gravitylover Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wow just spent over 2 hours just digging my car out my parking lot. Enough shoveling today 3 hours total. Not to mention the parking lot is crap. I spent three hours last night from 10p-1am and then from 9am-noon today. Driveway snowbanks average at 6' now from top to bottom. Have to push everything out to the lower end then throw it up on top because the upper half is house and dense hedges. Sunday, my next day off, I have to start moving the snow away from the backyard because it's above the house and the basement will flood if I don't. No complaining about shoveling either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masomenos Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The piles of snow around here are just unreal....5' along the side of the road in many places. I've never seen this much snow on the ground in this area...I'm pretty sure there hasn't been snowpack like this since the 1800s. It's not like I have 25" of snowpack from just 1 storm, this stuff is pure concrete. I'm willing to guess that there's a good 5" of liquid equivalent in this snowpack.

green tube Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Not one meteorologist predicted over 12 inches for NYC. Just amazing. the worst forecast came from accuwx on 1010wins....... all late afternoon and early evening they specifically named middlesex county, nj for "3-6 inches" .......that was absurd because 5" had already fallen earlier in the day. and they specifically said, "3- 6 storm total." ended up with 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ict1523 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The amount of snow on the ground is absolutely ridiculous. Never seen this much snow anywhere. My lawn pile is 7' high and would be bigger if snow wasn't rolling off every time I threw more on. Similar snow piles everywhere. Many cars completely buried. It is unreal.

Manny Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I need to buy a new cord for my camera to upload pics, ughhh... But, I went sledding today in Riverside Park, benches, cars are fully covered, with bus stop signs halfway covered, It looks like a bomb went off with tons of snow. Dare I say, it looks like "snowmageddon," but it def looks amazing out there, with NYC streets piled up. Just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 DT had LI under 6-12 so he busted here I'm no meteorologist but I did haha I told my friends yesterday morning on facebook to expect 12-18 inches of snow by Thursday morning. They thought I was weird. the worst forecast came from accuwx on 1010wins....... all late afternoon and early evening they specifically named middlesex county, nj for "3-6 inches" .......that was absurd because 5" had already fallen earlier in the day. and they specifically said, "3- 6 storm total." ended up with 18" This storm caught a lot of people off guard because of the media's choice of downplaying the event. I hate when they do it. Just tell the people the truth. I need to buy a new cord for my camera to upload pics, ughhh...

Shades Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I made a compilation music video walking through my neighborhood this afternoon. Caught some surprising things, and some not so surprising. There were many cars literally buried in snow. Some of the "mounds" you could not even distinguish as a car being underneath, but sure enough were. Some streets were plowed well, others were a task to even walk in. The easter egg in the video is something I've never seen before, a person shoveling from their second story window (albeit the canopy of their front door), I suppose we are all so used to shoveling that we'll find any place to do it, even from our windows. Anyway, here is the video, set to some of my favorite dance/club beats, if you're not into that stuff, just hit mute, but it's hard not to want to jig or groove to some of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsbjwL-rdxg&feature=youtube_gdata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 observed 5.5 inches here in a 75 minute span, so that 5"/hr rate is definitely a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBG Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Was the 1995-1996 winter a La Nina winter? What was the summer of 1996 like? 1995-6 was a weak La Niña. The summer of 1996 was a typical blah second La ña summer; two days over 90 in May, touched 90 once in August. Not too much rain, but chilly.

Stormlover74 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Very odd temperature anomalies going on the past few hours.

jasonli18t Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 this is likely the best ~16 inch storm i have witnessed. not that 16 inches isnt great...because it is...but i have seen quite a few events with a total around the same but none of them will remain in my memory like i know this one will. however some of it may be psychological... expect 6-10 and get 16 you feel like you won the lottery. expect 18-24 (like many times in the past) and get 16 and you feel cheated.

Having 13 in about 4 hours like I did is just amazing, no matter the prediction. We had about 3.5" from part one. That's an average of 3 1/4"/hour.
