Good for the Capital District, as I recall they are long over sure for a decent hit. I believe this system is moving way to fast for anyone to see a big hit , as per radar it flew through Ohio!

Yeah, that’s why I said a decent hit and not a big one, subjective, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 It's cold and sort of snowing. I say sort of because it's really loud so it's more pellets than flakes. 24/NE/-SN. Too bad it's going to change I didn't feel a quake but my dogs sure did. They were up and grumbling and dancing around the house for a few minutes.

All snow here, falling at a moderate clip, with the occasional large flakes mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 USGS has it M2.2 at 6.2km deep. Basically no chance of feeling that up here, but still cool to see. Maybe foreshock of something more substantial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowfall intensity has been varying widely the last 30 minutes or so. The wind has definitely taken more of an ESE component to it but the temp is still stable at ~22*. Approaching 2" otg now.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I would like to thank everyone on this thread for referencing the place of the accident this morning as the TZ Bridge, which is what it will always be called by 90% of the people in this area despite the stupid politicians forcing a name change down our throats, as if they paid for the bridge out of their own personal accounts. With that said I hope I'm on the banter thread because I realize that had nothing to do with weather. 24.4 with sleet now. There I covered myself.

I still call it the TZ out of habit and because people lose their ever-loving minds if you don't, but I think a lot of us get too worked up over the silly name change. Almost nobody calls local river crossings by their official names... if someone told you they were debating whether it's quickest to use the Hamilton Fish Bridge, the FDR Bridge, or the George Clinton Memorial Bridge to get to the Thruway, you'd look at them like they were a lunatic. That said, sometimes the new names catch on relatively quickly after construction of a new span, like how the Cooper River Bridge in Charleston, SC became almost universally referred to as the Arthur Ravenel Bridge in under a decade. We may well be jumping across the ol' Cuomo before the 2020s are through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasiluvsnow Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 so right now I have 29 degrees an RAIN falling anyone care to guess how long we get freezing rain or ice in new city ? The radar would seem to indicate for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Woohoo rain at 25* I couldn't decide what was better, to leave the snow on the driveway and let the rain turn the top into a sheet then scrape it off when it was all over or scrape it down first so it would be black underneath so the sun could do it's job tomorrow. I decided to scrape and make a pile that would survive the rain and freeze into a long lasting block of white ice. Hopefully I don't crash and burn if I go out tonight or tomorrow morning.
