famartin Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 With the below freezing temps til sunday, what is the risk for ice dams? Probably high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 the delaware is running low and is pretty much completely ice covered in the Trenton area. Would not be surprised to see some ice jams later this week, definitely something to watch. Last years ice jam was one of the coolest meteolroogical events I've ever seen, helps enjoy when there was no damage though to property. here is a pic after it had broke and we got some rain, had a layer of fog hanging over the river, was unlike anything i've ever seen.

Coltsfan1217 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 If we can get one good snowstorm this winter (6+) before it's all set and done, I will be content. Running out of time though. It's upsetting we haven't had anything over 5 inches in Montco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plokoon111 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nice picture! The neshaminy creek is frozen pretty solid right now, should be interesting to see when it finally breaks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just dropped to 4F here for the overnight low. No doubt with an assist from the fresh snowpack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's upsetting we haven't had anything over 5 inches in Montco Conversely I'm feeling pretty good having finally gotten a 4" snowfall here. The somewhat of a downer to me is seeing the models trending towards a big rain on Sunday which would no doubt wash most of it away if it verifies. An area wide 6 incher would be great, even better if it could add to our snowpack before the inevitable thawing/melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman56 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 3.3 in NW Chesco for the low this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmorninglight Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 KMIV is a radiating machine and with 6" fresh snow they really give it up. They have that Pine Barrens "desert-effect" where daytime highs can soar and nighttime lows dip fast. Just far enough from ocean and bay too. KWWD hit 10F just before midnight, but really the temperature bounced around quite a lot and averaged 15F or so for the morning hours. It is wild how we can differ so much in a short distance.

famartin Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 How is the redwood doing, after surviving last winter? Am rooting for it, no pun intended. Not sure. I've toyed with the idea of asking someone to take a picture and send it to me, but based on how it fared last winter, it won't really show the damage which is bound to have occurred until it thaws out.

Makes sense. I'm envisioning a race of winter hardy redwoods in NJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluescat1 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Question, are there any analogs that show a pattern like we are having this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Question, are there any analogs that show a pattern like we are having this year? You may have to go back to the ice age to find a good match... But seriously...I have no idea if the pattern has any similarities, but the winter of 1976-77 was very cold with not a lot of snow. I wonder if that winter had a big-time -EPO/+PNA but also a majorly +NAO preventing our area from getting decent snows out of the frigid cold.

Bluescat1 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I seem to remember back around 72 or 73 or maybe a year or two later that we had some extremely cold weather and only a couple of 2" snow falls. I remember it well as I was a cable splicer for NJ Bell and there was a lot of development in Plainsboro at the time and we had to build splices in open trenches with the arctic wind howling like it is this year.I don't think I have ever been that cold in my life, which is why I am glad I am retired now.

RedSky Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The cold this February and where we look to be at the end of the month is unbelievable. I honestly didn't think a winter month this cold was something I ever would see again in my life time due to climate change/warming. Thought 1994 and the 70's winters were a level that could not be reached again. Of course 2014 was on the same level of cold as those other winters but this one has it beat. NYC is going to finish near -10F departure for the month or colder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Glad I'm not a dump truck driver in Massachusetts right now. I'd be making big money, but I'd not see my family and would be flat worn out. These guys are probably putting in 16-18 hour days, 7 days a week trying to get rid of all the snow.

RedSky Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The flood in New England when the melt comes is going to be epic. Last year i feared it here but we got the most benign gradual warming with no rain you could ever expect. This year far more active won't be the same.
