    That's what I got. When you're in a watershed zone you have to be careful or the fines are onerous.

    That's too bad, I had some cool pics in there. Didn't work I still can't upload any of the pics I took today because they're apparently too big. Oh well...

    I'd love to upload some pics but can't figure out how to get them down to under 1.95mb. I have my camera set at the lowest resolution possible. I used to use photobucket but that went south...

    I made my own salt/sand mix. We got 100 pounds of sand and 80 pounds of salt and mixed them about 50/50. It seems to be working pretty well. Looks like the rain is stopping now, hopefully that's it as the temp is still dropping.

    You're kidding right? I've got trees falling, 2 ton branches falling and a tangled mess of isht in my yard. An 80 footer a few feet from my (dead end) corner went down about 20 minutes ago and is partially blocking the street. It's getting real out there man and people are going to have problems and get hurt especially if the power goes out and we go to 0*.

    .3 with the wind coming up, a couple of inches of slush about to turn into a solid block, it's still raining pretty hard and the temps are dropping are the ingredients for the recipe for disaster. This rain/storm cancel trolling BS is really annoying.

    It's still raining pretty hard here and the temp has dropped to 30, a few local stations are showing 29. The ice just keeps getting thicker Tree limbs are hanging down to the ground now all around, it's just a matter of time before the power goes out.

    Wind flipped a little while ago and it started raining as the temp dropped to 31* and it's still dropping and raining. 31/NNW/RN It's ugly.

    Far from it. I have at least .3" of ice coating everything. Trees are flopping over, branches are falling, power/phone lines are sagging and the temp is dropping. There is nothing good about what's going on here.
  10. gravitylover
    It's back below freezing (31) and dropping with moderate rain falling and the wind is picking up again. It's getting ugly.
  11. gravitylover
    31 and dropping with heavy rain. It's getting ugly in a hurry.

    My well water is wonderfully clear and tasty

    @weatherpruf I'm in the middle of a densely packed suburban neighborhood not 'out in the sticks'. We do have garbage pickup, got it a couple of years ago but there is no town water or sewer anywhere near, a bit along the main road through some of the towns but that's it.

    It's ugly out there, easily .25" of ice and it's still raining. I'm disappointed in the neighbors that said they'd help clear the driveway then did theirs but ignored ours.
  15. gravitylover
    Yup. We got gas for it yesterday and we can run a few things with it but not the heat or well pump because we never got anyone to set up the wiring out of the breaker box. Know an available electrician?

    ~4" before the sleet, now down to 2" after 2 hours of heavy rain. Temp is 30*, transformers are popping and trees are snapping. Sounds like the wind is coming up so the fun has just begun Here we go again...
  17. gravitylover
    Trees are starting to snap now, it sounds like a battle zone out there. I'm not looking forward to tonight and tomorrow. The thought of no heat and running water (again) sucks.

    Looks like I had ~4" before the flip to sleet. That brought it down to 3 and the heavy freezing rain I'm getting now has it down to 2, maybe a bit less. We've got transformers popping outside now. My power is still on but the next block over is dark. It's 30* and the ice is building quickly now
  19. gravitylover
    I just heard 2 transformers pop a few seconds apart. The power went out for a few seconds but then came back on. The next block over is dark. I fell asleep but have been looking out every few hours, I got about 4" before it flipped to sleet and now it has been raining since about 3am. It's still 30* and the ice is building quickly

    SN-/30/ESE v ENE
  21. gravitylover
    Even though it's been snowing for a few hours now it's barely accumulating. The wind has changed to the ESE with more of a southerly component than I'd like to see.
  22. gravitylover
    32/ENE light/snow grains and pellets
  23. gravitylover
    Snow pellets and grains now,no more sleet, temp is back down to 32.
  24. gravitylover
    Precip started as sleet here but changed to snow pellets about 15 minutes later. Wind appears to be from the ENE. The temp had held steady all day at 30/31 but popped to 34 a few minutes before precip started, back to 32 now.

    52. I did pretty much the same but being on the immediate south shore of LI watching the clouds was usually fruitless. Whenever we traveled out of the area I'd sit on the porch/deck/whatever and watch for hours. My family thought I was nuts. I had one of those too!
