snywx Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah same here.. After the T-day storm we've only had 1-3 " events which is def not snowblower worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah same here.. After the T-day storm we've only had 1-3 " events which is def not snowblower worthy. I would only use the blower if got 3-4 inches most likely. Figure my driveway 250-350 feet maybe. not sure how long my drive way is exactly, will measure tomorrow but takes be 20 minutes(at me age) to shovel with minimum snow.

Animal Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 temp has dropped to 9 F. January is expected to be cold, but this cold snap has been decent. Burning 25- 50 logs a day recently in the fire place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning 25- 50 logs a day recently in the fire place. 14 here. It's been interesting with these small snow events and cold air to watch how much snow we lose daily through sublimation.

chietanen Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nice crisp winter day. Got a good amount of skating and sledding in with the kids. We got these Zipfy sleds, they are awesome! Down to 15 now, should get down to about 5 tonight. Anyone check the models today? What a depressing set of runs! Very little snow this week upcoming, then we thaw (or even torch) heading into MLK day. Hopefully it's not prolonged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chietanen Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 So the wife and daughter like the propane heater? Got them both out last night for at least an hour! It was a warmish night though, we'll see what happens tonight! It throws off a lot of heat, I think it's 40,000 BTU. I wish I had invested in one sooner.

xram Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah the same thing happened here for Minisink Valley. Initially they had a 2 hr delay but cancelled school soon after. Having 2 boys 8 & 3 in the house at the same time is rough man lol. I almost went to work begging for OT Lol...Those days are behind me. I have a daughter in 9th grade and a daughter and son in college. Enjoy them while you can....time goes by fast. Currently 15/-3 here. Still looking like a snow day for the kids Monday. More worried about ice than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I just looked at my snowfall totals for this season which stands at 13.0". January snowfall total is currently 4.7" which is spot on average, right to the tenth, for me for this point in January. That said, after a big November I was well below average for December so for the season I'm currently 1.9" below average for this point in the season.

chietanen Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 There are some interesting people/personalities in this (NYC Metro) subforum. Anyone who needs to take (or, for that matter, give) life lessons from a weather forum might want to seek professional help. Back to the weather, ended up with a low of 9 last night, a little warmer than expected. Just enough cloud cover and a bit of a breeze to keep me from dropping lower. Looks like tomorrow is turning more into slop than anything. Then a boring stretch for a bit. The warm-up is looking like it could be rather muted, at least based on last nights model runs (though the Euro ensembles still look like more of a torch vs the OP run). We'll see if it holds today. Great pictures, btw, Matt, thanks for sharing them. Looks like a nice rink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrick Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Very cool. Interesting Monday shaping up so far - haven't checked latest guidance, but think we're good for a sleetfest this way...one can only hope.

White Gorilla Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Another day of school delays or closings. Really messes up my work schedule and I lose money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Another day of school delays or closings. Really messes up my work schedule and I lose money! It will be really interesting to see what happens in the morning. I'm sure we changeover to rain at some point, but the question is how much snow/ice do we get before that? It will probably be a nowcast type of thing. Not sure what the schools will do. My kids have already had 2 snow days, one was for freezing rain and rain in early December, and the other was Friday when they converted a 2 hour delay into a closing.

gravitylover Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 By the time I got to the bottom of the hill it was just rain and the roads were just wet everywhere. The amount of salt on the roads all the way to downtown un Soho is unbelievable, it looks like a layer of sleet everywhere Can someone please call up a good tropical style gullywasher ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
