EastCoast NPZ Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looks like I avoided any rain last night. Temp above freezing as i hear drip drip,drip. Concrete however is still below freezing as the surfaces that re-dusted after my last clean-up yesterday evening are still covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 31.3 degrees and melting well-underway. Very glad I shoveled 3x yesterday. Last time was just before evening mixing so I have a good base on sidewalk/driveway to walk on of about 1/2" snow topped with sleet. With melting, it's not too bad to walk on. No additional shoveling required to get car onto road. Didn't slip once over the hour I was out shoveling. Still had to deal with snowplow's ''snow wall'' where driveway meets street. That was some heavy, wet snow. The earlier one can shovel today, the easier it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Roadways are super cold. Plows come by, cleared the road, water left on the road refroze in minutes. Tonight's gonna be fun with more arctic air freezing everything into a solid sheet of ice It's hilarious watching ppl try walking on shopping center parking lots. Theres a lot of black ice today. It gets comical real fast as folks nearly fall down. I jebwalked effortlessly by directly on the ice, no prob since I am a seasoned pro. It did not go so well for other ppl though. Slush never quite melts completely and it is VERY slippery. I watched a guy nearly fall right on his 8ss! These ppl have no idea how to walk on icy streets lmao!

snowfan Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Sw VA did great this event. Have family in Amherst and saw a report of 10.1 there. I bet the view of the mountains this morning is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Best storm of the winter. A solid 10" of snow with 1/2" sleet/zr on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Clearing the driveway was tough even with a snowblower. The stuff is water-logged and very heavy. Roads in northern MD are near freezing, a degree or so either above or below. Next few nights will be optimal for creating black ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Best storm of the winter. A solid 10" of snow with 1/2" sleet/zr on top. I am very happy to hear Marylanders got shellacked with heavy snow. Many of you got screwed over by last Monday's snowstorm. Here's hoping for possibly one last snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Shoveled after the snow ended and had to chip away a quarter inch of solid ice this morning. Only in the pavement though. Trees and other surfaces had already melted. Torching now up through the 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've been above freezing since around 9 or 10pm last night which has helped to melt some of the ice on the side streets around here. Drip drip drip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 That sun is like a tsunami. It's just slavering to break thru those thin clouds and melt all of my precious snow. It's going to slam down hard and flash heat us to 54 degrees and I'll sorrowfully watch all my snow go straight down the gutter into the creek.

T. August Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm having a real hard time trying to figure out how much I got. I know it was at least 6.5", but then there's a spotter report with 7.5" just north of me. Anyone else in the area have measurements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Jesus how long is your driveway Mr. Buffett LOL. I can fit two cars, so about that long. The part near the house is still a frozen sheet of ice, while it is more crunchy near the street. Doesn't take much of a temperature difference.

TowsonWeather Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Got 8 inches here in Towson - verrrrrrry melty and drippy today though. We were at 33 when I woke up, and the temps are already doing a number on the pack. Gonna be some serious slurpee action by the end of the day.

Jebman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 These are the best of times We got snowpack, black ice all over the roads, even MORE arctic air on the way, piles of snow are backing up water in streetside gutters and the snow is all nice and waterlogged from ZR last night and shoveling was so incredibly FUN!!! I was diggin snow off of a wide corner this morning and I could not see where it dropped off into a streetside gutter where four inches of meltwater had collected during the ZR. It had a thin coating of snow on top and it was dark out and I did not see it and plopped my foot right down into all that cold slushy water! It looked like snow so I happily stepped in it lol. GREAT TIMES! I LOVE WINTER so much! There is nothing like digging waterlogged snow, it is so rewarding, i was getting in a great workout then I managed to get my left foot soaked in cold slushwater lol. These are great times. Snow after snow, digging massive amounts of snow, getting soaked from hidden meltwater, plows pushing snow boulders right up onto my driveway and sidewalk, stayin up all night long tracking storms, and just plain enjoying the snowpack! Getting to enjoy and savor the arctic winds! The thrill of watching high winds flinging trash cans down the street! I even snuck out in my backyard at 3am in 14 degree weather in 25 mph winds in a tshirt for a few minutes when everyone was asleep! I HAD to find out what it was like! It was pretty chilly, but FUN!!!!! Another thing I love to do, is to run and then SLIDE on black ice! I also run and then slide on packed snow! I did that on Monday night during the first storm! I JUST LOVE to slide around on ice-slicked snow! It simply does not matter how old I get, I LOVE ICE with all my heart and I love to slide on it, to the utter SHOCK of concerned onlookers! I even have a sort of Michael Jackson routine that i like to do on slippery ice just for shyts and giggles lmao! You should hear ppl gasp with shock! This is a memorable winter after all!!!!!

smokeybandit Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just drove out and about. The secondary roads are still a ponded slushy mess and even with the torch today, are going to be sheets of ice tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Please Stop with the drip drip stuff...it's annoying enough hearing it without having to read it. I'm calling from -6 to -8 snow today lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Partly cloudy with sunshine. uh-oh. Temp is already 41. Sun has got about 8 hours to work with. I'm glad I played in the snow so much yesterday, its gonna take a beating, I sure DONT live on Jay Peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Nice storm. 5 inches of snow and .25 of sleet/snow/freezing rain. I just wish some of the heavier bands would have come east. Temps were good but we (and more to the south/east in the county) were slightly delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just shoveled my side of the neighboorhood's sidewalks ( single path). Those that didn't shovel yesterday during the event have some hellaciously heavy snow and ice to move. Especially those who hadn't totally cleared from last Monday. When this gets cold tonight there is going to be some significant sheets of ice out and about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
