gravitylover Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 So what are we thinking for the HV Monday night-Wed? Where's the rain/ice line gonna end up? I just spent three hours breaking the ice dams off my roof. Split my nose open twice and had blood running down my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY WeatherMom Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 This is starting to feel like the winter of 95 in someways. This week sure has a lot of interesting days coming up. Just as long as Dutchess County does better plowing than they did that year-it was a nightmare driving a school bus around on ice-snow packed roads. Anyone think we may stay on the colder side once again being in the valley where we see more snow than ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Damned ice dams I think I broke my nose this afternoon. I was on the ladder whacking away at the ice at the edge of the roof and a chunk, had to be 20+ pounds, broke loose. It hit me in the face because I was watching what I was doing, as any sane person would when whacking their house with a 3 pound mallet. F'n thing hurts...

Thank god you did not fall off the lader and had more injuries or worse. I made an attempt at mine today but it's solid ice in the gutters and downspouts. This won't be going anywhere soon. Feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that stinks and as HV21 said, sounds like you were lucky to not be more serially hurt. You have to be careful too because you cold wind up doing more damage to the roof trying to remove the ice then if you just left it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as long as Dutchess County does better plowing than they did that year-it was a nightmare driving a school bus around on ice-snow packed roads. I'm not sure if you are referring to the winter of 93-94 or 95-96 because both winters were bads ones around here and 94-95 was lame in comparision. In Janaury of 94 we had a storm that gave a dumping of about 6" of snow followed by some sleet, freezing rain and plain rain. Then an artic front moved through and any snow/slush that wasn't cleared froze solid in place as temps went below zero that night and it stayed bitter cold for the rest of the week. NYSDOT had a policy in place at the time where they didn't plow or salt as much during the overnight hours to save money. This came back to bite them big time as did the techonolgies back then in snow removal. Everything was essentially closed for the rest of the week because it was too cold for plain road salt to work. Most roads had these mounds of ice frozen to them that could not be melted or plowed off. The Thruway was one of the only roads that was open and passable and one reason for that was that they were one of the only organizations at the time that was chemically treating the road salt so that it was more effective, especially at temps below 20 when plain road salt starts to lose it's effect. After this debacle any other agencies who were on the fence about chemically treating road salt quickly had their minds made up. Thats why nowadays you may notice liquid tanks on the side of salt spreaders or you may see road salt that has color to it, I've seen green road salt used by the Thruway Authority before for example. So the technology in snow and ice removal has come a long way since then so I doubt we'll see anything as bad as that winter on the roads except for during or right after a big storm.

hudsonvalley21 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 12z NAM came in wetter than the previous 00z run for KSWF. The 00z had 0.87 the 12z has 1.42. Could have some serious ice issues if the NAM is right. OKX disc.

THIS DAMMING HIGH WILL SERVE TO HELP KEEP COLD AIR TRAPPED IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE...ESPECIALLY FROM INTERIOR SW CT...WEST TO ORANGE AND WESTERN PASSAIC COUNTIES...WHERE TEMPERATURES MIGHT NOT GET ABOVE FREEZING THROUGH THE EVENT. THE MODELS AGREE THAT THE LOW WILL BE NEAR CAPE HATTERAS AROUND 12Z TUESDAY AND NEAR CAPE COD BY 6Z WEDNESDAY...PASSING IN BETWEEN LONG ISLAND AND THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK...AND DEEPENING AROUND 10 HPA AS IT DOES SO. THE DAMMING HIGH WILL SERVE AS AN OVER RUNNING SURFACE FOR MOISTURE RIDING N ON A S-SE 20-30 KT LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THE RESULT IS SNOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION FROM SW TO NE MONDAY NIGHT...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE UNCERTAINTY ON WHERE AND HOW FAST TEMPERATURES RISE ABOVE FREEZING...THERE IS ALSO UNCERTAINTY ON HOW FAST...AND DEEP THE LOW LEVELS WARM ABOVE FREEZING. THE NAM OFFERS THE LEAST AMOUNT OFF...AND THE SHALLOWEST WARMING...THE GFS IS THE WARMEST...AND HAS THE DEEPEST WARM LAYER...WHILE THE ECMWF IS SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. HOW THIS PLAYS OUT WILL DETERMINE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR...HOW QUICKLY THE SNOW MIXES/CHANGES TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN - AND TO ALL RAIN ACROSS COASTAL AREAS INCLUDING NYC. FOR NOW OPTED FOR A BLEND OF NAM/GFS LOW LEVEL THERMAL FEATURES. WHAT DOES APPEAR FAIRLY CERTAIN...IS THAT THERE WILL BE AN ACCUMULATING SNOW BEFORE THE MIXING BEGINS MONDAY NIGHT...WITH AMOUNTS FROM A DUSTING TO AN INCH ACROSS LONG ISLAND. 1-2 INCHES ACROSS THE NYC METRO AND COASTAL CT...AND 2-4 INCHES ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...NE NJ...AND CT...WHERE JUST SNOW WILL CONTINUE LONGER...INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THE UNCERTAINTY LIES IN HOW MUCH FREEZING RAIN FALLS AFTER THIS...BEFORE A CHANGE OVER TO RAIN FOR ALL BUT MOST LIKELY INTERIOR SW CT...LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND WESTERN PASSAIC COUNTY DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. FOR NOW GOING WITH A GLAZE TO UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE ACROSS THE NYC METRO AND COASTAL AND SE CT. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO A HALF AN INCH OF ICE...AND MAYBE MORE DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SNOW ACTUALLY FALLS...AND IF TEMPERATURES GET ABOVE FREEZING...ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...SW CT...AND WESTERN PASSAIC COUNTY. IN THESE AREAS...SOME LOCATIONS MIGHT NOT GET ABOVE FREEZING...AND THOSE THAT DO...LIKELY WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF. AS A RESULT HAVE ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THESE LOCATIONS FROM 1 AM TUESDAY THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA LATER TODAY...DEPENDING ON CONFIDENCE IN AT LEAST A GLAZE OF ICE IN A GIVEN ZONE. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...BLENDED MAV/MET GUIDANCE AND ADDED A DEGREE (TO FAVOR WARMER GUIDANCE) FOR LOWS TONIGHT. THESE SHOULD BE IN THE EVENING...WITH SLOWLY RISING TEMPERATURES INTO THE OVERNIGHT.

Logan11 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 At this point we have very light frozen precip..snow grains and sleet probably. 18F. It really hasn't been doing much of anything since about 9:00 AM. This is starting to seem like an underwhelming event. I'm sure we haven't had more than .2" qpf so this could be a major model bust because at 0Z the NAM was forecasting around .8" and the GFS .6" here.
