jconsor Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Could get well into the 40s to near 50 on the Twin Forks of LI, while Central Park doesn't break 34F. Looks like the secondary will track over eastern LI, about 50 miles east of the HRRR. Pressure falls over 5 mb/3 hours at the buoys south of LI.

nzucker Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 NYC itself looks like a normal day watching the news. My entire block is caked with ice, including the street. My street is 100% ice sheet, literally looks like the skating rink I used to go to. I've never seen things this slick in Westchester, I just went out for a walk and I can't imagine how anyone would be able to drive. Truly frightening conditions outside, and still some moderate freezing rain here. 27.7/26 By the time we get above freezing, the storm will be over. Really a disaster with schools having to use two snow days this week after the blitz of cancellations from previous storms. Never seen a stretch of winter weather such as has occurred in 2010-11 here, and the fun is far from over. Flash freeze tonight will make things additionally hazardous, and then we get back to tracking this weekend's coastal and an arctic front next week which may bring even colder temperatures than what we had in late January. Unreal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal... Ice here is pretty crazy too...I think they attempted to plow but gave up realizing it was futile. Conditions are awful, ice covering everything.

jm1220 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Right at 32 here with freezing rain.Everything is ice covered and my front walk is a sheet of ice. When's the last time we had something like this here? The amount of ice outside is really something. Has to be at least 1/3 inch or so. Some of the tree branches near my house are bending over.

Manny Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 My street in Manhattan on riverside drive looks crazy out there, the sidewalks and the entrance to my building is just covered with ice completely. The main roads in Manhattan are probably better treated, but not the side roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTNoreaster Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Looks like Upton finally caved in the middle of the night and went with the ice storm warning all the way down to the coast. In the advisory, they stated that 3/4 to 1 inch of ice could be expected. They aren't joking with this map!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsor Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 What are the conditions like in Huntington? Looks like it's warmed to 33F or so based on personal weather stations in the area.

tmagan Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 What are the conditions like in Huntington? Looks like it's warmed to 33F or so based on personal weather stations in the area. Ice on the streets, tree branches and cars. Icicles starting to melt. I don't have my thermometer anymore, but based on KFRG and KISP, we are above freezing.

Sickman Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just put my dog outside, and he immediately did a four-legged split bellyflop. I can't believe they didn't close my kids' school. This is the stuff that will get people hurt. I have approx. 0.2" coating of ice. Temp. is 34F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benfica356 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Northeast Corridor service is hosed this morning. Wonder if the problem is weather related. It is cause of Amtrack (which is cause of power problems) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 34 here with rain now in Long Beach.The sidewalks and roads are very slick but they are very slowly improving, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Turkey Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 30 degrees in Ringwood. My road is a sheet of ice. Looks like we got about half an inch of sleet and then a nice coating of freezing rain. Not sure how much, but I can walk on my driveway without my feet leaving any imprint, so it is a significant amount. Haven't seen a car, plow, salt truck or any people outside.

ag3 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It's really bad outside. Walking to my car was almost impossible. Can't believe idiot Bloomberg opened schools. Lots of people are gonna get hurt by slipping and falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I wonder if locations well inland were saved to an extent by sleet. Seems like closer to the coast has been mostly freezing rain and conditions are horrible 30 degrees in Ringwood. My road is a sheet of ice.
