Juliancolton Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Down to 33 and still pouring, with 1.25" on the day so far. This is probably not going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 32.3° here. I've never found freezing rain to be much of a problem above 30° it's below 30 that the issues begin. Looks like we will be in that territory around the 7am commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Been sitting at 32 for 5 hours now. Little fluctuations of course between 32.4 to 31.9 but no steady drop below freezing yet here, no complaints from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossbowftw3 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Remarkably still holding between 32-35 depending on where I look and it still sounds like just plain rain with maybe the slightest hint of ZR mixing in. Should be going all the way over soon though, and lasting through the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Rain leading to freezing rain produces a different type of ice than freezing rain from the start, it’s pretty interesting to look at up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbowftw3 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Still predominantly rain here, which continues to be remarkable. It’s a very precarious position to be in, though. Meanwhile, younger sibling had to deal with a fire drill at Oswego…in the middle of the night…during the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 My father is in yorktown right now, said for the most part its still ok but getting a bit sketchy quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Meanwhile…my ****ing car decided to randomly turn on twice. Only thing i can think of is that someone bought a hyundai like mine, and is using the bluelink app to start his car (uses 3g so you dont need to be within a certain radius like regular remote starters) and entered the wrong vin number? It cant be a misfiring ignition switch because its turning off after 10 mins just like a remote starter would. oh and we have atleast a foot and its still snowing. Went for a nice hike through the woods this morning, best jebwalk ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 There’s a void of mPING reports in the Mid-Hudson this morning unfortunately. If you don’t already use mPING I highly recommend you get the app and report your conditions it’s super easy and very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god for that, was tough to take out the dogs earlier, at least the pellets are making for some traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Light rain @ 28° makes things messy in a hurry. So far though the icing on pavement isn't bad but with as much water is draining from melting snow and rain over the frozen ground it will get ugly if the wind comes up or if it gets any colder.

Juliancolton Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Only a light glaze at home before the sleet started, thankfully. Mean radial was 2mm, so well under 1/10th of an inch. It seems like the far northern reaches of Dutchess did "better" on the ZR front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Even without looking at radar or LSRs/mPING, you can easily see the southern limit of significant ice by its societal effects. Pretty cool how closely these are aligned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yup, a couple of mm's on all exposed surfaces now. So far pavement appears tobe mostly wet but I think that's just because of the (outrageous amount of) salt. 29/29/RN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossbowftw3 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It absolutely refuses to drop below 32F at 32/29, still no visible icing that I can spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to me that u have little ice in Sullivan while just west of Middletown we have what looks like .25. U mentioned it may be elevation dependent. I am at 700 ft-- only expect a 1-2 degree lower temp from your elevation. Maybe some other variables also contributing to this difference ??

I’m also at 750ish feet. Not sure, but everywhere around me with more elevation definitely has been icing this morning. These elevation gradients always play a part in what sensible weather I see around here but I was for sure certain we’d see at least some ice this morning.

And as I wrote this I see BGM got a report of .8” of ZR (definitely flat, so it works down to maybe .3-.4?) in Lake Ariel, not that far away from me. The difference? About 800 feet of elevation.
