Should keep snowing for a couple more hours until the flow gets too much of a westerly component and the valley can't channel it south anymore.

Not far off from heaviest of storm. Only thing is, we had about 20 mins where the sun peaked thru and the roads got down to wet pavement. Looks like April outside. Pouring snow but main roads just wet and trees, driveways and snow piles rapidly accumulating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It's dumping again. Wind is finally coming down a bit so maybe, just maybe, I can blow expectations completely out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The wind is ripping here, I can see clearing to my west now moving in. I'm too far west to get in on the Hudson Valley band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 13.5 inches and it just continues. Every time you think it's ending a new green blob grows over eastern orange, Dutchess, putnam and northern westechetser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you at total in croton? I'm in Yorktown, nearing 9 inches. Thought there would be more south. Saw white plains reporting over a foot and tarrytown nearing 11. Radar pretty good over westchester right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Man it's cold out. Wind chill probably approaching zero at times. Something I didn't think about is that there was a slushy layer underneath all the powder from warm pavement temps, and as I cleared it, the slush just flash froze into a sheet of ice. I live on a steep hill so my driveway is pretty much out of commission until the sun hopefully helps things tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yep that lower warm layer sucked to shovel up and then froze solid after the insulating layer was removed. I just used a bunch of sand to cover it, hopefully Julian is right and the sun does some damage to it tomorrow. I measured in a dozen spots and came up within an inch either side of 12 in most of them. Strangely enough car tops were less but that was probably due to the wind. Calling it at 12" final after an hour of settling after last flake fell. I expect it should have been more like 14" but the warm ground melted/compacted a fair bit from underneath.
