Archived: 2/13/14 Godzilla Storm

goal what do you mean by move south? Its moving north from what I can see, did something shift south?

Goal, Steve DiMartino said the storm is tracking further east and upped western and central LI to 10-18"

i meant the precip in the south by tennessee is already pivoting and moving south. as the low moves north the precip will pivot around later today for backend snows

mets he upped just north of city to 12-24!

Snowing harder here and definitely feels colder. 1-2 on the ground and no call yet at all from the office...
No confidence in network forecasts, what do you guys think the next few hours will bring?

gotcha goal, figured thats what u might have meant.

i would agree but it seems like its a low ratio snow i dont think it will pile up that much. well see

does anyone buy those really high amounts from dimartino? My local met right now saying 4-8 this AM, and 3-6 tonight.

this band stretched all the way to eastern PA. Better ratios north and west but i think areas near the coast will see heavy bands. Still developing to the south

MT Holly sent out a special wx statement saying the bands moving up from SNJ have 3-4" per hour snowfall rates!!

Add that up it translates to 8-14 and your met is prob down playing

meeka, are you answring me? Yes they tend to do that, not naming any names as to not violate regulations in here and def not bashing anyone but at this time I think its time to show to full totals.

Unless the heavy stuff kicks in soon here, that seems more reasonable.When I look out my window and see heavy snow, I'll believe!

LI about to get blasted

MY GF in Monroe NY had a little light snow, but it stopped.

This is going to be crazy in 10 min for me

Boss just texted me to stay home today. Thank god! Time to track this beast and hope she over performs!  

3-4 inch per hour snowfall rates are moving into the area. Some sleet may mix in. If you didn't notice, I updated my snow map last night. Big storm here....

I have a few concerns (please anyones input would be great), one getting stuck in these bands on the way to work in about a hour, getting told to go home as soon as we get there and having to drive back in it lol, and if a full day getting home tonight and then tomorrow morning.  If I took a sick day (which I can) should I today or tomorrow, or not at all?  I drive do not take PT.

some places to the south west have been getting these rates for over 3-4 hours already according to radar. Some places should have 5-10 inches by dc and philly already

I would call out

not so much to the north yet but this giant band will rotate up there

Good morning, Frank! When I woke up this morning and saw the EURO run, I almost choked on my cereal!  

Frank what's your update? Steve D saying it's colder and east. Also most locales have a Ne wind keeping the cold air in. He upped me to 10-18"

Philly has 5 inches of snow. DC is between 7-10

Went from snow to rain around 3am back now to a very heavy snow.
