ForestHillWx Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 About 4.5” now, light to occasionally moderate snow. Temp down to 14. Personal best at our house in Chester NJ was January 16…legit 33”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'm comfortable with calling it 5" but most measurements were closer to 4 with a wind beaten surface. Some of those bands have been really prolific producers, the wind changes to the E and the flakes get big for 5-10 minutes then the wind goes back to the north and the fractured flakes are back. 8° sux to shovel in but at least this super dense stuff isn't terribly heavy because it's so cold.

hawkeye Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Check out the heavy band just sitting near New London CT and Eastern Long Island. Wow... Send that to Orange County please. https://fb.watch/aR76zrDw39/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I kept records back then…anyway, we had a snowfall in the morning up here, I want to says something like 6”-8” in bitter cold temps before the warm front blasted through changing it over to plain rain. Then that evening the arctic front barreled through changing the rain over to snow and everything froze. At the time NYS was trying to save money and NYSDOT had cutback on night and holiday plowing. As a result the roads became blocks of ice that were impassable for days rock salt was pretty much ineffective during the cold snap that followed. NYSDOT then developed a policy that the plow should be dropped if there is any snow between the white lines on the road.

gravitylover Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 That was an absolute mess even on LI. I was working in Little Neck and had parked up the hill that morning because I could stick my Jeep in a snowbank and have easy parking. I had to crawl up the hill to get to it and when I touched it the slide began. I literally jumped in, started it and threw it in reverse to spin it. It finally bounced to a stop 5 feet from sliding into Northern Blvd traffic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Little bit of a band taking shape just east of the NY/CT border. Danbury probably approaching 1"/hr rates. With the low jetting off to the NE now I don't think there's much room left for westward progress of heavier snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North and West Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 17° and snow winding down here, give or take a half foot of windblown powdery goodness, and I’m off to shovel soon and then come back inside and make meatballs for dinner.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the little snow I have and the wintry feel, but man, I was hoping 2015 and 2016 were behind us for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That actually backed up a bit further than it looked on radar before it pulled out. I got a pretty hardcore burst from about 11:30-12:15 and now the wind is howling out of the N as this thing moves out. The roads are like we got double (or more) the amount due to wind but even more so due to show fkn cold it is. It's gotta be 6" here but most measurements I was able to take are around 5 because of the wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 No it's like that last 40+ gust that scoured everything soft off all exposed areas. The wind is crazy. The snow is blowing every which way including up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly the kind of 50F rainer mirage that slowly but surely resolves into a nice thump ending as a little drizzle. On the other hand, after the last few storms, I take the Euro about as seriously as that NASA model someone posted out of left field. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North and West Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Jfc its coldLuckily I was able to stop square dancing long enough to take the farmhands into town to go sledding.It was 15° with a steady breeze. Reminded me of 1994 a little bit because I sledded this same hill in that winter when it was as cold and colder.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
