Jay's House of Weather 'n Stuff

Tough thing about that link is the the more north you go..it doesnt pick up the precip well..let me see if you can find the link for your area...and right now...the heavier precip is on the border of NYS and Conn..moving west towards you....I think you may be around 3 hours aways from getting the heavier snow...if it makes it..it will.

Let me look for your link.

 

Try this CBG..you are rockland county right? This is out of Albany but you can see the more solid yellow..you are looking for the lighter green or yellow for heavier snow. You can see the long line in Conn entering NYS moving east to west.

Here is another one out of newark...that albany one isnt that good either. Just because its empty by you doesnt mean nothing is happening..the radar just cant read the far away from the center.

Here..this might be better:

edit: yes..this is much better...see to your east? Can you see the brighter yellows and light greens heading your way? You need them to get to you....they will.

THE DBZ on the left indicates how strong and heavy it is. Dont go by heavy meaning you have to get to the oranges and reds...even in a blizzard, snow will not get to those colors..just rain. Snow is much harder for radar to pick up. You just need to either get to the lightest green which would be moderate to heavy...or yellow..which would be heavy snow.

 

Yeah...the heavy stuff is a lot closer to you...no longer than 2 hours away..but I think even sooner.

 

Yeah me too...didnt expect this much in passaic county but will take it.

CBG..if all the models are correct and looking at the radar..I think it goes at least to sunrise...perhaps even later. Nice hit.

 

The great thing about it is for snow lovers, its really is great outside right now...just a real quite tranquil snow. I have a bit less then you. For the snow haters...with the sun and temps the next 3 days..this will all be gone quickly.

Still a very full radar and a lot to come through. Whether or on the pace keeps up is tough to tell..there are breaks coming up but with a norlun trough, it just keeps filling in until this little storm that is sucking the precip for the big storm starts kicking both storms out to sea. Thats all thats happening.

The wild thing is we have killed the models but the models have shown this back end of the storm snow for 4 days now....pretty impressive. Many models showed more snow on the back end then the huge storm...and thats dead on.

Still...it was a sucky job by all...but a nice finish.

Think you have at least 2-3 inches more coming.

 

Just looking the radar...wondering what some areas in Conn will end up with..its been snowing hard in Stamford Conn for awhile now..those are bright greens coming through there....link:http://www.wunderground.com/radar/r...ford,+NJ&showstorms=0&showlabels=1&rainsnow=0

If those bands hold up, you might get a decent more my friend. They are heading your way.

 

You know CBG...I have talked about it with a few people and I think by October, I will set something up like that. Without going into details, I have about 5 companies of people that I know that I have helped out with storms over the past 5 years. I have the sporting teams of several towns, people that I know, that I have helped out and have open lines. Many a practice has been called off by my right or wrong calls..lol...I even help them out in spring and summer with thunderstorm lines and timing when they come through.

What I provide them is 24 hour service...they know when these things come, Im up...and have no problem suffering through the next day because I do love it. And thanks for the nice comments.

Back to the storm...I was on the phone with a few people about 10 minutes ago and our schools will probably have a delayed opening at least...but I just took a quick ride and the highways because of the borderline temps are just wet. Side roads? Suck.

Another thing is this....while I do not expect the snow to keep up the whole time in the moderate range...I would not be surprised if this goes into the LATE morning at least now. The temps will struggle to maintain whats falling though and might even see a mix to rain as the morning goes on because there is not really any cold air to support whats falling. The reason its even sticking now is because of moderate to heavy way its falling. Once it turns light...it cant keep up and will melt really fast.

But, its enough to make it look great...and maybe keep the kids in bed for a couple extra hours and thats always sweet. I will be on for at least a couple more hours.

 

Ha....lol...good one..no no no...no charge. Well you know what? Maybe down the road..but not only will you have a free lifetime membership...but some royalties too.

It is soooo peaceful outside right now. Beautiful. Something that is coming down so hard..and accumulating...yet not a peep.

 

And just as I say that...looking at the radar..that line in Stamford seems to be drying up. Thats how these things start to end...they just dissipate. Hope they fill back in...lets see.

 

Forget that..radar still filling in west..funny thing is that some will end up with 6" of snow and that qualifies for a winter storm warning and the NWS would never go down that road they way so many departments busted...scared shit to bust again.

Technically, for those that get 6, a Winter Storm Warning should have been issued even now..and I doubt they will do that...even though this snow is very manageable..it fits the bill.
