Pitmaster Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 18 degrees Moderate to heavy at times Closing in on 4 inches. Nice back to back events- pains me to see projected high of 55 on Sunday with rain- blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Nice little event. 2.5" and still light/mod snow. Roads are disastrous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hmm what a nice surprise. Easily 6" and it's still coming down pretty hard. It looks like the change line will stay south before the precip shuts off, I'm still at 20*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 It's funny how horrific the roads are... I mean, they are the absolute worst. Worse than the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Gorilla Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Just got into a bad accident past Adams going down the hill on 44. Car would not stop despite breaking. Hit two cars and banged uo my front. Nobody hurt thank God. I love the snow but this sucks. Back home now and resting. Now the pain of insurance, renting, repairs.

Car is pretty much totaled. Was going 10mph and MY SUV would not stop. Jammed my thumb on the steering wheel but I'm good to go. Roads are the worst I've seen them in a while.

snywx Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Final look to be 4" About 11" snow depth. Looks beautiful out there but stay off the roads if you don't have to be on them. Unfortunately with what I do for a living I have to attempt to go into work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgwp96 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 3 inches of snow. 9 on the ground, snow piles getting big, looks like mid winter. to bad for that damn torch coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Really impressed by this system. Didn't expect such intense snowfall rates for this length of time. But, yeah, I agree, today featured the worst driving conditions I've been in over the past 2-3 years or so. I imagine the bitter cold temperatures had something to do with it. Then again, if you don't plow a road, what do you expect? My side road (which is off of Route 9) was plowed yet Route 9 had about 3" of accumulated snow on it. Glad to hear both of you guys are ok after your accidents today. Moving forward, let's hope some of this now deep snowpack can survive the weekend!

IrishRob17 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Sorry to hear you guys had accidents but glad your OK. I used the lower gears the whole way home so I wouldnt need the brakes.

Yes, the plows never came around to many roads....seems they were caught off guard? People will think we're nuts that we still love the snow after an accident.....but I still do!

Coastalfront Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 My road is still snow covered.. Not one plow today sorry to hear about your accident, I am very lucky had my street plowed at least 6 times today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masomenos Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yeah, the roads were treacherous in Orange and Rockland County today. I feel like that's always the case during snowstorms up there, though. No offense, but NJ roads are much better taken care of. lol. You can tell as soon as you cross the state line.

Pitmaster Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yeah sorry to hear you guys had accidents- but just remember the most important thing -cars are replaceable, but people aren't. I've survived two horrific wrecks in my lifetime. And while it definitely costs me more money- I've been driving audi's for the last 10 yrs now - they are super safe and the all wheel drive is superb in the snow. They are second to none in the snow - including some jeeps I have owned. In any event, I'm glad to hear you guys are ok. I just went to the corner store and the roads are still pretty bad but the plows are out now. We finished with about 5 inches for the day. So we have a foot on the ground. Excellent start in December. Everyone he sure to take care if you have to travel tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrick Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 roads up here are still terrible... the main road into my neighborhood is still impassable....unfortunately for my better half, can't cancel appraisal appointments...people still need to close on loans. thank god for the subaru...actually better than the wrangler on days like this.

Guest Patrick Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 the A6 got me through a flood.... the A4 handles like a champ in the snow...and the A8L was one of the best cars I drove... but on the hills up here in the snow, the subaru legacy leaves everything else a distant second. just a matter of opinion...there's some dude that tests all these cars on mountain passes in the winter...videos are on youtube. glad everyone is ok.

Yup. I have an A5 and it's a tank in the snow...I'll take Audi quattro over just about everything else on the road. Subarus are definitely the best in the snow, but we're talking a totally different animal here. Audis have significantly more weight and a whole lot more torque to keep under control than anything Subaru puts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Does anyone else think winter storm warnings should have been issued for today? I almost saw 7 " in Orange County not sure about everyone else.. But travel was dangerous, snows were steady all day then much heavier In the evening till precip stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow guys, that's no good. My best wishes to both of you, glad to hear you're alright. At least you can say you got the full snowstorm experience! I'm not sure what everybody thought would happen. Most mets have had several inches of snow on the table for the past 36 or 48 hours. I know many schools canceled early this morning, so I'm not sure if that played a role in the lack of clearing. I did ok with my 4x4 Avalanche but there were several times when it could have easily turned ugly. 3.9" total, snowpack around 8.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
