jm1220 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Westhampton reporting 33.9 degrees, an ENE wind, and light snow, while Farmingdale has 27.4 degrees, with a N wind, and light snow. Perfect ingredients to hopefully create a frontogenetic bomb later on tonight. Coastal fronts always produce epic banding and localized massive snow rates nearby. Great boundary for lift. This happens up near Boston too and it's why they likely cash in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowshack Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 This is annoying they are plowing the inch we got here every two minutes the noise of the scraping will keep me up all night. Overkill? So far it's a nice little storm nothing horrible. Are you in metro ny? You can bet they are going to overkill this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnice Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just went outside and took a hot tub, followed by a 30 minute walk through winter wonderland! This is the heaviest heavy snow gets here in Warren, NJ (Somerset County). Measured slightly more than 2 inches outside, but that western fringe on the radar seems to be approaching rapidly. Guessing precip. will storm some time around 2 AM, but for now it's quite purty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 RUC is a really big deal now at 03z...brings 10 inches to MMU which is pretty far north and west. probably not correct but metsfan posted the RUC bufkit for JFK being 14.9 its also 16.2 at HPN---ratios ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherdude888 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Moderate - Heavy snow here in staten island, looking at it, I'd say we have 3 - 4, but am unable to measure at this time. Snow commenced in full here about 7:35, has been moderate - heavy all time -Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 probably not correct but metsfan posted the RUC bufkit for JFK being 14.9 its also 16.2 at HPN---ratios ftw Yeah it's probably a bit overdone. But I will take whatever snow I can get..and it's beautiful out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdt Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 RUC is a really big deal now at 03z...brings 10 inches to MMU which is pretty far north and west. based on earlier measurement and liquid in the heated gauge ratios look to be running 15/1 or greater in NW NJ. That may be helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Had 2.0" as of 10:45 pm, then shoveled until 11:05 pm and measured again and we had 2.5", i.e., that means we're getting rates of 1.5" per hour - it's really coming down heavily, with little wind - big flakes. Gorgeous out there. If we get 1.0-1.5" per hour until maybe 4-5 am, that would be another 5-8" on top of our 2.5", which would lead to 7-11" which is right about where Mt. Holly had us on the snowmap (~9"). I'd be very happy with that, but wouldn't be upset if we got some really heavy bands and/or longer snowfall duration to get a foot or more.

earthlight Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 By the way, I don't want to hear the GFS was "the winner" with this storm..it jumped northwest about 75 miles since it's 12z run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPizz Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Off to bed with heavy snow falling. I would say about 2.5" or so here. I'm hoping I can make it to at least 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Puppet Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Busy main road here is starting to get snow covered finally. Can't wait for that heavier stuff off Jersey to hopefully make it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner587 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I always wonder if one time the modeled miller B storm that is supposed to happen just never develops. Massive weenie suicide. Luckily as always miller B's are at least good and sometimes great for the NYC area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjr231 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 At about 3 inches on Staten Island. Really coming down. So spoiled after 12/26, fully expecting to get screwed here relative to other areas after the success we had then but looking good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Huge flakes and just heavier and heavier snow. Ratios definitely have to be greater than 10:1 now, the snow is very fluffy and piling up effectively. Around 2.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrick Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Stepped Outside to measure... 2.7" so far here in Clifton. More importantly... Winter's confetti is swirling graciously to the ground, each dendrite intact and pointed. The snowflakes are fluttering innocently, quieting the rhetoric of the soul, Snowdrops are flickering endlessly, Free crystals from an angry atmosphere that they know not.
