In Haddon Heights NJ- 26 degrees and elevated surfaces have ice, yes. Its raining moderately and has been. Roads are starting to slicken up as well. No "excretion" either, here.
Steady moderate snow continues in Haddon Heights, NJ. We had similar rates most of the night just east of Philadelphia- and have "nickled and dined" our way to roughly 8.5 inches (compacted). I was surprised at the several inches we accumulated last night...I will remember this one for its duration and persistence. I recall the "Blizzard of 96" was of particularly long duration- this one may top it (although certainly not for accumulation) in terms of its non-stop wintry precipitation duration- I've not observed it stop once here. Keeps the mood going!
I'm curious- why do you play the full time contrarian on this forum? You don't seem to get much reaction from those who regularly contribute in a more conventional way. I have to say- as a casual observer- the buzzkill routine must be really lonely. Why do you persist?
Agree-no sustained cold. Ausable River still largely open and people falling through the ice on Mirror Lake in Lake Placid. 6 inches of fresh on Friday night/Saturday morning (we're at 1850') helps..but still a warm storm with no real cold in the offing. Sorry for "not in New England"/Dacks reporting..
PF- Thanks for the great synopsis/insight into how this works. Makes it easy for "Joe Average" to understand the dynamics in play. We have a camp near Whiteface (on the north side, actually) They appear to be struggling to pull off a meaningful season by my viewpoint. Now I understand why....feel sorry for them in this situation.
Best thing I've read all night. Thanks for the reaffirmation that i'm not alone in feeling like I'm really tired of the sniping... back to the the topic in the thread title perhaps?
Update: Sleet snow mix in Haddon Heights NJ. Up to 4+ inches - huge flakes and rates did some quick damage. We keep fighting off the sleet 4 miles from the Delaware.
5 miles east of cc Philadelphia in Camden County NJ. 30 degrees, borderline heavy, transitioned to huge aggregates, wind dropped a bit. 2 inches down. Peaceful. Sleet line is close.
Heavy snow now here in Haddon Height, NJ- 4 miles east of PHL. Enjoying it as a quick transition looms (probably). Living the large totals your forum will experience vicariously. Enjoy and send more our way next time!
I understand and agree with this post. Same here. I took your post above (in a weather forum) to be rooting for "damaging" outcome. Don't mean to be too tense.
