With that said I hope I'm on the banter thread because I realize that had nothing to do with weather. 24.4 with sleet now. There I covered myself. 9 minutes ago, NorthShoreWx said: I don't know anyone who takes the Horace Harding Expressway into NYC. And the TZ will always be the TZ. Of course every single local news station on TV and radio make sure they always call it the Mario Cuomo Bridge and never refer to it as the TZ bridge anymore. smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont care about the name so much as being thankful that I no longer have to travel over that old pos bridge. big improvement even now with only the one span open.

gravitylover Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Will this snow add up to anything or just be mood flakes as the cold air filters in? I hope it just moves through and ends, storms like this one remind me of the late 70's/early 80's and late 90's/early 00's and those generally weren't fond weather memories.

IrishRob17 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 @hudsonvalley21leaving the snow worked like a charm for me this morning cleaning up. The shovel was able to just flip all the ice off thanks to that layer of snow at the bottom keeping the ice from bonding to the surface below. I hope it goes as easily for you too. I guess that’s one plus of having to deal with so many of these type of storms in the 80s, we learned the best ways to deal with them LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I should've done that too. Hopefully the sun does its job and melts the thin ice layer that's on the driveway. My street is a disaster with big chunks of ice and ruts from cars driving through the slush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not terrible though. It was easier cleaning the spots that had the snow left than the few spots that they shoveled yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Was kinda shocked at how much snow was still left this morning (relative to when we switched to sleet and then rain)...we only got to 36 last night so everything froze solid. Had to send the kids into the one car door i could open so they could push from the inside lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had frozen doors again this morning, like the fourth time this winter, which also reminds me of winters in the 80s. How great is keyless entry, frozen locks back in th day were the worst!

gravitylover Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 It was snowing pretty hard in NW CT when I was there between 6-7 this evening. Boy did the CT River valley see some ice from yesterdays storm. It sure was pretty to look at but I bet there were some frustrated people in the morning when they walked out to go to work. I know that I slid down my driveway, good thing the car was at the bottom to stop me from sliding right into the street. Ouch. What's with all the r**n in the forecast for the next few days? That's ugly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but today is one of my favorite kind of Winter days. Cold, but not overly so, light gray overcast skies, and flurries flying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm in Poughkeepsie and it's ranging from light to moderate snow, temp has been holding steady at 28* for a while now. Tiny flakes so it's not accumulating quickly. Too bad it's going to be NCP by morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Anyone else check out Eaglefest in Croton today? The weather held out and I didn't have much on the agenda for the morning, so I went for the first time. What struck me was how of all the raptors being exhibited, the one that least excited me was probably the bald eagles since I see them so often on winter hikes nowadays. Seems like just yesterday it was national news when the first baby eagle was born in the Hudson River watershed after the environmental remediation... now they're almost as ubiquitous as seagulls in some spots. What an awesome effort that was and continues to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Never got above 38 here yesterday and it's 34.7 and of course raining again, talk about frustrating. As of this morning we still have snow cover, which speaks more to the resilience of encasing snow in a 1/4 inch of ice than the two minor events from Feb 2nd and 7th that dropped 3.8 inches of snow, but this will be officially the last day. 40 days of snow cover so far this winter, 28.6 inches of snow and overall temperatures from December 1 to this point slightly BN means I can't complain to much yet. But when I look at the 15 day I have a lot of complaining to do, but I won't today at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
