No doubt! Just shows you how many things have to go right for a snowstorm to occur. Too cold, too dry, too mild, too wet, have to have blocking, worry about suppression- it’s maddening at times. But when it all comes together nothing beats the beauty of a big snowstorm! Lol I will never forget a ski trip I took to Beaver Creek CO back in the 90’s- experienced 7 feet of snow fall in the week I was there. Including one day when it started out in the 40’s and by late afternoon a storm blew in and dumped over 3 ft overnight. We had taken a shuttle bus back down to the base- our condo was maybe 75 yards away from where we dropped off and we couldn’t see it. Snow was flying sideways. Truly epic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All around me even areas with less elevation than me did better. There must have been some warmer air aloft that got trapped east of the ridge that never got scoured out. From 330am on till about 11am I was going back and forth w/ rain & snow. Damn- i figured you would clean up by you. But i saw some of your earlier posts. Very strange. Well as they say “next up” One more good one would be nice. The only crappy part is that we know the March snows don’t stick around long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something similar during the snowicane, like I posted yesterday, I knew a guy in Gardiner that experienced a lot of what we did today. Oh well, on to the next.

gravitylover Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 At least I'm not the one that got shafted this time It's still dumping, it's windy as could be and it's cold. Great storm that could only have been better if the snow wasn't melting from the bottom up and the whole foot or so that fell had been realized.

I’m not really high up but places 200 feet lower and southeast of me had 3 before I even had a dusting . I’m in my own town the western side lower elevation did better than eastern side higher elevation. . My side of town ended with 2.5 while sw side ended with 4-5 inches . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 All of orange county west of Middletown is in the dark tonight. Trees down everywhere and many side roads are impassable. Middletown itself has no snow but you don't have to go far west of the city to run into it. Estimated restoration is Sunday fml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Looks like Sunday night is the best case scenario to get power back and it may be longer than that. I'll be out of firewood by sunrise and the next few nights are going to be pretty cold. It sucks when you're on a well and can't run the pump and leave water dripping, the pipes freeze...

If this storm was a powder bomb I’d be bummed to miss out but the older I get the less I like shoveling the cement snow. I laugh at that graphic though as in theory it’s great but there are so many variables to get it right. This is a neat little contraption but they typically don’t use graders around here for plowing except for pushing back the bands in some places when they get too big. https://m.liveleak.com/view?i=a11_1518343506 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, been down that road. Even when I get the generator running my well water comes from outside my house, I have no control over the pump. Hopefully you have enough snow to melt for the toilet. The forecast here is to only go below freezing for a couple to few hours before dawn tonight. Hopefully you’ll be ok and get the power back sometime tomorrow. Sunday night looks a few degrees colder with more time below below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's a wee bit of comfort in having a restoration time rather than your situation. Good luck! 43 minutes ago, IrishRob17 said: Yep, been down that road.

Sunday night looks a few degrees colder with more time below below freezing. At least this time I filled 3 5 gallon buckets before the storm so we'd have water to flush with. I'm hoping it doesn't get cold enough for long enough to be a problem. No power means no internet and my kids have assignments due tomorrow night so now I have to take them back to school today so they can get them in on time. Uggh, back to Poughkeepsie... again.

I’ve been following things in some Milford/Dingmans Ferry Facebook pages (we’re the next town over the border in Jersey) and it’s like a war zone there. Same thing...people stuck in parking lots all night because so many roads are blocked with trees and wires. We have to go out for more gas for the generator shortly...hopefully we can get to the gas station. (I’ve heard some of the pumps and Rt 23 in Montague are blocked from all the tractor trailers that were diverted off of 84 yesterday). But it’s probably better by now. I think I read that 84E is open again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
