The back for this winter had to break at some point. Hopefully it doesn’t come with backdoor fronts every week.
-
I still have a ways to go, probably by the end of the week here. The snow left here is glacier, the snowmelt during the day ices up and freezes into the snow on the ground and makes it bulletproof. It’ll be great when I can hang out on my deck for a while and get some sun.
-
That’s March 1 sun for you. It’s bad for snow retention in general here near the coast-this year is tops for sure on retention but sooner or later as the sun gets higher in the sky every day it does its thing.
-
Yep, it was kinda sad in Long Beach actually, snow just disappearing. There was well over 20” there based on the photos I saw and still plenty of piles of course. I think the difference is that up here every night has been below freezing so the melt during the day just ices up. The snow we have here is very dense and glacier like.
-
My backyard has a few inches in places that get a lot of sun and 7-8” or so in places that don’t. I think we’re getting into the snow from late Jan and that’s solid ice.
-
Going with 52” in Huntington Station. I’ll go with 0.1” today also, there was a minor coating on colder surfaces.
-
Pssst. “Spring ahead” also means the sun angle “springs ahead” 360 degrees higher in the sky. Whatever snow we have now, boy we better appreciate it because the day we add an extra hour of 360 degree angle higher sunlight, not only does the snow go poof but all life forms spontaneously combust when they expose any skin to the outdoors. Be warrrnnneed!
-
Still full snow coverage here. Looks a lot better here than places 10 miles to my south that got 6-8” more snow on Monday.
-
In Long Beach today, lots of bare spots in exposed sunny places.
-
I haven’t had a chance to get to the area that got 24”+ from the blizzard but the sun really starts doing a number on it this time of the year plus daily highs above freezing plus initial compaction. When I came home on Wed and saw what was on the ground I was a little disappointed-like you said there was 3” more snow just that morning. It looked similar to what we had after 1/25 maybe a little deeper.
-
That’s my next concern-the cold winter means cold waters and lots of foggy gunk until we can warm the waters up which won’t be until June lol.
-
There’s still a lot of snow here but it’s definitely been melting fast in my area as well. The piles of course will be around for weeks or longer and they already look black/gross. I’m all for whatever warmup is on the way if it won’t snow.
-
I’m home now so it’s guaranteed to miss.
-
I'll be home so it won't be hitting. Sorry
-
Central PA Middle Finger very apparent as usual. Only 28” in State College for the season, low 20s in the Susquehanna Valley. But other than in the middle finger, finally a great winter.
-
Supposed to land tomorrow at JFK 4:10pm.
-
Can’t be saving any for me when I get home.
-
Argh. Can’t be 17” that I missed here vs 24” you missed there. I’ll take the conservative I guess.
-
I’m glad I think I’m hitting the brief window of when my flight can make it back here.

When I lived in Austin it was the rain jackpot. May 2015 was the most rain I’ve ever seen in a 30 day period in my life. October 2015 from the Patricia remnants most I saw in a day. And the severe weather was bad. I was in Austin on Memorial Day weekend and JUST missed a massive hailstorm that hit the east side of town-2 foot hail drifts. I flew out 3 hours before it hit.
-
Yep. I’ll set my alarm for it. Seriously, missing this sucked but 17” IMBY isn’t historic. That’s about what I got on 2/1/21, another storm where I did well but not the jackpot.
-
Long Beach by the photos got 20” easy today and had heavy echos lingering around there for hours. Unfortunately the sound enhancement favored just the south shore today like Jan 2022.
-
The last time I was in a 20”+ snowstorm at my house was probably PDII 2003. Boxing Day 2010 was close, may have been 20” in Long Beach but I think the local observer had 18”. Where I live now generally does well in the winter and gets the higher end but never jackpots in a big storm.
-
So I’m not thrilled obviously that I missed it but 16-17” is major but not historic which is what it looks like my town got. In line with 2/1/21 or similar type storm.
-
Probably at 48-49” for the season at my place now. I agree-with this storm the winter gets bumped up to an A.
