Elevation here at BHS is 109ft Sincerely and I am big fan of all of you! Lisa Buffardi Here is Mt. Holly's snow map (as of 9:45 am). You can take it as their best guess! It will depend on how intense it gets to chill the warmer/treated spots but I expect there will be some initial "thump" of accumulation on the existing snowpack and other surfaces where you are but there is supposed to be an eventual shift of warmer air and changeover to a rain/snow mix. Whether that happens where you are will be the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I told you guys this would be a snow surprise event and overcoming the sun angle issues would be no problem. Waiting for the half dollar to pancake size flakes to start falling. Too bad this storm is short in duration. Its like winter kicking us in the nads one more time before exiting. I am more concerned about the model chaos this weekend into next week as the pattern changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Am somewhere between SN- and SN but nothing really sticking yet (except maybe on the snowpack). Temp is down to 33 but still above freezing with dp 30 and seeing a bit of fog with it. When I went out earlier this morning to clear off the board - OMG the 1/2" of sleet over the snowpack had me walking on top of a foot of drift that was barely sinking in. There was powder deep under it though when I shoved a small shovel down into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Dang. Now that the driveway is coated, I'm hoping for another couple of inches to justify wheeling out the snowblower one more time. I'd much prefer using that than shoveling.
