Archived: 2/13/14 Godzilla Storm

Wind out of the ne. 10 to 20 gusting higher

Frank is the changeover still going to happen up my me or will it mainly stay snow ice

3.5 inches and just got into the heavy snow. Keep it coming up this way Doc.

18.1 degrees here so ratios should be insane.

Just been outside. Near blizzard conditions. 8 to 9 inches lots of drifts it's lighter than I had expected. Still 29 no changeover?

LI snow totals are impressive. models and mets blew it for them. and there is still more to come!

NWS, Upton, NY

THE TIMING OF CHANGEOVER BACK TO SNOW THIS EVENING AND WHERE THE HEAVIEST AXIS OF DEFORMATION ZONE PCPN SETS UP REMAINS A WILD CARD...BUT EARLY INDICATION ARE THAT IT MAY SET UP A BIT FARTHER EAST ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THE 00Z AND 06Z NAM SHOWS A ROBUST AXIS OF PCPN WITH OVER A HALF INCH OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT.

ISOLD TSTMS POSSIBLE TNGT. FIRST CHCS WITH THETAE ADVECTION...SECOND ROUND WITH H5 LOW PASSING OVER THE CWA.

To all the new people, welcome.

Very difficult to measure out here. Snow is more drier/fluffier than I thought it was going to be. I estimate 8 inches.

haha and we thought the snow map for the coast the NAM put out was garbage. Turns out it was right lol

Yep, Mugsy, 3 to 4 inch an hour rate now.

Amazing.

You'll have off tomorrow for sure.

LOL, you guys will be in school to July 4th at this rate.

Jman glad to see that you are home and safe - was up at 5AM and thought about that aholes decision on NYC public school - run him out of town on the next greyhound for God's sake.

Remember what I said last night - we trend this season colder and wetter and s&e as the storm approaches - BINGO BABY enjoy the beast!!

where is CWA?

NYC metro and Long Island people...I no longer am expecting rain today. If it rains, it's very brief. Predominately snow. Move the red on my snow map to include NYC Metro.

Hello First Post

31.1°

11"

Heavy snow

In Stony Brook..............

Incredible Storm so far with more to come..........

Strong Island keeping the r/s line at bay on the south shore BUT sleet line is on LIE trying to push north

Mostly sleet here now on the north shore. Some snow mixed in

Caldwell, NJ - 10 in, 10 am - visibility 1/8 mile, Heavy snow.

Was sleet for about 10-15 minutes....transitioning back to heavy snow on the south shore LI

mix is gone heavy snow is back

Alex I was probably the highest person forecasting those type of amounts for LI. Just goes to show how this is not an exact science. But like I stated above, the red should not be pushed into much of the area, with the purple into the rest of Long Island, except the east end.

I'm still all snow here NW suffolk. Snowing very hard pushing a foot gonna go measure now

Thanks for reposting your snow map, Frank!
