That was the heaviest for the system. I never thought the roads would cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(March sun) Still cool w/the grass/trees getting plaster w/the wind....night time event would have been super cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 a bit OT but I would love to see some of the totals near Glen Falls NY. The one band that way looks insane. Have to be 2-3" rates in that. The regional radar right now looks beautiful. text book noreaster. this would have been historical if we had any cold air to tap into or already in place for the storm.

Still looks wicked out with the wind. We should all manage 1-3" on the grass if we keep this moderate snow level all afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing would have melted/wind/drifting...whiteout conditions. But it's March, I'll take it. Not bad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Berks county is the dividing line which most models had. Coating on the grass here but snow is letting up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Snow lightened up for a bit in East Stroudsburg, now it's heavy again. Visibility <1/4 mile. Winds continue to get stronger too. Lots of blowing snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Currently have almost 1/2" plastered on grass and cars and other cold surfaces although it is still melting underneath. Walks and streets are still clear. Temp down to 33F and SN. 10 minutes ago, The Iceman said: a bit OT but I would love to see some of the totals near Glen Falls NY.

The Iceman Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 storm just seems to be having ebbs and flows on this side of the storm. after returns kind of weakening the last hour, it looks like we are getting better returns to the north again the last few frames. I think we'll just fluctuate between heavy and mod all afternoon but the heavy is where we see most of our accumulation. awesome conditions outside regardless though. combo of snow and wind is just perfect. considering I wasn't confident we would even change over in time with the globals never jumping on board, this storm has delivered and we still have all afternoon to go. Most models didn't shut us off until 03z or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Driveways almost white (again). Streets are starting to gather strength.starting to stick in certain areas (again). It appears to be slightly colder snow...still coming down like hell but smaller flakes but sticking better than the earlier huge flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 i can't believe honestly that Mt Holly hasn't pulled the trigger on WWA yet. Conditions across the area in places that don't have one certainly warrant it. I mean redsky has 2 inches already and he doesn't have one. This isn't a slight at them I am just wondering what their reasoning is considering it is looking likely there are going to be areas that dont have a wwa currently that are going to see moderate to heavy snow all afternoon. even if roads don't cave the visibility is still dangerous. just surprised we haven't seen them yet is all.
