January 12-13, 2024 | NE / Mid-Atlantic Winter Storm


Penn State

Recommended Posts

Temp jumped from 26F to 36F within minutes once the wind started last night.  It did not take much to push the cold away.  I'm not if we even had any snow last night.

Can we just put this on layaway until next August when everything is drying out and we really need some rain? Had a lot of this over the past 7-8 months.  Things are beyond getting soggy.

It's been a soggy 12 months.  We went from a moderate drought in Maine to biblical rains.  Would love to see some biblical snow though

No surfers hanging 10 today.  Some houses might end up in the ocean along the Maine coast today.

 

Tide is about to come in something fierce.

 

I was still living in Wells on Moody Point during the Patriot's Day storm. Was asked, strongly, to evacuate. I didn't. Wished I had as I watched water come up to the house and go around. Garage was flooded, though basement stayed mostly dry except for damp spots.  Who knew 12ft above sea level could make all the difference.  But that was enough for me and sold.  Gotta have very deep pockets now to pay the price for damage from a big ocean storm

1.42" overnight. Winds were loud again.  Didn't sleep much, made up for it in the morning. Top gust at the house was 22.  Last storm it was 23.  In december we hit the record 33 which downed two trees.  

Power outages are scattered in VA,OH, PA, NY,WV. More focused in MI/WI area.

Currently 58°

NYC area highest winds mostly in the 40-60mph range.  Rainfall amounts topped 2" in Shelton (Fairfield Cty), and were higher east in New London County and Suffolk county (Mystic 2.44 and Baiting Hollow 2.14)

0.87" of rain measured from this system, with 19mph wind gusts recorded.  And with the cold front starting to build in I might see some snow tonight/tomorrow with a morning low temperature in the mid20ºF's.  I hope to see a measurable 1".  From the NWS/B-N Office Discussion:

Spoiler
Tomorrow:

A robust shortwave and surface cold front will push across the
region during the afternoon along with a strong 700mb jet of
70 to 90 knots! Why do I bring up the 700mb jet? Bufkit
soundings show the boundary layer is WELL mixed and could extend
upwards of 750mb to 650mb. Doesn`t mean we will mix ALL of the
wind to ground level, but a fair amount, 35 to 50 mph gusts are
not out of the question. Have held off on issuing any wind
headlines as to not draw any confusion with our current wind
headlines. The day shift or the next night shift may want to
consider a Wind Advisory.

In addition, there remains the potential for snow squall during
the early afternoon. The latest 00z high-res guidance signals at
streamers coming off the Great Lakes and racing across southern
New England around noon to 4PM, coinciding with the shortwave
passage and steep lapse rates. The snow squall parameter is also
supportive of this potential along with some of the CAMs. This
will bring the risk for localized/brief hazardous travel with
the potential for roads quickly becoming snow covered and with
briefly near zero visibility and hazardous travel. Greatest risk
for this will be across the interior with colder temperatures.
Along the coastal plain it may be mild enough for an initial mix
with rain and result in most roads initially being wet.

Looks like either 90 is closed between 56 and 60 or people are just being smart.

Only thing I miss about football games in snow is the receiver catching the ball and sliding 20 yards

It was fun playing in the snow too, as long as you didn't take it too serious.
