White Gorilla Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Whether one has 18 inches or 24 inches, you won't be able to tell much of a difference, especially with the snow drifting and blowing around like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Nothing but pixie dust the last 3 hours, other than a brief shower of pingers. Killed the totals. 15" otg. Had a 3 hour bust of good heavy snow. my son just texted me pic of his parking lot at Binghamton. Buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Point, NY Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I never got good snow growth. Every time it looked like it was coming, it backed down to smaller sized flakes . Even in the city before the flip, they had silver dollar parachutes. Not a one here. I'd surely be over 2' with even average sized flakes. Glad I went out and got the first foot of fluff with the blower this morning. Whats out there now is twice as heavy and dense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Point, NY Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I think we were ultimately screwed by thr 700 mb low. Had it tracked into SW CT instead of over the HV, we wouldn't have dealt with the dry slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Gorilla Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 This is one heck of a storm and no way am I going to be down because Bingham jackpotted and we got "screwed" by a very west track. God, most of us have between 1--2 feet with the entire landscape looking like the tundra. Deep snow everywhere with high drifts. I am absolutely thrilled!

gravitylover Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm so disappointed and thoroughly exhausted. I got between 12-14 before the flip to sleet at 11am and it's still sleeting. There is easily 4-5" of pure sleet and this stuff is back breaking to move. I spent 2 hours on the plow pile and the drift behind it and only got halfway across the driveway because it was one load at a time and toss it onto head hig snowbanks. Thankfully the neighbors plow guy took pity on me and moved the last half as he cleared a slot by the mailboxes. The entire 80' length of my driveway is head to overhead high banks. Unfortunately it's still sleeting heavily so I'm far from done clearing this stuff and the town plow is bound to come by again because the street is impassable to anything with less than 8" clearance and AWD/4WD, there are even 2 Subarus stuck further down the street. I never expected so much sleet out of this storm, totally wrecked my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella keeps popping I wonder how you guys out west keep seeing her redevelop and nothing can even last to be a spritzer when it gets just 20 miles east in Rockland. Nothing falling from the sky currently. The straight dryness since 1130 has left a sour taste in what was a good storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you be 15 minutes west of me and have nothing coming down for the last 5 hours? I've had pure sleet/frzdz since 11am. Wanna see a mess? C'mon over.

I snow blowed at 230 and my driveway is still bare. About 1/2 inch of pellets /dust since 2. Prob about 1.5 inches of sleet and dust on top of the 13 inches of snow I had. I'm telling you it has been bone dry here since 230. I think hitman can vouche for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hmmph I'm still accumulating sleet and frozen grains at about 1/2"/hr with about 3-350 foot visibility. This stuff is coming down in sheets and packing in so dense it hurts to move it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, I'm about 5-6 miles NW of you in Garrison (450 ft elevation) we have been been getting consistent sleet and small grain snow on howling wind for the last 3 hrs. Probably 1.5-2" new in that time. Total so far is roughly 18-20" depending on measurement spot. Drifting is intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got lucky here on the western side of the county. It lightened up somewhat but never mixed Without a doubt. We went to a mostly sleet with some snow mix for two hours. I'm sure I lost at least 3 inches of snow from that. At 19.5 now, I just want to break that 20. I haven't seen that since the Valentines Day 2014 storm. I know this sounds greedy but who gives a sh!t, if this was 50 miles east we get our 30+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
