About average time from Newark to LGA on a normal day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Drove from Rahway to Piscataway, leaving at 6 pm and arriving at 7 pm, for what is usually a 25 min ride. Was 27F and sleeting heavily at the time. Roads were treacherous - even Route 1 was snow/sleet covered and slippery - averaged 25-30 mph and saw a few spinouts. Went in to the RU-MD hoops game (we lost, but played decently) and came out around 9:15 pm to freezing rain and 31F. Clearly had been ZR for awhile as there was about an 1/8" layer of ice on everything. The drive back to Metuchen was pretty slick, although with traffic and temps at 31-32F things were starting to melt a bit. Temp hit 32F about a minute ago here in Metuchen. My driveway is an absolute sheet of ice. Guesstimating 3/4" to maybe an inch of sleet/snow (didn't measure when the sleet ended) - anyone in Edison get a good measurement when the sleet stopped? I'm taking the advice I gave to a bunch of folks - not clearing the driveway/sidewalk, as temps should be in the upper 30s by dawn and I hope the stuff on the paved surfaces will be mostly melted. Just saw the PNS with the Metuchen spotter reporting 1.2" of sleet and snow, which sounds pretty close to what I was thinking (his measurement was while I was at the game).

HailMan06 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 ZR now and it's been for the past hour and a half. Temp rose to 31.6F from 26.9 a couple hours ago. Should transition to plain rain momentarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 That's not bad. About average time from Newark to LGA on a normal day.And I came from home instead of Newark. Flight was basically on time. I'm shocked. They get delayed if a seagul farts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 HPN and DXR? I don't think any snow is measured at White Plains anymore...Danbury I think they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I don't think any snow is measured at White Plains anymore...Danbury I think they do. Correct. HPN doesn't measure snow any more. The Danbury co-op has posted data on an irregular basis lately. The airport doesn't measure snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncat Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just very light rain now...temp struggling up to 32.3 now...this first batch of precip is moving out with more in e pa...just about all that fell here so far was frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think it's going to create major issues tomorrow night through I know at least on my block it will drain before we get cold enough to freeze it. But I'm sure there are spots that will not. This was one of my least favorite events this year. Just as it ripped in the city and I thought wow over performer it went to sleet.

gravitylover Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 WOW! That's some ice out there kidz. I just slid to the bottom of my driveway and was about to get in the car to go to work then I turned around and came back in the house. It's raining lightly but steadily and the ground is frozen so until it really warms up it's pretty much locked up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
