Quiet period!!

Well after the past week to two weeks has been really crazy we come to a quite period. This unfortunately does not want to seem to last too long. We are headed for another stormy period as we get to the end of february. It looks like we still have the blocky pattern in the atlantic. The only thing we have to watch out for is the PNA at the time we may need to watch, 22nd -26th, it looks around neutral and even slightly negative. We will see how this evolves and changes but that would be the only deterant. As always we have to watch out for the dreaded PV.

After getting all this snow many of us would not mind the break.

i will have more as time goes on.
Thanks and have a great day everyone!

Some snow pics...

we are around 13-14" right now and the flakes are about the size of dimes and pennies and really coming down.

Feb 9-11th snowstorm

Now this is just my preliminary map for the storm.

Light blue: T-2"
Blue: 2-5"
Darker Blue 5-9"
Darkest Blue: 9"+

Areas of NJ (southern) ,LI, and Cape will deal with mixing issues so i may have to cut those totals. But this is what im thinking as of now and i will post more on this storm later.

Feb 5-8th snowstorm

Sorry folks... if you read... that i have not been keeping on this! I have been busy with school. So without further adieu.

I have done my map for this storm. Now hopefully you all can see where there arrows are pointing to. Not specific locations but rather the areas of color for totals. Some will see that white blob well that is no fluke i put it there to signify that i believe that area has the greatest potential to get close to 2' of snow!

Now remember folks we need to remind ourselves of ratios. Ratios in the northern half of the totals will be around 15:1 tops. That is why i bumped up totals for that area as when the precip enters that area it may start off dry but quickly moisten up. I also expect a little northward trend with models later on. Ratios gets lower and lower as you get towards the coast. They should be on the order of 12:1 to 10:1 for areas of SE PA north and west of philly central nj and west of the major cities in Baltimore/DC areas. Now as we get closer to the eastern shore SNJ and DE the ratios plummet down. on the order of 10:1 or even 8:1 This is a heavy glopping wet snow that will plaster the region!

Folks please please be careful in these areas as the winds will also be a factor here on the order of 35-45mph sustained at times and gust from 40-60mph. Areas NW of here expect 25-35mph winds gusts up to 40+mph. This will take down trees and powerlines. So if you can to avoid damage brush any snow you can off the trees at your height and if you can your house tops so they do not cave in!

Just be very careful out there and also i would not be suprised if some areas have blizzard conditions if not blizzard warnings!

Stay safe!
