You're new to continental living, granted you're still on the water but it's different. You'll see plenty of ice. Don't look forward to it These hills are killers.

I was almost to 3" before the flip. It sleeted for a while before changing to frozen pellets to a couple of hours of plain old rain, all without going above 25°. It's ugly out there. Is it even possible to get a storm without rain around here anymore?
-
23° and rain for hours SUX! Even with the snow that's still nice and white under the crust it still sux.

Sux when it stays in the low 20s and keeps precipitating but the total accumulation goes down. Gotta love sleet and frozen stuff

2 out of 3 of the worst days on skis I've ever had, one was at Catamount and the other was at Thunder Ridge. The third was a scary AF day at Squaw Valley. At least from the drive-by distance T Ridge looked ok on Sunday compared to what it could be.

23/21 makes for nice fluffyish snow. I'll take it.

23/21/ENE2 SN It got mixed up for a while with some pellets and graupel but mostly stayed needle flakes. Now it's back to good snow growth so it's piling up again. Eyeball says 3" but it could be a bit more. It's the first lightweight white stuff we've had in a long time which is nice.

If it doesn't fill in and snow more I'm gonna finish with an inch. I could probably find somewhere in the yard that there's an inch now but, meh... It's snowing but not enough to matter. 20/19/NE2 SN-

That would be two snowstorms in a row where the better amounts go around me to the N/NW by just a few miles

It was 50° yesterday and hasn't been significantly below freezing for any length of time, that firm surface in your yard is just that, the surface. A quarter inch down it's warm mud. Snow will insulate the surface and allow that warm mud to do it's dirty work ( ) and keep the ground from actually freezing.

Sunday 1-14-24 Snow Squalls & High Winds

She'll be behind it, I expect it to move through here (Mahopac) by noon or so. edit: Maybe more like 1 -
Cold front for sure, I'm down 9°

It was beautiful and sunny. Now it's raining.

This wasn't about how much, I got .75, it was simply about more water. The wind was more significant than a few days ago and the rain came down in sheets for 2 hours straight. My foundation really needs a few weeks to dry out, the water is just seeping through in a few spots now so the shop vac (and my ears) are getting a workout. At least if the surface freezes up next week the ground will get a chance to drain which is good but that means my driveway will become useless if I don't sand it every few hours. I need to move...

My hill started pumping the water out overnight. It's spilling out of all the typical spots and a few new ones. The flow into my basement isn't as bad as last time, probably because of the new pressure relief valves I don't need or want any more rain. See what y'all can do to steer it away. Thanx.

I have driveway piles but only because I put as much as possible in 2 small spots i thought I was getting away with a dry basement this time because there was no water yesterday. It found it's way in overnight and now it's a half inch deep again
-
Yeah my worries didn't pan out either. Hopefully the weakest are already down.

I think that with the ground thoroughly saturated most of this ran off. My driveway is usually like a small creek when it rains this much but the flow is already half of what it was 30 minutes ago whereas the last few it ran for days after the rain stopped.

3.2 so far

Two Mdt to high impact events NYC subforum; wknd Jan 6-7 Incl OBS, and mid week Jan 9-10 (incl OBS). Total water equiv by 00z/11 general 2", possibly 6" includes snow-ice mainly interior. RVR flood potential increases Jan 10 and beyond. Damaging wind.

My wife told me to stop with the doom and gloom. She thinks everything she's seen about this is totally overblown. She said 'they're always wrong about the wind'. Then a little later she asked if we have gas for the generator .- 3,610 replies

Looks wintry, sounds good and crunchy when cars drive by. After the whole day and a fair bit of overnight sleet and ice pellets the grass is finally (mostly) covered and stuff is weighted and matted down so next time it snows it won't take as much to cover it. That's good because I don't seem to get more than a few inches at a time anymore. I think I'll spend some time today taking stuff out of the basement again and getting the rest off the floor in preparation for the upcoming flooding
