gravitylover Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 So 30 or so miles north of Times Sq is the fringe of the metro but 60 miles out in Suffolk isn't fringe? C'mon... I have tree branches bouncing off the roof now. Yup, non event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s too far South and the trajectory is too Easterly to hit us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwx21 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 26 minutes ago, HeadInTheClouds said: I hate the GFS but it was the only model that had me below freezing and with ZR before midnight. Every other model had it 2 to 4 hours later. For days GFS kept insisting my area would see a horrific ice storm, but instead we ended up being all rain here. It was way off for my area. The truth for the tri-state ended up being in between GFS and the warmer models. Even though GFS overdid it, it certainly was useful since it alerted us early on that there would be an ice threat for at least part of the area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, GFS was always an outlier and I'm glad I didn't go for it in my communications to others - have been very skeptical of much ZR for CNJ south of 78 here, on 33 and elsewhere and it looks like we're going to get little to no ice, as precip is shutting off before we get to 32F. The NYC thing was fascinating though, seeing NYC and NENJ east of the TPK (all close to the Hudson) get below 32F well before places 10-20 miles west, which is the opposite of what we usually see.

BxSnowWx37 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Nice lil flurry burst here..guess we fully transitioned to snow and I think more precip is coming our way with the last passing disturbance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathermedic Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Hearing on the scanner of icing conditions in Bronx, Manhattan and northern parts of Queens.

guinness77 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Wow. Just went out to my car, and any standing water or water drops on my car is frozen. Had to use a little oomph to open my door too. I still have more than 4 hours before I drive home too, I’m a little nervous about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 21f now Main roads aren't too bad but between the icing from late last night through the morning transitioning to sleet then 0.4" of snow has made the secondary roads a complete disaster here.

weathermedic Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Hearing of a few slip and falls on the outdoor subway and LIRR station platforms. Roads seem to be okay with the salt. Sanitation has been actively salting in the city most of the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Just finished salting my campus, lots of ice on the uws. About .10” on the trees, glaze on pavement now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It has been flurrying here for about an hour now leaving a quick dusting that started to hide some of the ice. So, does that snow area down in WV/VA head east or does it make the turn and give us some snow overnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Decent glaze here, you can hear a bit of crackling in the trees. Hopefully the next batch of precip coming through will be sleet or snow. The snow piles left will be impenetrable after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Well, about an hour ago it finally reached 32F here in Metuchen (and N or the Raritan in general) and we did get a very light glaze of freezing rain on colder surfaces (unpaved), like the grass and our deck and any metal, which means the NWS advisory verified for us. Also had a short burst of sleet. Looks like another burst of freezing rain or sleet is on our doorstep. Nice to at least see something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
