I'm getting tired of waiting for the damage to begin. I keep a jug of gas ready to go into the generator and the heavy duty cord ready to go. While sleet is a big pain in the butt to deal with the ice on top of it has been a real winning combination 1 minute ago, Juliancolton said: Monster sleet. Boom! Yeah man that's huge.

weatherpruf Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 A little icy here this morning but should melt off quickly as the sun comes up. Believe it or not much of the snow pack, such as it is, remained intact. Expecting that to be gone by late noon. Gonna do an early morning walk in the park and enjoy it while its here.

wdrag Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Wantage NJ 8 s High Point. 1.3" final. nice glaze but no power outages. 31.8F at 627AM. Thanks for all the observation posts. Will add a graphic later this afternoon summarizing the snowfall via NOHRSC. Posting another graphic on Feb thread, unless there is a March thread already.

IrishRob17 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 .8” snow with .3” ice/sleet accretion on top, sitting at 32 currently. It’s a little challenging clearing off the cars this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 .2-.3" ice on everything. What a mess. Again Hope for no wind until it warms up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternLI Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Riverhead, this event delivered 1.1" before the rain/drizzle. Thankfully not much in the way of ice. That makes it 6.8" for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdrag Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 A few notes: On branches. It is only my experience, but I think you need about .50 radial ice to crash the branches. Many utilities I think use 0.25 radial ice. I think all the nearby ASOS's recorded less than 0.20 radial. On wet snow, my experience is ~6 inches of wet snow accretion on branches will take them down (snow falling at 32-33F). Good afternoon, My last initiated post on this event. I've added two graphics to verify the event: One is the snowfall map. Legend can be helpful. And also the qpf map...both 24 hours from 12z/20-12z/21. My own Wantage amount of 1.3" might be slightly conservative. Season 24.0. The HRRRX forecast map I posted yesterday was too robust. I think the ensemble prob of various amounts as posted by the NWS can be conservative but is useful for every event and is worthy of reviewing. I noticed the EC had a 70% prob of 3+ extending newd along I95 in NJ and that did not work out either. Thanks for all the posted OBS information.

Your elevation is likely around 300 feet, definitely helpful in marginal storms If you could pin it down to one town, or one small part of the Island, which part or town do you think held onto icing the longest?

Probably an area like Cold Spring Harbor or Oyster Bay. Somewhere on the nassau suffolk line a mile or so south of the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
