Not very often that the ENTIRE board on here gets in on the goods....Looks like this one is area wide and everyone cashes in!! Let it snow!!!!!

right?!! Its rather surreal and I almost do not believe it, but I think the hammer comes down this time, everything is lining up for a prolific snowstorm and blizzard for the coast and even pretty far inland by looking at the wind maps, surprised NWS hasn't upgraded or at least upped totals on the WSW, i think they have a update at 6pm, prolly waiting for that.

Accuweather still holding fast with jersey city in the 10-15 slot.

So pre-treated roads only works so long. The roads, parking area around my complex was treated and when the snow started at Noon was just wet. It is now officially snow covered. This first wave of snow will make effective treating of the roads tougher as the heavier stuff kicks in tomorrow.

This makes more sense synoptically to me. Banding goes down to Mason Dixon Line. Amounts will be what they will be, but NAM just isn't getting it IMO.

Are you kidding me SENJ that there has been no measurable snowfall down there in 14 months?  That has to be a record of some kind then.  Well congrats and hopefully many more inches of the white gold come your way!

Thats crapola ration but ya still even without still has most of us 20-25 inches, nuts mugs

The radar show snow over the whole tri-state area but at least here in New Rochelle nothing is reaching the ground, any idea when the virga will end and snow will hit the ground?

Upton is all in.  Unreal.

21/19 moderate to heavy snow occurring.

2 otg.

nothing yet cloudy still waiting come on snow

its up there, just not hit ground, i can smell it, if that makes any sense.

This is from Accu-Weather. I agree this area gets the very worst of the storm.

Just measured.INCH(measured again)..and we just got the sad call..School will be VIRTUAL tom..listen I have a teenager..but wow..all the little kids with their rituals of pj's inside out waiting for that snow day..just sad..

I have to say major props to algae and heehaw. Last weekend when many of us, ahem (me included), were focused on the system last Monday that fizzled and the one Thursday that never was, algae kept saying he was more interested in the 1/31-2/1 system. And heehaw kept asking if anyone else was as intrigued by the impressive setup for this system as he was. Those guys sniffed this out for what it seems to be waaaay in advance. I know others had their eye on this too (like mugs, Frank and sroc) but I just remember algae and heehaw harping on this event.

Thanks Bill. What I think I've been steadfast about is we don't have a bad pattern. Actually a good one that just needed a little help to kick start something. The -AO/-NAO gives us a very good chance at large scale events so long as there is cooperation from the Pacific. We also just needed a little more cross polar flow to bleed the cold air in from the TPV lobe that dropped into NE this weekend. What's frustrating as hell as how long it can take for these things to render something. Even in the best pattern we may not cash in if things don't line up.

No snow here yet, I imagine in next few hrs or less we will see it break out. virga for some reason can be pesky here.

Yeah, should be a right of passage to have a snow day. My kids are off too, snow day tomorrow with no zoom, but if Tuesday Tuesday weather is still bad they will be in zoom, which is fair
