gravitylover Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I saw 9° at about 6am, it's up to 10 now. Pretty sunrise through the ice this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Only got down to 10.9° which did not even beat the 8.8° on December 8. Received 0.4 inches of snow from the squalls yesterday bringing the seasonal and monthly total to 14.8 Between the snow and ice on the ground can I technically call today a day with snow cover. The NWS defines that as a day with 1 inch or more on the ground.I have an inch of a combination of ice and snow but barely. Do I nee toI go to the replay booth? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I wouldn't call what I have on the ground 1" but there's no way it shouldn't count as snow cover IMO. I was actually thinking about that yesterday and decided I'm going to call it good. That means I have 14 days of snow cover this month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North and West Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Looks like it's going to quiet for a while, so I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! I assume we'll be quiet here over the next week or so. We've had a nice snowstorm so far in Morris County, an additional whitening, an ice storm, an arctic front with squalls, and some cold; all before Christmas! A nice start and fun to watch! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 UKMET making a run for -10F tonight, let's do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepaJames8602 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 A chilly 7 degrees here in my part of the Poconos currently. Also, I picked up about 2" total from yesterday's squalls. Very wintry feel tonight, that's for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Haven't gotten to single digits yet this winter. 10 spot yesterday morning; 14 currently. Trees are still covered in ice from Monday/Tuesdays storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 This cold snap has been a bit of a fail. Seasonably chilly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 I dunno, I dropped below 10* yesterday and just about got there again this morning. I guess that's mostly normal but it sure does feel significant when you're out in it. Looks like it's going to be more tolerable for the next week or so after tonight which will be nice. It will be nice to see those warmer temps next week to get rid of some of this ice, walking out the front and back doors of my house is a sketchy endeavour at the moment.

It's pretty much impossible to walk anywhere that's not treated pavement now that there have been a felt thaw/freeze cycles... especially as you can no longer dig your heels in. The slightest grade requires microspikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Still a tiny trace of ice/sleet/snow at my stake but not enough to count for today so the latest streak of cover is now done IMBY. Still a fair amount of white in shaded areas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'll say it so nobody else has to... sunny and AN is actually pretty nice for Christmas week. You're welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm good with it like this Still some cover in shady areas and a bunch of water ice that's gonna take some real warmth to make that go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Wall to wall winter just ain’t happening so may as well deal with it. Still some random ice around and on the lakes. happy holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could deal with a longer winter if we could actually get rid of the cold and rainy April into May stretches that have also become common.

gravitylover Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 So what are the chances we ice before this is over? It's only 37 and that's 4 lower than forecast so I'm thinking it won't be long after sunset before the cold enough is here rather than early AM like I"m seeing.

gravitylover Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Didn't even make it to sunset. I'm looking forward to a storm where what falls is quiet and the only noise is the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The soggy, half-frozen ground is a real pain in the arse for the fireworks show I'm doing tonight. Most 1.4g pyro devices just have paper or cardboard bases so they wick moisture right up into the clay plugs and then it gets dangerous. Tarps aplenty I guess.

gravitylover Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 And we bid adieu to the '19 thread It was a challenging year for me but things are looking good going forward. Thanks for listening to some of my shit early in the year when I was kind of wrecked and in a tough spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
