    Wow from nothing to 250 foot visibility in less than a minute! This is awesome These were some of the biggest snow pellets I've ever seen when it started, now it's mostly small grains and big flakes. Cool frontal passage.

    Just had a little snow squall move through and the cloud deck thinned a bit so it's back to filtered sunlight, no melting though

    I'm a sales rep and travel all over the state, there are some unbelievably affordable spots and many of them are in serious snow zones. The hill towns south of Buffalo and the western Fingerlakes towns south of Rochester are just plain cheap places to live. Problem is persistently wet or white and grey and windy conditions are the norm but the good days are superb. Big snow in the winter making for great skiing and fat biking so if you can handle the cold you're good and beautiful continental influenced days in the summer with incredible skiing, mountain biking and fishing. The people that are making a living out there really seem to enjoy where they live, unfortunately that's getting harder and harder to do.

    Well so much for that melting that was going on. Even though it didn't get over 30 where the sun got to things there was significant melting but now the clouds have moved in and the temp is dropping again and the melting stopped. The ice didn't even melt off the power lines, bushes and natural surfaces are still fully encased, the street is still wet but probably not for long, driveway is passable and will have to do but the back patio is still 1/4" thick solid ice and the yard is a crunchy slickery mess as evidenced by the dog sliding down the hill. Is it really Sunday before we get above freezing again? Uggh

    Flagstaff AZ is the right place. 2 hours south and it's summer 330 days a year and a few minutes uphill and you get 200+ inches a year. The city itself is at just about 7k feet and is actually a very affordable place.

    Yeah sure if the hilltops were a few thousand feet higher ;) It's not an inversion. Just to play by the rules since it is an OBS thread... 28/28/RN This is terrible, going on 18 hours of freezing precip now. Power lines are sagging, trees are leaning, it's just a matter of time before the problems start.

    28/28/E2/freezing mist That Somers number might be right, it's been above freezing in most of the town since about 10 this morning. Unfortunately the high spots, like where I live .25 miles from the Somers line, is still stuck at 28.4.

    Boy I hope you're right because it's a mess. It took me just under 2 hours to chip all the ice off the cars and scrape a path off the driveway.

    I've got more than double that It's scary out there now. I have a feeling it's not so bad on the main streets but my top o' the hill dead end is a skating rink. The driveway is a disaster with .5" of ice and the cars are solid ice. Gonna go spend an hour or 3 getting it cleaned up before it gets cold. Uggh...

    28/28/N1-4/Heavy freezing rain @wdrag This is getting bad, I've got .5" of ice on everything. I fell 4 times going down to the mailbox. The cars are a solid block of ice to the point I'm afraid I'm going to break a window chipping away at the ice. The best part - It's still raining!!

    27/27/freezing rain It started as a few hours of sleet and changed to mostly freezing rain fairly quickly, temp has been steady throughout, sounds like it's mostly sleet again now.

    27/19/calm It's always nice when the dp starts to come up closer to the temp.

    Nothing has been treated here not even Rt6. It's also still below freezing.

    Pre storm 27/15/NW2-5/OVC

    I'm getting the feeling that I should pull the generator out today and make sure it's good to go.

    ^^ I need about 4" to pop the 10" cherry. It would be nice if this storm can do that but I'm not getting my hopes up. FWIW I'm loser to DXR than HPN.
  18. gravitylover
    Yeah that's some serious fog, looks like about 250 maybe 300 feet out my front window. So what, 1" of snow, .5" of sleet then rain or nothing? Setting my expectations low.

    I say we nominate Walt to be the official winter storm thread starter

    ^^ Putnam County - Mahopac - 1.87 @ 8:30am - 1.02 in the last 8 1/2 hours

    Add another .25" since 5am. No more snow and even my big driveway pile ought to be gone in a few more hours. I literally spent an extra half hour or so moving all of the snow from the driveway to one sheltered spot in the bushes and got the pile about 3 feet high hoping to save it. I think I've lost it a little bit after having to sit out last winter and watch from the sidelines.

    1.85" since it started yesterday. Finishing the year like we started, saturated and soggy. This rollercoaster is getting annoying, we keep going from fall to winter, mud to snow to mud. I'm over it. Bring on spring
  23. gravitylover
    It creates it's own cold air

    1.6" since this time yesterday, .85 in the last 5 hours.

    Snow mud snow mud... Not so sure I'm liking this winter so far and if what some of the guys in the main forum are talking about is true it's looking like more mud than anything else for the next few weeks. Is there an upside to today being 9* below predictions?
