North and West Posted Saturday at 12:39 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:39 PM No misery this season. If February can be cold and snowy, Winter 2025-2026 could become a really special winter.Is there a bigger list available? I want to show my dad one that includes 1960-1961..

coastalplainsnowman Posted Saturday at 01:39 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:39 PM I was taking a look at the Southeastern States board since they are being impacted by the snow today. The ups, the downs, the worry about whether it's going to materialize, other people responding relax, etc. It's like observing a parallel universe. And just like people might say on here to coastal folks like myself when we don't jackpot, I'm thinking "you live in coastal South Carolina! Why would you expect a lot of snow?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcanic Winter Posted Saturday at 05:59 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:59 PM Definitely starting to adjust to these temps, today actually feels mild to me at 25f and I’m out in a lighter jacket than previously. You really do begin to acclimate rather quickly, but then again our home is set to 68 so it’s not overly warm inside where it destroys that. My parents house is on like 78 . Definitely noting a bit more melt today than previously as well, not a lot but some. I believe in glaciology -10c / 14f is supposed to be the temp where sublimation stops even in sunlight and glaciers can accrue mass much more easily, but I’m not sure how much that translates to our snowpacks - I’m a little rusty on the physics . Still, it’s interesting noting how much melt occurs while wholly below freezing, and when it more or less slows to a stop. Almost nothing melted yesterday for example, very very little. According to my lawn snow stick, I’ve lost about 1.5 inches of pack since the storm (and why even a small refresher tomorrow would’ve been nice). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water temps around 70 (20/21c) and 850s there are slightly below 0. That's about as close to snowing as EYW is ever going to get. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=BYX-N0Q-1-24-100-usa-rad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some places that got hammered and large screw zones in NC. Not saying we behave any better, but we've had more practice at dealing with these situations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to clear some of my snow, the ice underneath is semi permanent at this point but at least with the snow gone the daytime sun should help.

Freezing Drizzle Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Some people use a heated length of tubing that trickles water out. Of course, it needs to go in before the ice jam. One thing that does help is to open the area where it drains down into the downspout/leader, at least what later melts can trickle away. I melt the area by pouring warm water until it's open. You need to be able to get to the spot though. I have one spot where I do this on the north side of my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slow meltout in the sun with below freezing temps is the worst, otherwise the ice dam melts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ice water shield under the shingles you should be ok I have a 30 year old roof that's about to be replaced. I probably should have done it already. There will be ice shield with the new roof. Our first house was in West Babylon (back when a couple of kids could afford to buy a house) and the first time I ever saw water inside from a roof ice dam was in that house in February of 1994. I went up on the roof and shoveled the snow off it. This roof is much more difficult to access (and higher), plus I'm 30 years older now and my wife is very much against me going up there. We'll see; she's a wuss, but I think she will prevail this time. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another month and it would've blown every other winter out the water Dude, my wife and I were dating at the time. She had just moved in with me in a ground floor apartment in North Brunswick. From Boxing Day on all I remember doing together that winter is shoveling . Oh and our cars continually being plowed back in and having to dig them back out, again and again. That winter was wild even with the cutoff. The year before I was in Long Branch, and that Dec 09 storm became one of the most prominent in my memories. Have pics somewhere of my buried Civic SI, those years back to back were something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
