Yeah it is. I don't really want to do it in the driveway in the winter by myself so I'll probably pay the shop I usually use for stuff I don't feel like doing. At least they offer a solid guarantee and they do a lot of them (and they're cheap).

This fog today is terrible. 

Fog along the Hudson and some valleys had some pretty low visibilities. Hopefully this lightens up for the travelers on the roads tonight.

this is a bizarre setup, but it might actually work. here, you have amplification of Rockies ridging due to another system strengthening offshore. then, lots of confluence is forced by the TPV swinging over SE Canada, which leads to a cold banana high

weird setup, believe me, but there are actually pieces here

We’ll see what happens when all the players are on the field. The only thing that concerns me is the placement of the banana high and suppression.

Beautiful GFS run

Same people canceling winter early over and over again. 

What will the next GFS run show?

Thanks, I suppose when we went from the three eastern locations to the larger grid, it was a larger commitment of time and perhaps that's the main or even only reason why we've seen the numbers decline. Anyway, it's all good if the current participants wish to continue. 

Thanks Rodger for your time and efforts.  I’d love to continue.

@BxEngine did you see this last night?  NYC Fire Wire shared it too. Gotta love the armchair quarterbacks asking why the apron wasn't plowed and salted. Clearly no frame of reference to the conditions that area has been enduring this weekend.  There's more info in the comments like a truck company following a front end loader trying to get to the scene until the loader got stuck!

That is just a bunch of setbacks at one time. I remember during snowstorms where you had a crew at the firehouse. The aprons were always plowed and salted. We even had town plows and vollies with their personal plows lead the way. But no way we had the extreme cold and snow depth that they had up there.

I drove over to see my Mom in New Windsor and observed that's the State and County maintained roads have a nice layer of salt on them. The Town of New Windsor...nah. Most of the roads are fine but there definitely ice patches, some large ones too, on the local streets. 

Driving over Storm King to Rockland to pick up family. Definitely going to keep an eye out for those ice patches on 9w and the Palisades Pky.

Got down to +3 overnight.

Merry Christmas to all.

Just posted in the interior thread how the dewpts went from the mid 50’s today to negative numbers currently. Crazy swing.

Absolute crazy weather day. Left for work at 6 am to rain and 46 degrees, currently 3 below zero and winds gusting 40 to 50mph here on the Pocono Plateau. Flash freeze wasn’t as bad as advertised luckily, Penndot had a good handle on salting the heck out of the roads prior to the freeze up. Secondary roads a bit slick though. Fresh coating of snow today post front, and I somehow managed to salvage my snow pack with a minor refresher. Definitely a white Christmas here in the higher elevations of the Poconos, that’s for sure. 

Just a taste on how it is on Mt. Washington 

currently, 10/-3

Amazing how the dewpts went from the mid 50’s to negative numbers.

Nice coating of snow but all standing water is a sheet of ice now. Salt trucks have been nonstop the past hour 

Temp 16 degrees 

Just canceled our bowling league for tonight. Don’t need people getting into accidents along with slipping and breaking bones.

Just ran to Rockland Bakery (im hoping that needs to explanation), and in the 10 mins i was inside my doors were frozen. The areas that flooded this morning by the palisades mall are iced over. Glad im done for the day. 

They have an outlet store in Newburgh.  Doesn’t come close to the freshness of going in the back and grabbing your own bread. Also the cookie platters are much better in Nanuet.

currently 23/15.  The dewpts have crashed along with the temps.

I saw them out this morning with full loads of salt ready to go.  Based on the Google traffic maps they look ok around here so far.  A public service announcement though, if you don’t have a garage I recommend going out and opening and closing your cars doors, mine definitely had ice already and took a little effort to open just now. 

Temps are dropping like a rock. Went from 32 to 27 in 30 minutes.

A nice coating of snow on everything here, I’m sure the sun will take care of  some of it tomorrow 

Wonder if DOT is out treating roads. Temps are at freezing already and roads are wet

Now below 40F (or still 41-42 on Wunderground)

 

That line developing is going to mean big problems for city on east 

Wondering if it swings up this way as it’s moving east 

Just lost power here.

Looks like you got the most in the event!

Highest winds?

 

Wife said around 3am there was thunder and lightning I slept thru it 

I’m in a sheltered spot so I don’t usually get the highest winds.

Wondering how much will be frozen type. 

Currently 57/52.  2.20” in the rain gauge for the event so far (1.95” since midnight).
