Lotta ice too. The Oct 2021 event exceeded this at HdG but not by all that much (5.59 ft vs 5.34). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Pure CO powder out there. If conditions are like this here with near blizzard conditions, I gotta imagine Jon Jon and Chris21 are getting hammered at Canaan with the higher elevation that cranks out the upslope even more. Such an awesome storm for the mountains.Fozz is getting treated to ideal ski conditions right now — we decided to just chill at the house by the fire lol.

87storms Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Wind has really ramped up (balcony furniture has now gathered around in a huddle). I already can tell the wind is out of the nw as it just rolls right off the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I just shoveled the most horrific glacier of my life. I measured 4.7 inches of snow last night when the sleet started. I dont know how much sleet we got. Maybe an inch and half? All of that was then encased in freezing rain. I can literally walk on top of this glacier. Crazy storm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, learning that. Incredible conditions that I’ve really only seen in some of our best storms all time. Combo of 2/10/10 visibility and conditions with 2”+ an hour rates at times.

A few pictures from outside shoveling a bit ago: Did some measurements and it looks like an average of 15-16 last hour. Of course it’s been cranking since. As long as we have this strong of W/NW flow, I expect these rates will continue through later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to trust yours and mdhokie since its impossible to get reliable measurements with the wind. I have 12” on the driveway but that’s after compaction and with the wind blowing it off to drifts on the side so that sounds about right. 20 minutes ago, WinterWxLuvr said: People have a hard time realizing just how easily it snows up there and how different that climate is.

clskinsfan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Some flurries and heavy winds here in Winchester now. Just a raw winter day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Finished shoveling and it’s tricky because the slight slush film leftover refreezes in all shady spots. Unless it dries out by dark there will be some tricky and disguised icy spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 18” or so as the current total near McHenry. Visibility is way up, still windy but snow has lightened up considerably. Was a blitz the last 6 hours for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Roads were pretty dicey back to Swanton from Wisp, lots of drifting. Had to go the back way around north glade road because a bunch of cars ended up in the ditch near Red Barn Inn. Hoping 219 North to 68 is a little better.

One of my favorite places ever! Spent a year when I was younger working for a builder up on the mountain. It's been a few years since I've been but I hope to get back soon.
