I can't get her down the 14 steps to downstairs and then down the ice sheet driveway so I need to dig a line 100 feet up the front lawn so I can get the truck up to the house. @SNOW or @DRVTS do you have a blower I can borrow for an hour? Just seeing this now, don't think you tagged me right Sorry, I still do it the old fashioned way, it's the only way I can justify the 3 (8...) beers later on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had measurable snow in April 5 out of the last 7 years and my allergies are still brutal all season. I think you'd need an extended deep freeze to really dampen pollen counts, but who wants to see everyone lose their fruit crops for the year? Good morning, Julien. Plants should have fun also.

North and West Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 One of those surprising years that Morristown gets hit hard repeatedly. Snowing again and again here. Over 40” now for the month. Bonkers stuff. My eleven year old stuff would have gone out of his mind. This is the closest I’ve seen to a 1994 redux here, sans the coldest air, which this time was in Texas.I’m ready for Spring.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's pretty much over for wave 1 here. I'm going to call it at 1.5 inches and try to pretend that this never happened and lick my wounds and move on. 52 inches for the season now and 13.5 inches otg so I can't bitch too much.

"Round 2" itself has two or three minor upper-level impulses that will trigger light snow in dribs and drabs over the next 18-24 hours. The next little period of activity is taking shape as you noted. Best chance to reach the low ends of forecast ranges will be in the wee hours tomorrow morning, maybe midnight to 5 am, with a little vortmax swinging through. Even then, the mesoscale guidance points to rates under a quarter inch per hour. Hey @IrishRob17, how do we feel about "weaksauce"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The redevelopment is happening now here and it's more frozen than white. 2+" of really nice snow down so that puts me over average for the year which is nice but now it's getting crusted again. Does everyone else have a block of white matter after the warmth the other day? This stuff is durable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I had to drive from croton to nj around 1pm. That was interesting. Almost got stuck on 9A south but quickly backed down an on ramp. Best roadway was the tz bridge which had 2 lanes plowed westbound. Thinking roads should be clear ish by the time I’m heading back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Yeah I might have an inch, I can't be arsed to measure at the moment. Getting chilly though so roads are consequently getting a bit treacherous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the roads get worse as you come south. Even Rt 6 is snow-covered now. I'm still getting frozen precip, sometimes it's falling sideways which is fun. I have over an inch since it restarted but it has been a variety of precip types ranging from freezing mist to fat flakes doing the snowglobe thing.

gravitylover Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Radar says it's not happening but it is. This is the most persistent light accumulating snow in a while. It just keeps falling. Tiny flakes leaving a super dense coating, it's literally scraping it off the ground to move it. The first few inches early today were beautiful, then a spot of sun with moderate large flake snow, then a crunch layer laid down for a couple of hours and now it's been this stuff for almost 3 hours. I'd call it over 3" total accumulation, while I was expecting more like 6-7 this surely isn't disappointing due to the variety of precip types and duration of non stop precip. I'm passing 12 hours non stop which is always cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 If not exciting means 16 hours of non stop snow with nearly every type of frozen precip in varying intensities then this qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
