The cold is definitely a drain on the body, even if you're completely healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 While we're on the topic of cold weather... it's darn crisp out this evening! 14/-2 with clear skies and a bright full-ish moon overhead. I would love a few inches of fresh snow to liven up the landscape; the moonlight doesn't glisten quite as nicely on spotty mounds of refrozen ice.

Juliancolton Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 58/34. Cleared out nicely for a couple hours after the cold fropa, but clouds have returned. Winds really starting to crank out of the WNW. It will probably be close to a week before we get anywhere near this warm again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlsterCountySnowZ Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Starting to look like some of us could get nipped with a bit of snow Tuesday night and wed, as models are showing now I would say 1-2" but 50-75 miles shift west we could be in for a WSW type event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah only a few patches here and there around my property. 75.7" of snowfall here imby. I am still in shock & aw that the last event was on the 18th of February. No records handy, but getting shut out from this point through March is impressive. Wife is still pissed we have snow on the ground April snow is rare, but I suspect the season is done. Nothing historical for snow this season, fondly recall the numerous busted snow forecast in our area for various reasons. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm down to just piles as well. 59.5"... and to think on Valentine's Day I thought 100" would be attainable for many of us.

Juliancolton Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I really don't recall a March with no snow in a long time. Haven't seen a flake since Feb 18, lol. I logged 0.2" of sleet on 3/12, so I guess I have that going for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Animal is causing quite a ruckus in the 3/24 storm thread! Our threat of snow is likely gone. I'm hoping for one more use of my rink, then to stock it with fish in anticipation of the warmup the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Gorilla Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Guys just a gut hunch......but it is strong......we are going to get slammed .....yes.....Hudson Valley with 6-12 inches of snow Tuesday and a historic blizzard east of here. New England will be buried under feet of white. Again, nothing to back this up.....just a hunch that the storm is much closer to coast with even rain and mixing along immediate shore. Let's see if I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Afternoon discussion from Mt Holly NWS . 4 inches possible NW NJ Not sure what they are thinking, but I will ride the bus. AS FAR AS THE IMPACTS WITH THIS SYSTEM...SNOW...ALTHOUGH THE QPF AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHEST ALONG THE SHORE,THEY WILL PROBABLY NOT HAVE THE HIGHEST SNOW TOTALS. THATS BECAUSESOME OF THOSE AREAS WILL STAY NEAR OR JUST ABOVE FREEZING, LEADINGTO LOWER SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS. OF COURSE, LOCALIZED HEAVIER BURSTSOF SNOW COULD LEAD TO HIGHER TOTALS, BUT PINPOINTING THOSE THIS FAROUT IS JUST NOT POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION, MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION ISEXPECTED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE LOW, WHICH FOR US WOULD MEANDURING THE DAY TUESDAY, MEANING THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION COULDBE RAIN OR RAIN SNOW MIX FOR MOST LOCATIONS. BOTTOM LINE...MOSTLYLOOKING AT TOTALS UP TO FOUR INCHES, WITH THE LOWEST AMOUNTS INDELMARVA, AND HIGHEST TOTALS IN NW NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm game for an inch on Tuesday night. Just enough to creep over the 60" threshold and get a last glimpse at some flakes before the onslaught of mosquitoes, disappointingly mediocre watermelon, and algae-shrouded pools.

gravitylover Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I could go for a bit o' snow, just not too much and it should hold off until after about noon so I can get a good bike ride in that morning. I dunno, not feeling it really and could do without it so if it doesn't happen I won't be too bummed. I ended up around 75", had snowpack for two months straight and still have banks running down the shaded side of the driveway. Good day all, Spring is in the air. Temp 55 F. high 58F. Snow pack is taking a beating.Still have 6-8 inches in spots. Snow season looks to be done. Final total 72.7 inches. Great pic, really shows what's up at the higher elevations. Around here you need to get to about 850 feet for it to look like that. As long as it's shaded or north (ish) facing there is still anywhere from a coating to 8" in the woods, even open fields are still fully covered if the aspect is right. Unfortunately the crust has gone away so moving around in the forest is a chore but it looks like the next two mornings Crusty the Clown may just make a return visit for a few hours each day. That I'll take long before more snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith O Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Article in local paper here yesterday (from NJ State Climatologist) said that Sussex County averaged 56 inches of snow this winter which ranks it at #20 since 1894-95. The winter average for the county is 36.9 so a nice season all in all but far from the #1 mark of 98.5" in the epic Winter of 95-96. Areas to the south and east did much better compared to their norms and overall rankings than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
