It seems to me that with the whole area being a solid block of ice and the streets, sidewalks and everything else being frozen several inches down any liquid that falls has the potential to freeze especially with ALL of the drainages and storm drains filled with ice and ice banks right up to the edge of the traffic lanes keeping whatever falls in the traffic lanes. I foresee a difficult time ahead. The layer of ice on the snow is pretty thick and will be carrying this 1-2" of rain with tonights event to low lying areas without draining into the ground. I went out and punched some holes in the ice in the yard to have some of the rain being absorbed into the snow under the ice. Also chopped some ice off the roofline to have the rain stay in the gutters instead of running over. Then back to below freezing Thursday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 There's ice on the edges of the Delaware south of Trenton. Saw it this morning on my drive south. Btw...toaster bathes are in demand in the main forum. I've seen it bad before, but this year is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it is if the lack of snowfall is causing one that much angst then their life much be pretty charmed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, though I will say there are definitely times when you are genuinely having a rough go of it and facing real problems in real life, and it ends up being some silly, inconsequential thing that pushes you over the edge. I'm sure most people are merely being overly dramatic, you just never know. Besides, I fail to see the issue. Everyone I regularly converse with here has full snowcover. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycemt123 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 check the zipper on your trousers! I kid, I skied a run yesterday after taking a tinkle in the woods and neglected to zip up my ski pants. it was quite chilly.That's probably not the ideal frostbite case the ER would like to have to manage Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good point about something silly that could trigger someone. For myself, I know that I did not get full enjoyment of some winter weather in years past because of personal bullshit I had to deal with at the time. Those days, and that tramp are long gone LOL. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Boy it's wet out there. I'm thinking I need to go downstairs and make sure there's nothing on the floor that will get damaged by water. If this glacier melts off today, which is starting to appear likely, the basement is sure to get wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I see that KSWF broke into the 50s in the 4am hour while KMGJ didn’t break into the 50s until the 7am hour, not the first time I’ve seen that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the southern winds blowing up the Hudson River canyon. The mountains by the West Point/Highland Mills areas put up a blocker for your area to the west.

Juliancolton Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I love microclimate stuff like this. KPOU has already touched 59F between hours. The daily record of 63 appears to be safe, as the front is not far off now. As far as cutter torches go, this one is really short-lived... though it was more than enough to erase the pack in my 'hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 1.62” here for the total. While I was just out emptying the Stratus the sound of the ice flowing and breaking up on the Wallkill is sure to get ones attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Gorilla Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Well, I enjoyed the pack while it lasted a whopping 4 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 I really didn't expect that glacier to disappear so quickly. I watched it happen and I still can't quite believe it. I'm so glad my basement stayed dry, I guess the ground stayed frozen enough. I'm afraid that when it does thaw things are going to get messy though. At least it's back below freezing now.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So the best this winter can give is 4 days of a beautiful winter landscape? Wiped away by a raging rainstorm and temps in the 50's in one day. A frozen snow pack with a LE of 1.5 inches should not be wiped away in the course of 12 hours. That is not suppose to happen in January. Just when you think this winter can't get any worse it tops itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least IMBY, once you punched through the top 1/2" of crust, the snow underneath was rather powdery still. It would have been nice to keep it around as a base for the next one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
