LongBeachSurfFreak Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Nice and warm in se Nassau with pretty good melting I expect to loose all snow pack other then piles before the flash freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to loose several inches of snow with 0.25" of rain and a brief 24 hour warmup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Light freezing rain now. Considering it was in the single digits when I woke up, its definitely sticking to all surfaces. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 my temp dropped from 31.4 to 31.0 in the last half hour...northerly wind now... most areas away from the immediate cost will have at least a couple of inches or more left on the ground when the flash freeze hits later tomorrow especially since this warmup is going to be brief will end up being a black ice event tomorrow night and tuesday will be alot of salting of roads going on tomorrow in preparation - next chance of snow thursday night into friday - expect the same thing to happen then with the arctic air slower to leave then forecasted.... still a solid covering of ice and snow on the seaside boarwalk as of 1 pm http://exit82.com/beach-cam/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycwinter Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 i remember earlier in december when we had similiar snow on the ground and the temps spiked..the sidewalks wood be wet everywhere from the melting snow..afraid when the flash freeze happens..it will be like walking on ice...

NEG NAO Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 still struggling to reach freezing here in middlesex county nj should be less then a 12 hour period above 40 later on into tomorrow http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=iselin%20nj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Pavement is wet here with some of the snow starting melt and 35 here in Western Nassau now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcad1 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Upton is not that confident of a flash freeze tomorrow east of NYC. They say precip ends by mid morning but our temps are forecasted not too drop all that fast at least here In western Nassau.. we're still above frefreezing at 5pm..

SnoSki14 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The snow melt will attribute to the flash freeze for some places as the pavement and surfaces will likely be wet as freezing temperatures move in. We rarely see flash freezes though as the temperature drops are more gradual and the moisture dries out but there will likely be icy patches or black ice just because of the snow melt liquid freezing up.

I disagree from experience the se wind with high Dews is the ultimate snow eater. Granted I'm in wantagh not long beach now but still less then a mile from the warm bay.

Ill post pics tomorrow before/after I already lost some snow here the last few hours that was left on the pavement with a 35 degree temp. But whatever is left in piles or on the grass later tomorrow will be like cement with the melt puddles around them freezing solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see numerous reports of pipes bursting and water main breaks. I agree about the pot holes too, they'll be on the increase as well.

Granted I'm in wantagh not long beach now but still less then a mile from the warm bay. Ill post pics tomorrow before/after Respectfully disagree. Not only that but temps are under preforming today. Wouldn't surprise me if temps turn out colder tomorrow in regards to warmth. Great South Bay has water temps in the low to mid 30's (partially ice covered too), it's shallow water cools much faster than the ocean that will help keep temps lower here. Very little rain. Temps peak at 10am tomorrow. Less than 24 hours of the warmup to go and barely any of my snow pack has melted. Plus the freezing rain helped a bit this morning. This isn't a 36+ hour warm up, then maybe I'd agree with you on high dews eating all the snow away. My 9" of snow still left isn't going anywhere in 24 hours, that would be a historic melt.

You are correct. I'd be amazed if more than 33% of the frozen snowpack is lost today into tomorrow - which is not to say that the snow depth might not shrink by more than 33%, but that will largely be due to compaction, as the ZR and rain will be largely absorbed by the snowpack, collapsing the low bulk density structure of the original snowpack. 18-24 hours above freezing and 0.25-0.50" of rain at this time of year (low sun angle still) will not eliminate most or even half of a 7-10" snowpack (as very little melted/sublimated since Friday given the very cold temps). Was very similar on 12/14, as we had 12-24 hrs above freezing and with maybe 0.5" of rain falling into 5-6" of snowpack and most of the snowpack survived and froze solid and lasted most of the next week until the record warmth.

Animal Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Temp has dropped to 34F from a high of 40F earlier. A think fog has developed. Surprised as the lack or precip today. Basically nothing. Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
