northern parts of nyc are already over an inch, Southern parts just starting to get coatings down. This snow isnt wet anymore,its fluffy stuff now. 29/28f moderate to hvy snow currently. Yep although in this case southern parts of the city will get more snow in the end barring some weird banding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Yeah this is not the heavy wet snow I was anticipating. Is it just really cold up in the atmosphere?Very high moisture content/QPF going into the snow doesn't necessarily yield very heavy wet snow. While the surface temps started off mild and above freezing, the rest of the profile isn't marginally cold. To get the really gloppy heavy wet snow you need surface temps near to even above 32, and a deep isothermal layer near freezing above it, which creates snowfall aggregates (clumps of snowflakes, almost like mini snowballs). This will be a dense snow and tough to shovel but still prone to blowing and drifting. The snow will get fluffier with time as colder air moves in and exacerbate the blowing and drifting into tomorrow morning, as that snow will be easily transported atop the denser snow below it. Edit: The very well written OKX AFD mentions initial 10:1 ratios (about climo for your area) improving to 12-14:1 with time, which seems reasonable. You'll probably have an effective ratio higher than 14:1 wherever the f-gen death band sets up. The heavy wet snow you may have been anticipating generally entails ratios as low as 5-8:1. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
