I dont think the models show the heavy banding this evening. Everything was supposed to get going overnight. 

You should be under that crazy band now, how is it? I'm next in line. 

[steve392]

This area has had nonstop yellows and some reds appearing all evening.  Is it something with the radar or is it just dumping in that particular area?

Heaviest band about pushing through nortrn monmouth into middlesex

Down down to 73 and windy now in Miami. Changeover soon 

But, you need to consider the sun angle this time of year...

The people don't understand it doesn't include what has fallen. Plus HRRR is 20 more for nyc. The trends have been amazing for the last 10 hours on the mesoscale models.

The guy who posted the ‘yikes’ lives pretty far west in NJ.  That run was bad for his area. 

[coastalplainsnowman]

Measured in a few spots and I think I'm at 6, give or take 0.5".  Beautiful out.  So bright, snow sticking to everything.  Not sure if my memory is accurate on this, but I feel like as few and far between the storms of the 80s were, they mostly looked like this.

As the kids would say, this is great "packing" snow.  You could make a full fort in 5 minutes out there right now.

I'm nearly at Upton's 6-23" range lol.

Edit:  USA Hockey gold this morning, 6" OTG, lots more to come.  Give me an Old Milwaukee, because it just duddunt get any better than this.

[WIN]

3 inches otg, moderate snow.

Soon

***Multiple Bands of Heavy Snow to Impact the Area Tonight***

Bands of heavy snow will move across the area through the night
as low pressure rapidly intensifies to the south. Reports have
indicated 2 to 3 inches per hour rates in some of the heavier
bands. Localized higher amounts cannot be ruled out. In between
bands, snowfall rates may drop off to about an inch per hour.

In addition, winds will become a factor as the night progresses.
Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous
and potentially life-threatening.

***Band of Heavy Snow Moving into the Area***

A heavy band of snow along the Connecticut coast into western
Long Island will continue to lift to the northwest with possible
snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches an hour impacting the area.

Periodic bands of heavy snow will move across the area through
the night as low pressure rapidly intensifies to the south. In
between bands, snowfall rates may drop off to about an inch per
hour.

In addition, winds will become a factor as the night progresses.
Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous
and potentially life-threatening.

The nam is such a weird model, this is basically what it showed last night then cut back now back to this.

That's not including most of whats already fallen.

A little bit of both. KDIX is right there and it tends to inflate returns given the angle of the radar. That said, that area has been getting crushed. Some reports of over 10" coming out near Howell and Colts Neck.

Thats from 7pm onwards projection - anything that had fallen prior would be added to this

Ok..sounds much better ..I was about to say.

1 out of 2 ain't bad

As of 9pm buddy in Mt. Laurel reported 6.5" and 30 degrees.

That's radar ground clutter. You can better tell it's an artifact by flipping over to velocity.

Yeah I WAS skeptical, but after looking over all the 0z model runs. Seems like tight consensus for another 18-22" for us. So when this thing gets cranking and pivoting, things might change quick. Dew point is currently at 31 so as soon as this next band rolls through I think we start cooking. 

We shall see... In any case, all rapidly intensifying lows are a treat for us to track (any time of year, here...) We live in a pretty special location, in terms of multiple bordering micro-climates.  

If you are hoping for those projected totals, ill hope along with you, as I walk my dog one last time for the evening.   From a meteorological and observational perspective, I would caution against expecting more than 12"....  

If you are going to live-track the storm throughout the night, I would suggest taking many meso model screenshots, which you can analyze again post storm.  This simple activity, coupled with observations, is extremely useful in both scoring model output, and learning your local climo in various setups. 

 

Cheers.

9:15 we have 7.5 inches in deer park Long Island

Puking snow right now

[MANDA]

Long Island and eastern 1/3 of NJ seeing the best totals thus far....as expected.

Struggling to keep anything more than thst up here in Waretown and Forked River, as well.   We will hopefully see a long duration high dbz band pivot near (or over us) overnight, but Im simply not seeing enough observational temp crash to help us catch up to projected totals.   

For me, snow totals mean far less than the overall coastal impacts... but I like to call things as I see them.  I would consider double digits a win, at this juncture.   Hope we both get to experience some true blizzard conditions, regardless of overall snowfall accumulation.  

Dude I'm in Galloway an I got almost 7" it's snowing so hard I can barely see neighbors house across street. Your not far from me

[SACRUS]

Closing in on 7 - 7.5 here heaviest so far of the night  30F

Wind just starting to crank now.
