Just took a slide down driveway with snowblower in tow Didn't need the blower today at 1.75 before the flip to rain, but slipped bad during the last storm giving myself a whiplash. Ugh.

If anything stuck on Central Park’s snowboard after 1 pm, it will likely be washed away before the Park measures again at 7 pm. It seems that no measurement is made when the snow stops falling or no such measurement is made on a consistent basis. They don't make a measurement when the precip changes? They're supposed to... If snow and rain are mixed and there is snow that accumulates, report the precipitation (melted) in the gauge as your daily precipitation, and report the maximum accumulation of the new snow as Snowfall. If the snow is likely to melt before the official observation time, it is best to measure the depth of the new snow as soon as possible after the snow ends before it has a chance to melt. Be sure to include that you had mixed precipitation in your comments. https://www.weather.gov/coop/Forms-Manuals-Equipment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an A+ month in my book. What were your storm totals this month from the events? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no pretreatment and it was like they had to scramble to get the plows out. I had a plow come down my (dead end) street around 1 and then it really started coming down. He had the salt spreader going but it was useless and everything is a mess. No pre-treatment here either. I think they figured it was just an inch or so and during the day at marginal temps so it would mostly take care of itself. That's not what they got. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still snowing moderately so may add several more tenths today. Had 1.0 inch by midnight January 31 so storm total was 27.4 for the Feb 1 storm.

All panicking, hazards on, pulling off onto the shoulder. And they have the wrong tires. Even my sports car is a little monster with good winter tires but with the all season sport tires I run the other 3 season of the year I can't keep it from sliding off the crown of the road in 1/2" of snow. Be careful, with 4-6" of snow here and now it's raining the trees and branches are starting to sag badly. It's just a matter of time before branches start breaking off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one had decent tires they were fine. There was a period of heavy snow early here in Goshen but its been light snow for hours now and there's plenty of pavement on the roads as a result.

They didn't pretreat the roads for this event and it was a mistake. Are you sure you're at "light snow"? It's dumping here. In Goshen NY? I'm on Main St right now, you think this is dumping? LMAO. This is steady light snow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the street 1200 feet away disappears I think of it as moderate, when the street 750 feet away goes away it's heavy and when the next block over disappears I go outside and groove on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a shadow area on many of the models that ran thru the middle of the County N/S. I noticed it on radar earlier when it was dumping over here in Cornwall. It showed up as a persistent narrow light blue stripe. I saw it for quite awhile and thought it might translate East but it really was focused out there. Good job by the clown maps showing this since yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadInTheClouds Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 33 with steady light snow. Looks like it will be done soon. 3 inches. 53.5 for the season.

ForestHillWx Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Stopped around 4:00 pm. Measured 5.5” at 3:00 while plowing the driveway. Very close to 6”. That’s over 10” since last Thursday alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpsnavigator Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 4.3" here of very pasty wet snow. Most of it fell and accumulated at 34° This is an entirely different snow than storms past. I believe the 0.5" QPF and then some. What are some of you guys liquid equivalents if you calculated it? It's probably a good thing we didn't get much more - this is the type of snow that would've started breaking stuff had it gone on much longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
