RU848789 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 People: even an inch of rain on top of about 2.5" liquid equivalent as snow/ice will largely be absorbed by that snowpack, although compression will be significant, making it appear a large part of the snow is "gone." For example, I had ~8" of snowpack left before this storm that probably contained about 1.4" LE from the 1/21 (~3" left as of 2/3), 2/3 (8" of ~10:1 rato snow), 2/5 (2" sleet and 0.25" ZR for 0.85" LE) and 2/9 (2.5" of 15:1 ratio snow) snow/sleet/ZR events (it was very cold through that whole period, so I'm guessing maybe 1/3 of that melted), which were about 2.1" LE, overall. Add on today's 1.1" LE as snow/sleet and that gets me my 2.5" LE before the changeover this afternoon. I'm guessing I now have close to 3.5" LE in my snowpack, as the 1+" of today's rain was mostly absorbed. Sure, in urban areas where much of the roads/parking lots were cleared today, the rain would mostly go down the drain - I'm talking about rain falling on a snowpack. And when it goes down into the 20s tonight, that 3.5" LE snowpack will be cemented in place (with hopefully a few inches of fresh snow on top).

WintersGrasp Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 just so u guys know what's coming... switched to all snow here 5 minutes ago Sorry can't see location. Where is this ? Higher elevated western area I'm sure ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyDop Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 LGA had 0.95 that hour, remember the 12/25/02 event is the only storm ever that gave NYC 1 inch of rain and at least 5 inches of snow in the same day....I don't think NYC will get 1 inch of rain although LGA may. What about the Blizz of 93 ? We had 9" in Nassau and then it went to pouring rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 My first rule of thumb in forecasting...you can't fight climatology. Usually. Not for nothing, but we've been doing a pretty good job of fighting it in our neck of the woods today. We have not hit freezing today, although that last shower has us up to 31.8, which is the high for the day. It's way too close to freezing to be worried about major ice accumulations, but there is a nice glaze out there.

JSantanaNYC Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Moderate snow.. nenj. . I guess UWS is also snowing already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 5.5 inches. 10 miles away had 4 to 5 inches more than me. Big time but very local shaft zone here. Ended up with 1.5 inches more just the other side of the bay but still much less than the majority of the area. Had a feeling that might happen south of the southern state. I think it was even more like south of sunrise today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Usually. Not for nothing, but we've been doing a pretty good job of fighting it in our neck of the woods today. I wasn't arguing that you were...the variations in snowfall over short distances today very much validate the principle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Puppet Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Exactly. I'm actually looking forward to next week's warmup because the mounds of ice are getting ridiculous. Absolutely right, but who wants a cement snowpack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
