The "main" event transpires when we see the current 500mb, 700mb, & 850mb troughs, shift towards the Atlantic (off Delmarva), tilt, and "close-off", as it captures the surface cyclone. THAT, is when things get serious, and dynamics really show off (not *all* will be winners) pic.twitter.com/4lkaHTZ4QX

Reporting from Stillwater NJ at 1190 feet altitude. Been snowing for 1 hour and a half, coming down fine and steady, had 1/2 inch of frozen snow before it started so 1 inch and a half has fell of new snow, salt trucks came in Twice, 17 degrees and NO wind which I think means it has not officially started. Pretty sure when the wind picks up our eyes are going to be more wide open!
Good Luck !

Real battle of the air masses at the 850's. Lot's of cold air funneling down. That is key.

The front-end thump from this storm is, at least on radar and what I can eyeball at my location, much more impressive than I expected. I'm always skeptical of the over-running. Word of caution to those observing, it is not unheard of for a brief lull to occur as the transfer to the coastal takes place, so don't panic if that happens at some point overnight.

by **rb924119** Sun Jan 31, 2021 8:53 pm

Nice map, too, Frank!!! Just catching up now. I can’t wait to see how it works out and dissect the results on.......WEDNESDAY!!! Hahaha

The mid-levels seem plenty cold to support snow now. I'm shocked you'd be raining.

Yeah. But an east wind off a warm ocean does magical things lol

I think for the most part mid-levels should stay cold enough until the coastal takes over for all snow from CNJ on north, but cannot rule out some sleet below I78 in NJ.

by **jmanley32** Sun Jan 31, 2021 8:56 pm

I am not concerned about a lull as theres nothing coming down yet....but I will trust you Frank that this isn't bad as you posted earlier. Though bands are coming through so I dunno where the snow is.

by **Frank_Wx** Sun Jan 31, 2021 8:57 pm

Not that it matter at this point but the 18z EURO just printed out even higher snow amounts than 12z

Low-level warmth. Strong onshore fetch off a warm ocean doesn’t take long.

Just brutal. I feel for you. As much as I love it down there even when I’m there in the winter the NJ barrier islands are no place for a snow lover, that’s for sure. lol.
