January 23, 2016 Roidzilla Observations

INCOMING BIG TIME NW NJ AND LHV KABOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!
AND THEY HAD THEM AS 1-3" 1996 , 1983, 2010 RINGA BELL ANYONE!!!

Heavy snow and about 9 inches in N Rockland.

My enclosed back porch just separated from my house. I now have a 1 inch gap to the outside and snow is coming in. I sure hope my insurance covers it. Trying to patch it up, but I'm scared the whole structure my let loose....

They plowed one of the lots at my apartment complex to blacktop in spots. Within 20 minutes or so, you can't even tell they were there. Insane.

Also - I have optimum/cablevision and we have been out on and off (mostly off) for an hour. No tv or Internet. Yay for cellular data!

Never good to hear, stay safe

Ugg. Been dry slotted with light snow for the past two hrs. 30-40dbz to my north and south. Wtf! Mod snow finally filling back in.

Looking at the tele connections for this storm both the nao and ao spiked from negative to neutral ao very negative. and the PNA also had a spike. Also the MJO is currently in the circle of death. Which is probably better 4 Northeast snowstorm during a strong El Nino. I have read that phases 8 and 1 are actually unfavorable for us during strong El Ninos

Frank, HRRR has us going strong til at least 2am. U sticking with an end time of 9-11?

The storm is stalled. Not moving.

I HAVE TO PINCH ME SELF TO THINK I AM LIVING THIS STORM - UNREAL - SURREAL BUT IT IS REAL *** YEAHH BOYS/GIRLS THIS IS AMAZING!! CRIPPLING - CITY GOING TO TAKE DAYS TO GET BACK.

BUDDY JUST TEXT AND LIKE 1996 HE SAID "96 ALL OVER AGAIN, PLOWS CALLED BACK TO GARAGES TO WAIT IT OUT - TO DANGEROUS - HIGHWAYS ARE IMPASSABLE - 80, 78, 17 4, PAL INTERSTATE" - LONG COUPLE DAYS AHEAD !!

What apartment complex do you live in. I used to live in Parsippany 30 years ago.

FRANK DID YOU SEE BOB'S (WEATHERWATCH BOB)POST ABOUT THE INTENSIFICATION AS IT CRAWLS NE?? HOW LOW ARE WE PROJECTED TO GO 970 - BEFORE IT HEADS OUT

Almost certain I have a foot of snow here, again hard to tell but the snow is up to my knees on the sidewalk and I'm average height.

Still snowing like crazy. I don't really remember 96 much but my father is comparing it to this.

End time looks to be 9pm-12 am from west to east. So eastern PA and western NJ between 9-10pm. Central NJ and eastern NJ around 10-11pm. NYC and long island 11pm-12am

Scott same thing here it's been snowing steadily but very fine flakes for the last three hours probably have close to a foot maybe a little less hard to tell

New mesoscale discussion

Based on snow rates and visibility since my last measurement I'd bet I'm up to about 18-19" right now. Right now I'm back in near whiteout conditions with whipping winds and heavy snow.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
