Bobby Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 About 5" of snow before a change to SLT/FR. Never went to all rain. Over .25" of ice on anything not treated or that isn't moving. Currently 26.2 on my VP2. lights flickered 3x since about 10:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friedmators Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 29.6 degrees here in Edison. Sort of unsure on snowfall, somewhere between 3-4" I think before changeover. If this next slug of moisture is ZR as well, icing will become a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Well we're moderate snow here now with big fat flakes, ping pong ball variety, we'll see how long this lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 About 2 inches of CONCRETE in Central Long Island. Freezing rain covered my car when I came in to work around 11am. Currently heavy sleet and freezing rain - watching the tree branches slowly droop more and more. Currently 31F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nice hold on the N shore . You will snow again later after FRZ Yep as usual we never flipped. Smithtown, San Remo, Kings Park, Fort Salonga and Northport are a snow/ice zone on the N Shore that usually bucks the "Norm" for LI. Getting really bad at this point. Tree branches sagging significantly and crackling with every wind gust. That slug of FRZ isn't going to help. Also think we could see 2-4" of SN on the backside making things very dangerous tonight.

NorthShoreWx Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It has been sleeting here and the temperature is down to 24. We may be dodging a bullet with respect to an ice storm. There is roughly 0.1" ice accretion. Precip has become very light in the past few minutes and is currently light ice pellets mixed with a little freezing drizzle. Hopefully any heavier precip will now be sleet (or snow later) and we might get away with only a light icing event. Snowdepth, which was down to 11" before the snow started is now at 14"...looks like a nice solid net gain as a few of my island homeys were predicting (I was expecting something similar as well).

ag3 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Almost .20" of precip as snow on the latest RAP for NYC and LI. Coast should capitalize in a short while as the coastal takes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 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. Do I remove the old snow and count the 2 measurements or just one final at the end including the compaction? No i'd clear and count the 2 measurments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar here, but some of the weight sagging the tree branches is snow, which is now crusted with ice. Of course it should be similar here. I think we are about 3 miles apart.

Bill I'm surprised you've only seen that much ice. This picture was taken at 8am and we have probably doubled what is on the branches at this point. Pretty significant icing over here.

wthrmn654 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Tried uploading ice photos but I'd say we easily have 2/4" ice or more already also, another accident on expressway,tractor trailer rolled over 3rd accident so far that I know of ppb expressway in past hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Almost .20" of precip as snow on the latest RAP for NYC and LI. Coast should capitalize in a short while as the coastal takes over. Mid-level temps are still going to be too warm to produce good ratios. I wouldn't expect anything more than 6:1. So your 0.20" LE is probably only an inch or two. It's been flipping here between flurries and moderate snow for about 45 minutes and isn't accumulating. And the surface here is down into the low 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx 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. Do I remove the old snow and count the 2 measurements or just one final at the end including the compaction? I think it is ok to clear in this situation. There was an accumulation of snow and then a phase change for an extended period. You would measure the greatest depth of snow and sleet during that combined period. If there is subsequently another period of snowfall, I'd measure that separately and add the total of the 2 measurements for the day. On the other hand, if it snowed 6" overnight, then stopped for a few hours, then snowed another 6" during the afternoon and the greatest new snow depth was 10", then you would report 10" as the day's snowfall (not 12"). You might want to confirm with someone like Ray Martin; I am not 100% sure, but I think the phase change thing is handled differently as I mentioned above. These days, the official standard for wiping a board in most instances is once per day and reporting the greatest depth prior to wiping as the snowfall. I think that it is not uniformly applied, even across first order climate stations, so it is understandable that there is a lot of confusion out there about how to measure snow. The irony is, I think they changed form the wipe no more than every 6 hours standard to reduce confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
