I'm surprised at some of the lakes melting off and not recovering their ice through this cold snap. A couple of the local stations got down below 5* this morning but most seem to have been around 8*. Surprisingly cold for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I've been really surprised by the lack of ice growth this week. It's been plenty cold and mostly still (3F this morning here). I guess the incoming solar energy this time of year balances out the FDDs. And count me as interested in the gtg as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 So we're looking at a little bit of snow tomorrow night huh? Of course I have to be out and drop my daughter off at 6am Sunday morning for a ski trip to VT with a group from her college. At least there won't be anyone else out there at that time. How much are we looking at? edit: blah just an inch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Beautiful out. Solid 4" pack remaining. Birds chirping at the feeder. Sun doing some work on the southern facing roofs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Pretty much full-on mud season around here in any place that gets even a moment of direct sunlight. Still some snow if you go deep enough into the woods. At sunny and 45F today, even the most secluded walking/hiking spots were crowded... always funny on days like today when you pass one person on the trail in full winter gear – scarf, down jacket, gloves – and the next in shorts and a tee.

gravitylover Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'm still near 100% coverage on areas that aren't in direct sun for the better part of the day, IOW anything that's not south facing is still fully covered with 4-8" of sloppy sugary snow. I think the wet stuff incoming tonight and tomorrow will break it up and the warm days this week will make it go away. Stuff that is melted off is serious mud which makes me think that anything not paved will be hands (feet) off for a while after melt off. Surprisingly the lakes that are still frozen appear to be well frozen, the ones that started to melt off recently are losing their ice quickly now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I took one of my south facing hill it would be dead grass. 5” at my stake this morning though but it wasn’t solid snow cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 @IrishRob17 lol at the agenda, that's what it looks like here too. So what's the deal for tonight/tomorrow morning? Ice, sleet, rain or a bit of each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I had a round of heavy sleet around 4:15 but it looks to be rain now, temp is up to 34 here and 35 in Danbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Flipped from warm to cold and turned to moderate bordering on heavy snow. Wind is way up at least here on the hill. I have to go drive to Danbury now so will have a better idea of what's going on when I get home around 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 1.1”, sleeting here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Well that was fun. It snowed hard for the drive over there and for a few minutes while I was there then it flipped to heavy sleet a few inutes after 6:30 and stayed that way for about a half hour. By the time I got home a few minutes after 7 it had pretty much stopped then started raining a few minutes later. We had 1/2" of dense slickery stuff before it changed over and then I fell asleep, it's all rain now. Dreary day... @DRVTS what's happening up in your area?

Juliancolton Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Ice on my pond is still holding tough with almost complete coverage. Meanwhile some of the bigger lakes are wide open, and I saw a dude fishing (probably merely casting and fully resigned to that fact) yesterday from the shore. There really is no rhyme or reason for it as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I visited my other home (in the Poconos) over the weekend and there's 10"-15" on the ground over there and it's very heavy and hard to move. I didn't even attempt to shovel my driveway there and just parked on the road and went inside to make sure everything was fine (I only stay in that house during the warm season.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 It still looks and feels like late winter out there this morning. Make it go away please I went for a 3 mile walk on the beach on Fire Island yesterday with y wife and one of our daughters and it felt so good to be out there but it would have been even better if we didn't need to be so bundled up. I love the beach this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly not complaining about a gradual progression into spring. It's a bit interesting that we're now into top 30 longest runs without hitting 70 degrees at POU. If the 18z GFS verified and we got there for the first time on March 28, that would be good for 15th place at 168 days. Average first 70F day is March 30, so even though it's the 384 hour GFS, it's a good a guess as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
