Radders Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 LOL looks like another storm where the heavier precipitation will struggle to get north, that is of course, until it is too warm to snow, and then watch it flood us with heavy rain. Can't even score a good result with a front-end thump event that we normally specialize in. Watch NYC and LI get 2-3" while we look at 1" and an icy mess. So funny, what a meh winter.

Stringing together consecutive subzero nights might be the crowning achievement in an otherwise lackluster winter. Anyhow, looking at recent runs of the HRRR, it definitely shows some cold air damning in the valleys overnight, so we might go right from snow to ice then to dryslot until the next round moves in as rain.

Yes, more likely than not it is an icy mess and we dry slot. Tends to be how these things go. Every time it has snowed this year, it has been like watching a worn out engine choke and splutter. It can never seem to get it's act together. Roll on spring. I am with IrishRob.. I look forward to grass greening up, warmer days, and tracking the forsythia bloom!

I look forward to grass greening up, warmer days, and tracking the forsythia bloom! You know you can cut the forsythia, bring them in, put them in water and in a couple weeks, they will bloom. It definitely gives a nice spring like feel to the house. I am totally fine with spring too. I said about 10 days ago that if we didn't have anything significant by 2/15, that I was closing the shades on this winter. I got a nice cold weekend to use my backyard rink which is the one thing I really wanted prior to a warm-up. I do have to get to Newburgh Brewing, though, to try their Spruce saison. I was a big fan of their spruce porter last winter, and I think this is their follow-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've been saying bring spring since the last 60* day in December. Having my kitchen pipes frozen for the last 36 hours was the final straw. #STFU16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Upton bumped up totals.. Updated 1:32PM Interesting. I was just about to post that I'm not seeing much inroads on the radar into the HV. The ENE trajectory isn't to promising right now. I suppose I'll have to trust the models and actually believe it will snow moderately here at some point today. I mean when have the models ever steered us wrong?

White Gorilla Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Upton bumped up totals.. Updated 1:32PMDon't believe this one bit. By the time the heavier precipitation gets here, it will be sleet. Just watch. Will be lucky to get an inch of snow up here Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Would it surprise anyone if the moderate to heavy snow that has been going on for several hours in parts of NJ just slides out to our south? Is it possible we get shafted again? The more I watch the radar the more I'm expecting it. Am I just not thinking cleariy because of post traumatic snow disorder, brought on by the continuous shaftings we've had this year in the HV?

It seems to support your idea of the heavier snow washing out as it heads north. Not sure I buy it, but it would fit the seasonal trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've got moderate snow falling now. I haven't been outside in a few hours but I bet that after a few hours of freezing drizzle and now this my driveway is probably a skating rink. I'm actually looking forward to taking the garbage out later, until then Rum and Cokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Def going to be the case, there's a reason the city is still forcasted 1-3 and we hold on for hours more than them, they get heavier snows imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
