January 22nd-24th Nor'easter Observations & Discussions

Outside of what I think is a warm nose at 850, I can't make any sense of this.

I can't make sense of a high wind warning with calmer day than a sunny wind free day.

Rain/Sleet here in Binghamton, NY

The wind is maybe delayed? Nothing here at all yet, just cold rain.

We have a 990mb low off the coast of NC moving due north - northeast. The winds earlier today were a result of the pressure gradients between the primary low that was near West Virginia and the High Pressure to our north. Now that it looks like a secondary is developing, it'll take some time for the pressure gradients to tighten again. I suspect winds will pick back up between 9-11pm.

32.0 and sleet and rain. It doesn't get much worse.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Delayed wouldn't be the correct word choice considering its been gusting between 40 and 60mph most of the day.

Gosh I hope so (sorry to anyone who might lose power that includes me, in a heavily treed area) I dunno if was windy here earlier as was away till late. I just really do not want to be proven wrong again about winds never working out. Will wait and see what happens thats all we can do, and ya Frank I really was hoping for snow, this storm can go to he double hocky sticks unless at least delivers winds that I can go measure. Thanks for your updates throughout even though its not ur kinda storm.

9pm and 10pm HRRR. Prominent sleet/rain line.

Even if the winds don't pick back up its already a verified forecast. They've been impressive all day. You picked a bad time to travel if you wanted to see the winds

But I do think they'll pick up again.

I don't like u lol, My wife did not say they were that much here, they were actually quite strong in CT, car was all over place on trip home.

No wonder I hear barely any rain, thats just missing me clearly marked YONKERS! Of course my luck lol, but I see hrrr has it filling in and MAYBE some sleet getting in here but iffy. Do you happen to know if any 50-60mph gusts were in southern westchester? Those maps you posted earlier today did not show very impressive gusts.

Actually I'm hearing the wind again. So...

Up to 1.50 inches already fire hose here

Well thats NJ LOL, where are those current wind gust maps you posted earlier, are they free to public? If not can you start post them including NYC area, wanna see if winds are creeping north or just arent making into area. Also is the rain go increase here, did anyone get thunder yet?

Pure rain now in Binghamton, NY. Elevation 800ft.

Pouring sleet here with a nice coating so far. 34*.

That makes sense, seems the strongest winds were 7 - 9 am. Winds picked up at times but underwhelming overall. Most of Jersey looks to have got into some really windy conditions on a consistent basis.

Al according to coned, there is a big outage of 321 residents in mt. vernon are you one of them?

31.6 and sleeting here with some rain.

Dusting of sleet already. If this keeps up here its gonna be nasty and a very long night and couple of days

37* and been pouring buckets of rain here. I'm right in the middle of that Atlantic firehouse on the radar. Winds aren't as bad as earlier today but they are gusting up every now and then after a brief period of calm.

JMan sorry to say but you missed some good winds today. From when I woke up until about 4 pm they were ripping pretty good.

Rain and 33 in Flemington. Maybe a few heavier ice filled drops but pretty much just rain. And 33. Has anyone mentioned that this sucks?

If not I will.

This sucks.
