Looks like some seriously heavy rain rolling through. What's going on in Poughkeepsie and just north? T-storm or just heavy rain?
-
Still stick season here 35 miles to your NW.
-
That was the worst period... The last 3 storms of 07 were pure sleet and the first storm of 08 was too. I don't remember ever expending so much effort to move frozen material out of the way. It was like picking up a shovel load of ball bearings which, as you might imagine, is a pretty challenging endeavor.
-
I think part of why the totals in PD2 varied around the region because of the sleet that was mixed in at times. I got a few hours of sleet in the middle of it and the snowpack settled at least 6", more on southerly exposures where the sleet was driven into it rather than just fell on top. I know though that some friends further SE in CT didn't get the sleet as badly as I did.

Why don't you just go away. Isn't it obvious to you that nobody wants you around? After all these year and all these times of getting bounced don't you think a wise person would just leave because they're not wanted? IOW split kook
-
Looks like the last of it finally melted off. Like Rob said at least we're on the board for March.
-
Nice little half inch on the ground. @Animal how much did you end up with?
-
Snow! I woke up to look out at 4am and it was coming down pretty hard. Woke up now and the place is covered, well everything other than pavement. Easily .5" makes it the most in 2 months. Nice surprise
-
And then again Thursday morning.
-
Snow in my P&C for Monday night
-
Where are you still flying to and from? Are you seeing the empty planes that my friends that do a lot of business travel are talking about?
-
The mosquitoes have been swarming and are really aggressive so far this (short) season. Thankfully I'm seeing no ticks yet but I hear that they've been really bad in southern NH.
-
I've seen a couple of places that said it was a hot box problem. The pics from this morning are ugly.
-
Well the wind and dry air has done wonders for drying things out quickly. I had a super fun 73* mt bike ride today on ribbons of hero dirt. Where were you?
-
Well, I can tell you what it's like when 17" falls on warm ground then melts within 24 hours. Fortunately it rained for a few hours before it changed to snow so it loosened up the surface, then add the weight of the goop that piled up and things got kind of slidey. Steep hillsides sagged, road cuts sloughed and even the steep landscaping stuff in my neighborhood shifted as the snow melted. With the 40+ inch numbers they got here in the 1888 storm I can only imagine the chaos it caused.

Lucky. All I got was flakes and wind. Still have the wind which is good though, it's time to dry things out.
-
Tonight has some wintry appeal goin' on. I'd call it moderate flurries.
-
Floyd --- 14" of the most intense rain I've ever seen. I won't ever forget what I saw that day and we are still able to see some of the results of that day in the local forests. I have flurries now after a misty soggy day. The wind came up a few hours ago, the temp dropped and we're getting a reminder that it's still March.
-
I think that was the year we went 5 weeks straight dry and warm. The forest was in great shape right up until about solstice time when it dried out. Then it got sketchy with brush fires.
-
And don't look at the radar and see the snow falling in VA/WV/KY/TN either.
-
Yeah my friends out there are all on the mt bikes already.
-
97 did, that's why the April Fool's storm was so destructive. That month the leaves were popping on nearly every type of tree here by 3/15 whereas at this point there's nothing happening yet. Will it green up in the next two weeks? Maybe but somehow I don't think so. 2012 is fuzzy for me but I do remember it greening up early but that may have been ground cover not the trees or I probably would have remembered it.
-
That wouldn't be all bad would it? Yeah yeah and that's one the top 3 storms of the last 25 years here for the sheer power it displayed and the destruction it wrought here. I rarely get scared by weather, that one did it.
-
At least it didn't rain for very long but it's soggy again and the fog is getting thick already. Maybe we'll get some t-storms to blow it out later.
