Temp is up almost 4° in the last hour. 32° and plain rain with what ice had formed now melting.
-
Yup, a couple of mm's on all exposed surfaces now. So far pavement appears tobe mostly wet but I think that's just because of the (outrageous amount of) salt. 29/29/RN
-
Does anyone uses any methods other than models to forecast anymore? Modelology should be it's own course of study...
-
Light rain @ 28° makes things messy in a hurry. So far though the icing on pavement isn't bad but with as much water is draining from melting snow and rain over the frozen ground it will get ugly if the wind comes up or if it gets any colder.
-
Icicles everywhere Power is ok so far but for how long..
-
28/28/N-VRBL/ZR Ice is accreting on all surfaces now.
-
Yep 31/30 here too. We're off to the races...
-
Mixed up temps here, mid 40s on my hill but I see a bunch of 36-38 around and some pinks popping on the radar.
-
40/41/SE3 with dense fog (again) .4" but with the fog and dramatic snowmelt it's much wetter out there than .4 would normally produce. It's gone from a very solid 4" pack to about 60% coverage of an inch or two.
-
40/41/SE3 Dense Fog The temp boundary hasn't moved in hours and the SE wind isn't helping. http://www.meteo.psu.edu/fxg1/WXTYPE/loop25ne.html IMO this one's a wash. Literally. The cars were nasty this morning and they're looking sharp now
-
Heh, look out the front window of your office, see that hill about a mile away? I'm just about at the top of it. It can be "interesting" going up and down when it gets slick.
-
Sorry but as often as not the discussion threads morph into obs as the event unfolds.
-
I dunno what to do with tomorrow. I have a cardiologist appt at 1 that I've been waiting 5 months for and the next availability is late March. I don't mind driving in shit weather all that much but most people are stupid and I can't have one of them take me out and ruin the only good car we have right now (that we just bought last month). I'm hoping the doc decides he doesn't want to travel either. NWS still has a couple tenths of ice here with temps in the low 20s by lunchtime.
-
Grass showing through in most of my yard now, probably be down to mud by this afternoon
-
January and Feb 2019, back to back ice storms, Feb 2021 two also and many other years were similar but my faulty brain is coming up empty.
-
^^ Too often. Over the last 10 or so years we've had at least one or two per year.
-
50° in Cortland Manor (Peekskill) right now. Not liking the model trends at all. I really hope the place my daughter works closes Friday otherwise I have to drive her and she opens at 6:30am.
-
I'm not looking forward to this.
-
Sometimes you say the dumbest shit. This is one of those times.
-
North of 287 is the hinterlands dude. It's awfully presumptuous of us to think we matter, just ask all the people from Brooklyn that I used to work with. They told me pretty much every day
-
This is crazy, the temps here on the hills are 8 to 15 degrees higher than the surrounding low spots. I'm at 16, further up is 18 and down in the hollows it's 3-8.
-
I remember an ice storm in the early 70s in Oceanside where I could sit down outside our front door and slide all the way down the driveway into the street. The poor dog couldn't stay still to poop without sliding and falling over. Where did you live in town?
-
You obviously don't live where it's hilly.
-
Seems like another tick or two south should get us out of the ice zone.
-
No ice please As to the frozen lakes question - The open expanse that is likely to be surrounded by hills may promote some air movement leading to slightly higher temps.
