Heavy Wet Snow Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 13 minutes ago, Hitman said: Total of 9". Can't say I'm not a little disappointed but happy nonetheless. Looking good out there. How are roads down that way? finished with 11.1 here. Took a drive and Seems like a solid rock layer of slush on the roads here that they can't scrape off. Blowing snow not helping either. Even though snow has been long gone, I bet most schools in the Hudson valley are delayed or even some of the city schools like Mr Vernon and Yonkers closed tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Gorilla Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Pretty happy with this snowfall, not epic, but definitely more than I thought a few days ago. It is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't lie, I'm a little disappointed. Was hoping to get a solid foot, but honestly I shouldn't complain given the Winter we're in lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is beautiful. I was convinced up until like three days ago that this would be a little anafrontal wave shearing out to our south. I was hoping for double digits but still, it's our biggest storm in over two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for the big Kahuna later this month when we will look back on this and call it a mere tasty appetizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_parr1092 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 For anyone curious as to just how cold 15 degrees is, I went out to spread some salt on the walkway and my water bottle began to freeze after about 10 minutes.

It seems like with every storm, people get caught up in the crosshairs approach to snow growth and expect something like 18:1 ratios without looking into things like fragmentation and riming.

What mesoscale factors contribute to rimming and fragmentation? I know high wind does. What factors promote greater dendritic growth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
