RU848789 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 42 minutes ago, RU848789 said: That was a quick 3/4" in about 40-45 minutes (about 1" per hour rates), although it's now just snowing lightly; however the radar shows another band coming in which isn't as big or as heavy looking as this past one, but should be enough to get us to an inch. Could be treacherous on top of the ice, since people won't see the ice now when walking or driving and this fluff won't stop you from sliding - I know, I almost just fell. Snow is essentially over for now and "only" got 1.0" (thought I might get more), which brings us to 5" for the "event" (I think yesterday and today are being counted together). I wonder if the midday almost-late-Feb indirect sun is doing a bit of work on the falling snow, even at 30F. I would expect this 1" to be gone by the end of the afternoon if we get no more snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about those radar echoes in eastern PA, moving into Hunterdon county NJ? Do you think that will swing through in the next few hours? To me it looks as if it might. We got 1 inch here too. Hoping for a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Light snow continues here. Picked up around 0.50" of new accumulation. Temp 30/DP 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Wantage NJ 3.5" act 1130A. Snowing lightly. Today is an excellent example of why snow boards, decks are used for snow measuring. The black pavement, grill covers are melting snow while snowboards, decks still accumulate snow at the current 1mi snow rate... T 27.5. Thats why light snow events are so nice for us, but easily manageable (wet) for the roads, during the higher sun angle part of the day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Snow had lightened up for 15 mins in Brooklyn Heights. Back to mod/heavy now though. Looks like we've gotten about an additional 1.5 inches since last night. Pretty kewl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue it’s a great example for snow boards but decks it depends. My deck has a stain on it making it darker and the snow has just been pretty much just melting on it since about 9am despite the occasional decent snowfall rates. I have a newer section of deck built last year thats not stained yet and even that has been melting but not as quick as the stained section.

gravitylover Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 The sun is bright through the clouds now but it's still snowing nicely, temp is popping above 32 right now so cleared surfaces are melting off. 27 hours of non stop precip with every type of frozen other than convective types with 13 hours straight of frozen crystals of some sort and a 30 minute sleet layer has made this one of the densest and most interesting textures in a long time. While I will only end up with 4.5" total it has been a very entertaining storm. 34/29/NE2/SN- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stretch we've been in has really given us the most "deep winter" feel in quite awhile. This is going to be one of those Springs that really feels as though we are thawing out after the winter freeze. 5.4 storm total . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 This one is within a few minutes of being done here I think. That will make it a few minutes shy of 28 hours on non stop precip (unless it stopped for a few minutes when I was asleep but I don't think it did). My total hasn't budged since this morning after the heavy burst of big flakes so 4.5" it is but it's the densest and most interesting texture I've dealt with in a long time. I've totally enjoyed this storm and would take a few more just like it. Gonna go do a final scrape with the pusher shovel and see if the filtered sunlight can melt some of this stuff off a little.

Once you expose the blacktop/pavement/concrete any snow disappears quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
