gravitylover Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 There's a section of I 684 by exit 6 southbound that's taking out 30+ cars a day since last Thursday so the HELP truck just sits there. It's amazing how many cars have to be towed because real spare tires are a rare breed on newer cars. A can of fix-a-flat or run flats is what they get but that's useless when the wheel is cracked. Low profile tires on big wheels for the win Julian, I've been getting very light flurries for quite a while now, I'm surprised you're not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moisture was really shallow... snizzle vs drizzle probably came down to tiny variations in ice nuclei/sfc temp/elevation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I had my suv towed to a shop this morning, been waiting since last Saturday for a local guy to be able to do it. He said that since Sunday he's been pulling between 10 and 16 cars a day off 684 with broken wheels, snapped tie rods and control arms or two blown tires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It was quite slick here this morning, and still is, but rapidly approaching 40F now so shouldn't be an issue much longer. I'm not surprised there were school delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely stuff… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely stuff… Yeah, that's true. I was wearing my microspikes like a total dork while working out in the yard yesterday afternoon. Still, it was necessary to keep from careening down the hill. The sun did little to soften the patches of smooth ice in the lawn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The Rt 22 corridor through Dutchess and Columbia counties has very little snow left. It looks like late March. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely made some progress on the driveway getting the water to move off it, staying above freezing tonight will help with that too. I’d say half the yard now is bare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 by CPcantmeasuresnow The snowpack survived this week but there are a few bare spots now in the usual areas but still 75% coverage. Amazing how 4-5 inches of solid ice and snow held up to the onslaught of sun and 50 for four days. A fresh unbattle tested 5 inches of powder would not have lasted a day. So the streak lives on but on life support. 37 straight days and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Nothing but piles and maybe an inch of spotty garbage on northerly aspects. I didn't look into this one much before but it looks like the western side is further west than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenCtyWx Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 About 4.8" here. Definitely a pleasant surprise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 2-2.5 on the driveway and patio, 3 on the cars and up to 4" on shaded and exposed hard surfaces. That's double to 4 times what I expected so a big win here. It's way more fluffy than it has a right to be considering the temps but the flakes are beautifully formed so I guess it's perfect growth conditions up there. What a pleasant surprise. Looks to be fading now though, the cloud deck is thinning and it's getting brighter with fat flakes still falling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
