JetsPens87 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 We made out VERY well here... and with a tremendous sunset to boot. Compacted a lot during the day today but I think this backs up my totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_other_guy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I’m Surprised I had to shovel in Hastings. Seems like wet snow that froze to a crusty cover as the temperature is now 27. 1 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at work in Grest Neck 200' elevation. This pic was taken out my window at 9:45. It snowed hard for 2 hours after this. Melting some. Is that it stopped. Driving up here was brutal at the height of it. Mostly because people are morons. Welcome to the board and thanks for posting. Just curious, what's with the water bottle?

Did not see its like again until 83; then all the way to 96 ( March 93 was wicked but was more of ten inch ice and sleet storm here ) since 2001 well you know the rest.....my kids think huge blizzards are common....

Judging by the well written and intentioned statement above, a lot of us will be taking remedial obs. 101 in summer school. On the other hand we may have finally found out who mentored the Central Park measure crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Some folks are obviously more accustomed to driving in winter weather than others, but I think it's fair to say that any accumulation of snow on roadways reduces traction and slows down traffic. The first inch or two usually makes for the most difficult conditions, whereas driving in deep snow is fairly easy in comparison. Maybe that's just my perception?

Looking for a nice snowy foreground I think I'm going to hit up Mohonk for sunrise. The pitch pines always catch and hold snow very well due to the stiff needles and rigid branches that don't sway much in the wind. A repeat of this from 2015 would be nice.

BIG difference between north and south shore Nice!! Pretty similar to what we had on the UWS. The north shore is a whole different climate from the south shore for many reasons, snow being just one.

The snow cover really didn’t start until great neck. So it really was confined to just that area Drove from Commack to Bayside yesterday morning. Was a light dusting of snow in my area in the morning, which continued along the northern state Pkwy in the hills until about exit 38. From exit 38 to the Wantagh there was no snow. Starting at the Wantagh, there was a light dusting all the way along the NSP until the Queens line, when there was clearly a bit more snow. From the Cross island north to Bayside there was maybe 1/2" of snow on the side of the road. Didnt see any areas with close to an inch, but i was not in Great Neck so i cant speak for there. I will say that GN has its own micro-climate. I lived in Albertson for years and when we would visit our cousins in GN they would always have more snow on the ground, and did exceptionally well in marginal events, which is to be expected given its far NW location and hilly terrain.
