IsentropicLift Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Special Marine Warnings down in the Chesapeake Bay for wind gusts up to 35kts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4alb Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sort of off topic but most of the general public doesn't know the difference between sleet, hail or freezing rain. Most assume it's all the same thing. Being where we are, it is very difficult to get freezing rain situations on the south shore and east end. So when it does happen, it is a complete and total disaster. People can be warned about it and they just ignore the warnings. I have spoken to several people already today about the possibility of ice accumulation and the basic response was "yeah right". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Rjay- sorry for kind of off topic but I am following your observations to make a decision if I should leave the city early and head back to island. I'm at the north end of seaford fairly close to you. 29.5 and freezing rain in North Merrick. 32.5 in Amityville (temp rose a little at work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Sleet starting to win out now here. Did you ever flip to freezing rain there or did you go from sleet right to rain earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 You reporting from home or work brother? From work. I'm probably snowing at home given that others in that area have reported a flip back to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Getting every additional inch of snow out of this storm is like pulling teeth. 1/4" per hour stuff since 5 am... brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Did you ever flip to freezing rain there or did you go from sleet right to rain earlier? Around 4/430am flipped from heavy snow to sleet then quickly to rain. Then temps dropped again and back to freezing rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have about a 0.1" glaze on everything here in the Edison area and even paved surfaces are starting to freeze up. I'd appreciate if you could keep me updated on the conditions there. Debating if I should leave work from NYC early.

Reminds me of last year with all these events. Some are powder and others are just wet slop. Typical 40n winter this year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty funny that this is happening 4 years to the day of our last Ground Hog mixed mess. This could have really been a contender for major pure snow had the block been more west based or the storm less amped. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/StormEvents/storm02022011.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastonSN+ Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Question. In Easton CT we had around 6.5 this morning. Now switching back to snow.
