BTW, I am on measuring duty for this one, so relax and enjoy!

I know your a vet Doc with 35 years of measuring experience but I'm a little uneasy with this.

Make me proud, I'l let my youngest, who is 18, know she has the day off.

Now let's hope there's something substantial to measure, but either way it all counts.

She did magnificent journeywomans's work the last few storms.

Let's shoot to break that 71.4 so I can get my HV honorary recognition medal!

I mentioned yesterday on Americanwx that I strongly felt that this system would ultimately move north. The confluence to the north was modeled way too strong in my opinion. My only fear now is do I share in the wealth? That area of subsidence in NE jersey is really bugging me. I already got burned a few times before this winter with sinking dry air. Hopefully its not the case this time around.

Nutley are your totals for the season correct? 31 inches? Feel for you if true, hopefully this one is your storm.

Jman, hope the baby gets better and you don't have to worry.

Cloudy, temps dropping up here,35.5 by me, very calm winds, 67% humidity.

I here you jman sitting at 43

My humidty here is through the roof 98%

Lee just mentioned new models are showing 8 inches maybe more for now he will stick with his 4-8

sounds like he is looking to buy into the new trend

All I can say is Lonnie doesn't have his sleeves rolled up yet.
He said that this would probably be our last snow storm of the season. Hmmm.

I'm afraid so. The great blizzard about a month ago... I received only 5 inches, was expecting 30. My biggest snowfall this winter is only 5.5 inches. Burned by that subsidence! Frank mentioned of the possibility of it happening which scares me.

Overcast
42.6 °F
Feels Like 43 °F
N0.0
Wind Variable
Gusts 3.0 mph
Pressure 29.91 in
Visibility 2.5 miles
Windchill 43 °F
Dew Point 41 °F
Humidity 93%

Well, the moisture is there now I just need the temps to drop like a rock.

Then there's no real threat going on, we can all talk when he flips the clicker around and rolls the sleeves up

"SNOW MAN"]All I can say is Lonnie doesn't have his sleeves rolled up yet.

I'm a Docstox guy. Let me see the radar first then I'll believe. I love the latest trends and I stand to get 5 to 9 on Franks map. But I have to be honest the radar us really unimpressive. I don't know what you're all looking at but the stuff out over the mid Ohio valley and southern PA looks to be heading due east. It needs to have more of a ne motion to get to us no?? I'm hopeful but skeptical

I guess the models are reading something in the atmosphere that will kick this north.Even Lee now mentions this, a Met I highly respect for his accuracy.

Cp, just a little FYI. Gladiators on AMC again.

It's bothering me, too. I also live in Nutley, NJ. I guess we will see how it goes.

We need to wait for the mid-level trough to catch up to the front and push the precip north

WOW at the GEFS

It's funny Doc, Lonnie said that the cold front would be pushing the moisture to the South. Very confusing.
Maybe he hasn't seen the new model runs.

The fetch to the storm looks impressive to me. Come on cold air where are you

Skins. Did you see Dave Curran has us at 4-6. Little light?no?
