Hitman

Blowin’ n snowin’.

Affirmative.

but doesnt the fact that NYC and points east had the same exact problems as NJ indicate that these problems had little to do with the governor? seems to me, this like blaming the manager of a baseball team when the bullpen blows a 5 run lead in the 9th.

fwiw-I dont think those are union rules but actually federal regulations.

agree. easy to blame wherever it is you are effected but it was a mess everywhere, not just nyc, not just nj but everywhere. All officials, state and local and school districts too. It was just a confluence of factors all coming together to make a really bad situation. I'm pretty on top of the weather forecasts and was totally blindsided by what happened. I was thinking at worst this would be a nuisance type of event. left my office in the bronx at 4 and it was total gridlock. there were trucks and buses stuck evereywhere. the plows and tow trucks couldnt get through just like everyone else.

they didnt let schools out early here yesterday afternoon and many kids were stuck on buses for hours.

oh ya, it was thunderdome down here. combination of surprising significant snowfall, heavy burst just as everyone hit the road, leaves underneath it all, and inexperienced drivers. 40 minute commute took 6 hours. never seen so many disabled vehicles blocking roadways everywhere. by the time I got home, the snow had compacted from heavy rain but there was at least 6", more likely 8"at my house.

34.3f and moderate snow. Haven’t even shoveled my walk yet.

Also, there were leaves under the snow in many spots. I’ve never seen so many disabled vehicles either crashed or stuck. And it happened very quickly. There was total gridlock. Nothing was moving so of course the plows couldn’t get through either.

Drove through the Yonkers but that was about 4 hours ago. It was a mess. 87 and sprain completely unplowed at that time.

Just got home. Took me 6 hour fro the Bronx to croton. I was breaking trail on 87 and the sprain/taconic. Just a massive cluster fook. had some heavy rain here for awhile. Thinking we got about 6”. #clownmapsftw

I’m stuck in the Bronx. Worst commute in 15 years. Disaster.

coming down pretty good in the bronx. roads covered.

I thought you said "poop". ha ha, I'm so happy for snow, even the measly 2" i'll be getting down here.

I gotta say, I luv snow and will savor my inch before it gets washed away. Sure beats tracking a fiery tornado of destruction like in California.

7" on the LP summit cam and 5" at 3100'.

I know it happens, I just dont ever recall seeing it mentioned in an AFD.

I can’t recall seeing this before??? .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Split upper flow develops Tuesday night into Wednesday as a southern stream upper low becomes closed and cutoff from the longwave flow as a northern stream trough passes to the north. A strong northwest flow behind the low and strong high pressure building to the west will bring in much colder air. There are hints that some lake effect streamers may come within the lower Hudson Valley Wednesday afternoon, however, left this out at this time. With the cold airmass high settling over the region Wednesday night, and winds decoupling, with clear skies overnight temperatures are expected to be 10-15 degrees below normal.

I haven’t checked out those trails but would like to probably next summer. meanwhile, only got down to 33f here.

Hunting season up there now. Many trails off limits.

I got a fire going.

On the Lincoln peak webcams, 3” at 3100’ and a coating at 3900’.
