Quincy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 light precip, honestly hard to tell if it's IP or SN. maybe a mixture of the two, but if it's IP, the pellets are tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJay Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 .The school districts are so easy in the HV right up to Albany... ..though tomorrow will be justified. The kids here had school today all day through 5 to 6 inches of snowfall. They got them in when there was only a couple inches accumulation and then it had lightened after noon so no the buses ran normally going home. Tomorrow I'm sure will be a snow day. We had a new school district chancellor a few years ago from the lake snow belt in NYS. One of the first things he said was the district takes too many snow days. That stance lasted until the first storm and he found out he had no say, it’s the transportation director’s call. Some very light sleet and freezing drizzle atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radders Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 sleet, sleet and more sleet. 2 inches of the stuff and counting.. At least it is not freezing rain, and hopefully we get dry slotted before that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It's pouring outside and has been for almost two hours. Temp is slowly rising, at 23 now. Icing has commenced in a big way. Branches are a little over 1/8" thick and flat surfaces are 3/8". I tried to walk to my corner and couldn't make it. I wonder if I'll see a plow today?

gravitylover Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 When it rains harder the temp goes up a degree or two and as it lightens up it drops back down. Pretty cool... The ice is building up so quickly out there now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sleet here also and 14F. It snowed until close to 8 AM, but only about 4.5" during all that time. So that was way under what the models showed. Now a decent covering of sleet. No FZRA....just pure sleet. I think this is going to wind down soon. Over this way too. Sleet has flipped over ZR.

IrishRob17 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hey OT, but have you checked out Billy Joe's RibWorks at the waterfront yet? I can't say that I have, have you? The roads were steadily improving in my travels to Newburgh and back. I did see a buffoon though on a recently plowed NYS 208 going about 10 miles an hour with the passenger side tires in his lane and the drivers side in mine. I stopped as there was no one behind me and just stared at him in awe. I wasn't in any real danger as he was going slow and I had room to bail if he came towards me. As he drove past me I looked over and his entire windsheild was a sheet of ice, not even partilally melted at the bottom or anything. I just stared and shook my head as he finally pulled off into a parking lot. I made eye contact with one of the guys stuck behind him and the 2 of us just shook our heads and threw our arms up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You see every kind of wacky driver in these snow events. Last week in that storm that hit NYC hard, I was there (though escaped before it got too bad). I'd say about 80% of the people are sensible drivers. Then you have 10% that drive about 15 mph with their hazards on like they are absolutely terrified. You have about 10% that are crazy cowboys moving in and out of traffic and passing on the inside despite the conditions. I can't say that I have, have you?

Rick, How did you make out last night and today, with the storm? seems like it was a bit overhyped and totals busted low in the Albany area due to sleet invasion... I guess the SW flow in the mid levels always ends up warming the column more than the models predict.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 looks like 2.5" of junk here.. This stuff is impossible to shovel.. ughh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Only 4.5" (maybe 5 when I measure again) from the whole thing overnight. It was snow from midnight to 8ish AM, but only 4" to show for it. Then sleet from 8-11 AM....ended as a few flakes again. But close to 10" for the two days and no ice. It could be worse. Even if it had been all snow it never would have exceeded 6" probably. QPF was way too high.

I rememeber at one point Upton had us here in western orange receiving 14.8" with some ice accretion as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
