ForestHillWx Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just returned home to Chester, roads were not great. Snow is falling a moderate rate. This should be the final push out my way. Eyeballing 5". A win in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly what some mets called for in our area. You always hope you'll be in the lucky bands ( Boxing Day comes to mind, as does the later Jan storm that winter which dumped 19 on us ) but often you're not but it was still a good storm.

You win some, you fringe on some. We've had our share of high-impact historic events. I'm sure we'll probably have another (maybe even this winter) within the next few winters.

Be interesting to see how the bayside of places like Fire Island do with all the GSB ice getting blown ashore. The docks and piers could take a real beating. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=okx&gage=mtkn6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me I wouldn't mind several of these rather than one big one, but either one works for me....we are more than halfway to seasonal average if you throw in the Dec events, no?

Zelocita Weather Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Around 6" with a very impressive storm. Most impressive combination of wind and snow probably since boxing day, although the amounts here were only 20%-25% as much. Happy the storm went from 'what storm' to a blizzard in 3-4 days....

It was, doubleheaders of fat flounder all 2 lbs or more. We caught sacks full, took em back to Jersey and sold a lot of em. People used to ask us for more.

gravitylover Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It's still snowing but I think it's more blowing than snowing. The roads are absolutely horrible around town, car parts scattered all over, cars stuck in the middle of Rt 6, big branches down all over, drifts across the roads bumper deep on my Durango, geniuses pushing plow piles from driveways and lots into the street and leaving them there for the big plows to push away and just general chaos and mayhem. I'm calling it at 6" because it's pretty well impossible to measure due to the wind but I won't be surprised to see reports of 8", that band meant business and sat over us for nearly two hours. This storm won't be remembered around here so much for the accumulations as for the overall impact, nearly everything in town is closed and several neighboring towns called a SOE. Considering my expectations of 3 to maybe as much as 5" I'm certainly not disappointed but would have loved to have that band set up over me rather than the two long duration passes it made 15 miles south and east of me where I expect to see 9<>10" reports.
