NepaJames8602 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Ended up with just shy of 3" here in the Poconos, and a crisp 20 degrees. Was surprised to wake up to that as well. That elevation I now have, really helped with accumulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Getting cold in a hurry now. Doesn't it figure, the last great meteor shower of the year and we're gonna get skunked again. I'm making a goal of seeing a few next year so if anyone wants to take a ride and chase clear viewing weather let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 LOL How quickly is it going to warm up in the morning? I need to get out for a ride and it ought to be pretty good while it's still frozen in the morning. Anyone wanna come play with bikes in the woods?

IrishRob17 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Still snow at my stakes this morning, impressive. Looks like most will be gone tomorrow morning, can't complain about 13 days with snow cover though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Snow mud snow mud... Not so sure I'm liking this winter so far and if what some of the guys in the main forum are talking about is true it's looking like more mud than anything else for the next few weeks. Is there an upside to today being 9* below predictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-day rainstorms around the shortest daylight hours of the year are atrocious. Making some headway on temp, at least. 34F now. Same as it ever was. Pretty remarkable that not enough halfway through December, many of us are already well average on the month for both rain *and* snow. Active pattern, to be sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Add another .25" since 5am. No more snow and even my big driveway pile ought to be gone in a few more hours. I literally spent an extra half hour or so moving all of the snow from the driveway to one sheltered spot in the bushes and got the pile about 3 feet high hoping to save it. I think I've lost it a little bit after having to sit out last winter and watch from the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I still have scattered snow around the yard and plenty of piles but officially zero at the stake this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep you beat me to it. The consecutive days with snow OTG streak ends at 13 today. I'm hoping we start a new streak on Tuesday. I'd like to believe the Euro's 6-8 inches for Monday night but a very iffy setup and lots of mid level warming, so I'm doubting it for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I find it hard to believe that in this setup ratios would be higher than 10:1. Maybe on the initial thump they will be though. I never get my hopes up for these setups, the changeover to frozen seems to happen earlier too often, later in the event less often, or not at all not enough for my liking. It will be interesting to see what the afternoon runs say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Counting of anything from this upcoming event is just setting yourself up to be let down. miserable out. Socked in with fog. Smoke from wood burning stove lingering in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Yeah that's some serious fog, looks like about 250 maybe 300 feet out my front window. So what, 1" of snow, .5" of sleet then rain or nothing? Setting my expectations low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The latest GFS is almost entirely freezing rain for most here, ending as light snow. The trend has been for a slightly tighter circulation and as a result we get a northerly low-level flow throughout the event, supplying the fresh cold air source necessary for an ice storm. My annual reminder that ice accretes on elevated surfaces (everything that isn't the ground) at about 0.75:1 on average so you need to be especially careful with modeled freezing rain totals which, as far as I know, still assume 1:1.

gravitylover Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 I'm getting the feeling that I should pull the generator out today and make sure it's good to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRVTS Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 .8 inches of ZR.? with no thawing all week? That is a disaster if it occurs. Esp because the nyseg trucks have not been mobilized like in past storms in preparation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't work, I'm not getting another one by midnight tonight anyway 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
