January 2020 Observations and Discussion

The 6z nam just came Way West 2 to 4 in for the city and Long Island

Yea, huge shift from models overnight to bring decent snow into our area. Start time appears to be between 6-7pm tonight with heaviest falling closer to Midnight.



Important to keep in mind here is what your surface temps look like when the heaviest snow is falling. Freezing line way up in NW NJ.



Snow will fall, possibly moderately at time, but not expecting big accumulations mainly 1-3" as heehaw said.

I'm not expecting anything my way (GSP Exit 80). By the time our temps crash, looks like maybe an hour or two at most of precip left. This is normal for us, but the lack of 'good' events of any kind isn't. Our high amount in any single storm since the start of last winter has been 2.5-2.75". This winter about 1" as a high, and 1.5-1.75" overall. That's right, these days I measure in 1/4 inch increments...I guess that's another reason why they call this area the Barrens.  

Mugs, Hee Haw, feel free to throw a bone this way if you can!  lol.  Seriously, though great job sizing this thing up and thanks for all the time and effort!

It's gonna come together one of these days for us down here...half full always for me...

Cloudy 40* here. Dew Point 26*, so I feel relatively confident once the precipitation starts it will quickly go over to snow (assuming it starts as a brief period of rain at all). Winds NNE here which is the right direction. I'm not expecting anything more than what I woke up to on Monday: Snow covered colder surfaces with a coating to an inch, mainly wet roads.

I have to say, if South Jersey could get cold enough, quick enough, they could see a couple inches because there is a more robust level of precipitation to the south across the Delmarva area. But they are even moreso fighting marginal temps so it probably evens out.

Still 37* here, not expecting much as it's been trending south and east. Lucky folks on LI may get a decent amount.

Snowing pretty good out by me. White rain though. Surface temp just dropped to 37 from 39 over the past 30 mins. Hopefully it thumps and continues to cool the column. Radar is juicy out by me.

Snow mixing with rain here

Actually starting to puke a little snow here. Actually accumulating on colder surface. Started at 39* at about 6:45. Down to 35*

In Manorville, grass already covered. Big flakes and coming down hard.
