If it can't thrown an inch more than a few feet, I mean really... Tightness of the belt makes a huge difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temperature rose from 27 to 30 in the last 15 minutes on the SE flow. At my weather station on Fire Island the temperature is at 33*. It’s been at that level since about 1pm. Winds have backed around to south but are not strong at 8mph with gusts to 11mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, moderate snow is on our doorstep and will hopefully fall for the next hour or so, if the sleet can hold of (it has stalled out near Trenton). Temp is up to 26F. Enjoying my walks outside and watching the young ones sledding across the street at a small hill, where I used to take our son (now 25) - by the time he was 11-12 we had to upgrade to driving out to Schooley Mountain in Long Valley. Wow, got 1/4" over the last 15 minutes of moderate snow with gorgeous dendrites, as we're obviously getting very nice supersaturation-driven crystal growth up in the DGZ - don't usually get 1" per hour rates without heavy rates. Up to 1.5". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotcha. Good luck. Being new, and under warranty, they should take care of the issue. I would suggest getting some basic tools.

weatherpruf Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 15 minutes ago, Allsnow said: Odd.....this is a powdery snow also. How’s the belt on it? It's running rough like it's fuel starved. Could be a mouse got in there and clogged something up. Or bad gas, though my other snow blower worked fine on the same gas. A little snowmelt may have gotten into the fuel because the plastic cover on my portable gas can blew off. Or could be a spark plug. One clue, when I tilted it back to check the rotors, it ran a lot better. That sounds like some sort of fuel issue to my amateur self. I love the electric toro, but it is pain to deal with the extension. And the cordless ones just ain't there yet IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetbulbs88 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It seems like the big rates are inevitably crossing NJ...waiting for something else to go wrong though lol. Mod snow now, back down to 26. Very much doubt we see any rain tonight, would be surprised if we saw much sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighter intensity precip, so it could flip back to snow is some heavier stuff moves in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 3 minutes ago, Allsnow said: 1.5 sleet now ugh Damn, same here with sleet snow mix (mostly sleet) - by the cc-radar a tongue of sleet looks to have developed along 78 from Allentown to Somerville and then along 287 to Perth Amboy. Hoping the precip behind it, which is not showing a sleet signature is back to snow (with heavier precip - will see shortly as heavier precip is on our doorstep) and not freezing rain, since it's 26F at the surface and that would be a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
