    Another terrible storm in the books. .2-.3" of ice on everything.

    .2-.3" ice on everything. What a mess. Again Hope for no wind until it warms up

    .2-.3" of ice on everything. I watched my neighbor across the street crawl up his driveway to get to his car then watched him get in to start it and it slid to the bottom of the hill all the way through his backyard. It went over a landscaping wall, bounced off a tree and spun sideways. Big body damage and it's gonna take a good sized wrecker to extract it from where it's at. Lucky guy was able to jump out before it went over the wall. This warmup today can't come too quickly.

    And now it's back to tiny flakes. They're literally just sliding off things and collecting in the low points as they get blown around by just the slightest breeze. I might get lucky soon though, it's up to 31 on a south wind so it will probably only be a short time before it goes to just rain. We'll see how much that accretes on already frozen surfaces before it starts to melt off.

    Yeah I had an inch before it flipped to freezing rain. This is getting silly, every damn storm involves some amount of ice. The only times it didn't was the coatings in December. This is horrible.

    I'm getting tired of waiting for the damage to begin. I keep a jug of gas ready to go into the generator and the heavy duty cord ready to go. While sleet is a big pain in the butt to deal with the ice on top of it has been a real winning combination Boom! Yeah man that's huge.

    29* and moderate rain mixed with large mangled, aggregate flakes. Everything is completely iced over now. A car just went down the street and it sounded like a plow going by as it slowly rolled through the ice. I'm over this winter...

    I guess you could call it 1" here now. It's compressing as quickly as it falls. Still snowing tiny flakes, 25/23/SSE2. Mahopac

    24*, the wind has a southerly component to it when it blows, I've got tiny cylindrical flakes and mangled flakes falling, every now and then a burst of decent sized flakes will move through. What has fallen is a densely packed 1/2" that adhered pretty well to the existing ice pack so it's easy to walk again which is nice.

    It's been flurrying for a while but just picked up to low end moderate here in Danbury where I've been for the last few hours.
  11. gravitylover
    It's wrong. It's not precipitating in Danbury.

    801!! In a conventional airliner no less...

    I'd call it 85-90% snow cover here. Actually it's solid ice cover Sunny, exposed south faces are burned out but otherwise it's complete. I did a lap around CT today and some places have real winter going on with real snowpack and snowbanks, you don't even need to go up into the hills. I'd give this winter a D at best and that's only because it did get cold. If we don't get a storm with snow rather than ice I'll probably drop that to a D-.

    ^^Bummer. At this point I'm ready for the real flip to spring.

    Looks like I only made it to 14, it's 18 now. So tomorrows storm looks like another icy mess. This is really getting old.
  17. gravitylover
    I think I'm at ~16-17" so need 30 to get to average. I'm not feeling it In fact, if it turned into golf weather tomorrow I'd be alright with it.

    I think the cold last year was more impressive. I hit mid teens below 0 a couple of times and didn't get anywhere near that this year. Daytime cold was also more significant. I also had more snow in the first 6 weeks of winter last year than nearly 3 months of winter this year. If you include November I still have 8" less than I did by mid January last year. You have a full foot more than I do so far this year. That map is trying to show a high spot in my area but misses by about 10 miles. Not bad on the fringe microclimates overall though.

    Well that icy coating on cars and such didn't last very long. At least all of the old ice crust stuff is covered in a nice fresh coat of white stuff.
  20. gravitylover
    I got another short burst of decent snow right at the end there and then the sun came out and it popped to 35* and the glaze and crust on things melted right off. The groun is covered in a crunchy, slippery mess and the cars are encased in a .5" grainy ice coating.
  21. gravitylover
    Yep.
  22. gravitylover
    And it's back to dense micro flakes mixed with frzg mist.
  23. gravitylover
    I only got a couple of inches in the January storm. Went into March with something like 23 or 24 inches but finished with nearly 70. Good early season snow, extreme cold for an extended period of time, a freak rager in the middle of golf weather in February and then a stellar, power destroying, forest mangling March. Last winter was far from mediocre.
  24. gravitylover
    It went over to white mist for a while and added a new layer of opaqueness to the aggregate on the ground. Now it's back to 31* freezing mist. So gross outside...
  25. gravitylover
    I got a flaky, sleety coating and topped it off with a nice slickery glaze. I've got a nice moderate density freezing fog going on, makes for a dreary day.
