snywx Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This winter has been one for the record books. Many here have a legit shot at 90"+ not to mention the consistent cold as well as ridiculous snowpack. Have also seen some of the heaviest snowfall rates of my life.

IrishRob17 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The roads were covered in black ice this morning. Its getting better now with the sunrise but what a mess an hour or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yup it was a mess. It took me an hour to go the first 20 miles of my commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Still looks like a general 20-30" snowpack throughout the county with the exception being low lying areas in central OC ( 16-20") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they made snow depth maps with that much resolution. 47F out this afternoon and I'm melting along with my snowbanks! amazing how unacclimated I've become this winter to direct sunlight and even the most moderate temps.

A two foot snowpack from one storm will always lose out to a two foot snowpack created from multiple storms as far as longevity, especially if they were smaller events.

sferic Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 What do you guys make of this, it's in the 40's at 1,600 feet, how will one flake fall? A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN WILL OCCUR LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENINGALONG A WARM FRONT...ESPECIALLY FROM THE TWIN TIERS NORTHWARD. ITCOULD BRIEFLY BE MIXED WITH WET SNOW OR SLEET AT FIRST FOR PARTSOF THE CATSKILLS TO MOHAWK VALLEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Not a good week to be snowpack but it's holding on like a champ. 16-18" depending on where you're standing. If we can avoid getting warm-sectored today and dodge the heaviest rainshowers this evening, many of us may well go into the reload with over a foot on the ground.

I have about the same pack as you, 17" at my stake but I'm sure there's a little more down in the shade along the woods line. Whatever we do keep as pack will be rock solid, thats much is for sure.

West Point, NY Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Nice inversion today holding the "warm" day at bay. 52 in Scranton at elevation. The rain band will bring the warmth down when it gets here. Next week looks insane cold for end Feb into March with a tue-wed snow threat with a wave on the arctic front that may go boom. High ratios either way.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Three different rumbles of fairly loud thunder here over the course of about 15 minutes. Pretty cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest NJ Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Temps only got up to 40 today and the snowpack has held up well. i was in Queens since Monday afternoon and the difference in snowpack is huge. I think a lot of the melting difference is the wide variance in nightime temperatures. Queens nightime lows the last few nights were a few degrees above freezing and the snowpack didn't refreeze at night so it melted easier in the daytime.

White Gorilla Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 No doubt the sleet embedded in the snowpack helped to preserve it well, fought off the mild, rain, and fog quite well. Still a huge, solid pack out there! Considering how fog can eat snow so quick, this is quite an impressive stand! Well over a foot still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 You guys cleared out much more than down here, but it made for an amazing sunset, like lifting the lid off the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Cool shot, I like the fog building near the ground. Very often the best pictures are taken immediately after a storm breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Boy is it slick out there! I nearly went down a few times between the car and the house. BONUS - the ice dams came off the house today and the roof stopped leaking :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
