Hitman

I had to drive from croton to nj around 1pm. That was interesting. Almost got stuck on 9A south but quickly backed down an on ramp. Best roadway was the tz bridge which had 2 lanes plowed westbound. Thinking roads should be clear ish by the time I’m heading back.

26/21 and nary a flake in croton

Not what I wanted to wake up to. Definitely some sleet mixing in. 24f. 3” otg.

Sorry. Wish I had a snowblower but u might able to get one at an equipment rental place.

23f and the snow has commenced.

Not never, but in my mind it’s seems like 9 out of 10 times the forecast calls for significant icing, it doesn’t verify. Iirc we had one about 10 years ago. I drove up to vt on the taconic through and then back home. The devastation was incredible.

Heater cable is like $30 at Home Depot. Highly recommend.

Here where? Plymouth? On the coast?

I have serious gutter issues on the front entrance to my house. There is a long flat overhang which is great a covered entrance. Keep my firewood there. But it’s a flat roof with no heat. when we get big snow, it just sits, freezes the gutter up resulting in icicles and ice on the walkway entering the house. Have an 80’ gutter heater cable which I plug into a thermostatic outlet plug so it runs when the temp is below 35f. Keeps the gutter clear, mostly. It’s a lifesaver. see photo below. Heat loss is not the issue. The gutter is a good six feet from the house.

This. I basically only read walts posts from the storm threads.

Zero on the nose, here.

You’re talking about average temperatures compared to normal average temperatures. We didn’t have any real cold temps to bring down the average but it hasn’t been above freezing and no r@#$&n. That’s what’s relevant vis a vis the composition of the snow pack. minus 4f here.

7 weeks without a thaw. I can’t recall a stretch like this.

Mountain in a cloud of snow all day. Super light, didn’t accumulate much if at all. To say Conditions are great is an understatement.

Right? Maybe they’re not accustomed to it getting that cold? The windchills are only in the minus 20s.

You might be right. I get confused because they often don’t report on what they get in the afternoon update to the snow report and then add it back into the 24 hour total. But there’s definitely a dusting on my car since 7pm last night. also, fwiw, I’d been booked to go out to bc this week which obviously couldn’t happen because of the covid but whitewater closed today due to extreme cold although it’s only minus 5f.

What’s remarkable is that we haven’t had a thaw since the grinch Xmas day. When was the last time that’s happened? light snow here. Dusting at the house. Mountain reporting 3” overnight.

Yup, we had like 8” overnight into this morning.

And another inch when I got home for a total of about 4. Pack is looking solid.

Snow growth here has been horrible. Tiniest grains of sand.

20/20. Light snow. 1” otg.

Great day.

5” in croton. Think it’s done.

5” here. Beautiful out.

2” and counting.
