IrishRob17 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 2.3" here as well, but I managed to stave off the snow until just after 4 pm. I think that means I win. Ok, ok, ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Whoops, I meant "sleet". I suppose that sort of ruined the effect. Oh well. Off to clear the driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 2.2" here. Pretty consistent with what most of us thought. Switched over to mostly freezing drizzle/light freezing rain now, temp of 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yikes!! Hope folks are taking it easy this evening. Anyone able to measure the ice?I didn't measure but I was just clearing snow from the Davis and was surprised at how much ice there is, nothing crazy but more than I expected.

gravitylover Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Weee fun drive home Not. Super wet with sh*t visibility. At least it's above freezing so it was just wet until I got to the last half mile where there was still a bunch of slush on the road. Tough to tell what I got here but it looks like it was about 2". What's the timing look like for the clipper on Tuesday? I want to make a run up to Albany to look at a used truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the timing look like for the clipper on Tuesday? I want to make a run up to Albany to look at a used truck. Maybe late morning? Looks like little more than scattered snow showers on the GFS. NAM is a little more robust, but we're 60 hours out. Check out the 1060 mb anticyclone dropping into the midwest from Canada on d3. Impressive.

snywx Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 This storm pretty much performed as forecasted for most up here.. 2-3" of snow followed by some icing. Side roads are still pretty slushy on this side. Temp holding steady between 32-33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chietanen Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I was surprised temps are still teetering around freezing, last I checked I was suppose to be climbing close to 38-40 by 7am this morning The meso models had been delaying the warm up when I checked last night. Looks like we still spike to 50, but probably not until after the rain tapers off, that's usually what happens in these cad situations. We may not see 32 degrees for at least a week after today.

I am sitting at 47 F. Checked some of the local reports, seems the lower elevations are still in the 30's. Mt Holly NWS indicated we get around a inch of snow Tuesday. Mid week looks cold.

hudsonvalley21 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 33 here with serious drippage from the ice covered trees, wires, etc. 34 here now with no ice. Point and click forecast has a high of 55 today. I think we bust on the low side. 06z NAM and GFS max out in the mid 40's today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'm up to 35, still lots of dripping out there from the ice but it's almost gone on the trees now. I think we may make it through with snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 We maxed out at a high of 52F. Current temp 51F. Mt Holly NWS is looking for outstanding snow ratios with the clipper. 20 to 1 is the call. Not expecing much up north. AS FAR AS THE CLIPPER GOES, WHILE THE PREDICTED 500MB TROF ISWEAKER, THE MODELS ON THE 12Z RUN FLIPPED THE PCPN EMPHASISFARTHER SOUTH IN OUR CWA. THIS SEEMS TIED TO BETTER MID LEVEL WAAAND THE LOCATION OF THE JET STREAK ALONG THE PCPN MAX AXIS. LATESTPMDHMD PREFERENCE IS NON-UKMET WITH THIS PACKAGE AND WE AREDISCOUNTING ITS MOST ROBUST QPF OUTPUT. WE ARE CLOSEST TO AGFS/ECMWF BLEND. WHILE THE COLD TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE IT EASYFOR THE SNOW TO STICK, HIGHER RATIOS ARE STILL A FUNCTIONALITY OFOMEGA AND SNOW GROWTH AREAS COINCIDING TO GET CLOSER OR EXCEED 20:1RATIOS. WE ARE NOT FINDING ANY OF OUR CWA IN THE CROSSHAIRS FORNOW. WE ALSO ARE NOT SEEING A DECREASE OF THETA E WITH HEIGHT ANDSO FAR THE PREDICTED FGEN IS LOOKING RATHER ORDINARY. FOR THISPACKAGE WE UPPED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FARTHER SOUTH AND KEPT THE NORTHCLOSE TO THE SAME, A RATHER RUN OF THE MILL (OPEN MOUTH, INSERTFOOT) 1 TO 3 INCH CLIPPER FORECAST FROM AROUND THE MASON-DIXONLINE EASTWARD AND NORTHWARD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Took all day, but I finally spiked to near 50 a little while ago, temps starting to drop back down now. Spent the day working on my rink, it's filling as I type (going on 9 hours now, thank goodness my water is cheap!). Hope to be skating by Wednesday or Thursday. Not expecting much from the clipper. I think the bigger story this week is the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Definitely looks to get a bit brisk this week, though I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of these CAA-driven arctic blasts; if models are overestimating the cold aloft by a couple degrees, our overnight lows turn pedestrian real fast. I'll take a calm, clear, snow-adorned radiational cooling night over -3SD 850 mb temps any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you but I also can't lie, I like the squally look to the clouds to the north and west and some of which have been dropping the occasional flurry here today. I'd prefer an actual squall but you gotta take whats thrown at ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
