Do you own a home heating oil company?

My driveway is a half inch thick clear water ice I'm afraid to move a car, if it starts to slide it may not stop until it hits something down the hill because the street below the driveway is that same ice sheet. Those bags of sand and salt I got a few days ago are gonna get much lighter soon.

How did you get off so easy on the ice? Damn. I'm easily at .3-.4 and hovering around freezing all day with dense freezing fog now at 32. Where? No they suck, especially above about 500 feet.

OMG what a mess. I got as high as 33 but the precip never stopped and the ice kept accepting. It's been freezing mist for the last hour now and the whole neighborhood is a sheet of ice except where they salted, that's just slushy mush piles and wet. Now it's raining again and the temp is creeping down- 475 replies

25/25/SN back to snow with tiny flakes here after a mix of big flakes and sleet for an hour and change. This is some dense shit Gonna suck to push out of the way before the rain makes it even heavier.- 475 replies

25/24/SE2/SN Everything is covered nicely and it's snowing but the flake size has been very small so it's taking its time accumulating although that's starting to change.- 475 replies

So for Thursday, this is snow to start but will change to rain? How far north are we thinking the rain makes it? I have a significant road trip and am hoping to get an idea of what to expect for the drive home (from Chicago) Thursday overnight.
-
I stayed snow longer than the rest of you by being further east so I was well over 4", probably close to 6, before the sleet. By the time I went out at 6:15 it was 4 and compressing quickly. I did a quick pass with the shovel, cleaned the car and left with 80% of the driveway untouched. I'm betting it's gonna be a frozen disaster when I get home tonight.

I thought it was over after a few hours of questionable precip types. It started snowing again but still tiny flakes.

Winter 2024-2025 All Tri-State Snowfall Totals Maps
gravitylover replied to The 4 Seasons's topic in New York City Metro
I'm closer to 16" than the ~10" in the season update map at the end. Great work though, I can appreciate the time and effort something like this takes -
I'm disturbed that I've had to lower most expectations so low but it has reduced the disappointment and turned it into understanding. I'm a salesman, I have to figure out how to be edit from the next few years or I have to go find a low paying service job because that's about all that'll be left soon.
-
It used to be that everyone got a fair chance, I assumed they were smart enough and agreeable enough to communicate and work with until they proved otherwise. Now I go into things expecting to be disappointed hoping they prove themselves to not be ignorant and disagreeable. At least I'm not troubled by it when I give up and walk away.
-
I'd be ok with that scenario. Getting my business kicking a month early would be ok.
-
Yep, miserable. It just popped to 33 at the town garage at the bottom of the hill, still 32 here but rising. The mist and drizzle has been persistent since the snow and sleet ended around 10. It's crusty, slushy, icy and soggy Actually, don't dance, you'll fall on your ass and get all wet. lol
-
2 hours of freezing rain and drizzle sucks. It looks like it's almost over and about to pop above freezing though so that's nice.
-
^^ A couple of ski areas have already closed and it looks likely a few more will wrap it up this year.
-
23/21 I've had heavy snow with some huge flakes but mostly cylinder crystals mixed with very heavy sleet for a little while now. The sleet isn't letting the snow depth increase much so what's on the ground is super dense.
-
We keep going from really wet to really dry, is this the flip back to wet and how long might this wet period last? Will it be as extreme as the dry period has been since 9/24?
-
I need it to stay south of I80 (or Rt17) so my trip to Chicago is better on the 11th and home on the 13th. See what ya can do
-
Ha, we had just enough glazing in the morning that they put a nice fresh, thick, layer of sparkly, crunchy crystals downright about the time it was melting off. Then the schools had a 3 hr delay when everything was just wet. Chuckle. I had about the same, 1.75 and kept most of it even though it warmed up to 45.
