Radders Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hangin' tough at 21* Trees are starting to get glazed now so I'm assuming it's mixed sleet and freezing rain. My wifes boss told her that if she doesn't make it in by 10 yesterday was her last day at that job but that he would be working from home. I think I may have to head to his house and "explain" to him how rotten his attitude is That is awful.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Well i have 2.5 inches of snow/sleet/ice since this event started... Perhaps I make it to 3, but overall, not a very overwhelming event. 24F IMBY. Maybe not a huge event but the roads are rather slick and this type of storm solidifies the snow pack too We'll get above freezing for a few hours on Wednesday which will help with clean up but then here we go again, back into the cold with another storm to watch. I see the NAM spits out .74 I believe for KMGJ for the next storm which should be all snow with probably pretty good ratios. It's been a great winter so far and it keeps coming.

Logan11 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 22 and light sleet continues. I see a better batch of precipitation is coming north out of the Mid Hudson Valley. Strange that the best echoes have actually been from the Susquehanna region, western Catskills north northeast into the Adirondacks. This qpf max was unpredicted by the models. Meanwhile a paltry .25" (qpf) at best here since this began. 27.5 F here, ZR coating everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 It finally got above freezing here around 3pm and the bulk of the ice melted off the trees, power lines and streets. Ought to be a kick when it gets cold tonight Hopefully some sun tomorrow dries things out a bit before the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Ice Pics I've been using a pick on the ice in my stone driveway I really hope that we get above freezing long enough tomorrow to work on the ice rink aka my driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 A FAIL for this event really.. ....2" of snow/sleet on the ground here as it winds down now. Very little FZRA fell so I guess that is a win. At times the sleet had a little mixed in, but not enough for any ice acretion other than the slightest glaze. 27F out there now. I've been using a pick on the ice in my stone driveway I really hope that we get above freezing long enough tomorrow to work on the ice rink aka my driveway.

IrishRob17 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 I have a feeling that Tuesday may be one if those days when we get to 32 but never go above it. That feeling worked out, I got to 32 at 6:20pm yesterday and have been sitting there ever since. Anybody else have a fresh coating of snow hiding the black ice this morning? Should be a fun ride...
