This snow that's left will be hard as cement. But definitely a nice surprise here. Also you being a couple towns east of me might help you out. I have a decent coating but I'm doubting that much here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcanic Winter Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Snowing pretty decently here now in Toms River. Note my solitary surviving iceberg from my 16 inch snowpack that was nuked out of existence the past three days. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Many dodged a bullet with this one. Could have been a much different story if the precip with the second low was more intense and widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The GFS was the only model that really struggled with its cold bias. All the other guidance had the most icing up toward Ulster and Orange Counties. The NYC and Long Island areas generally need the cold to be in place when the freezing rain begins for significant icing build up on trees and power lines. Models were signaling for days that we would start out in the 40s and 50s with rain before any changeover. Past major icing events near the coast generally began with the temperatures below freezing.

I fortunately had no issues here but a mere 30 miles north is a disaster area centered on the City of Kingston in Ulster County where they had .6 of radial ice. Central Hudson is the power company up there and has 90,990 customers with 44,044 customers without power right now. 680 crews out there this weekend trying to restore power.

Yeah, it’s always rough when areas that are heavily wooded get that much ice. The Long Beach area didn’t have any major power outages in Jan 94 with .5 to .75 of radial ice. We just don’t have that many tall trees near the beach. While the SPC HREF Fram had a cold bias south of 287, it really honed in on those hard hit interior areas with the blue .5+ of ice from the 12z Thursday forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we are lucky that there hasn’t been a further south version of Jan 98 closer to our northern zones. https://www.weather.gov/media/btv/events/IceStorm1998.pdf This storm had historic impacts across northern New York, northern New England and southeast Canada due to the prolonged duration of the event (both meteorological and recovery period) and the magnitude of ice accretion and precipitation amounts. The most famous meteorological aspect of this storm was the devastating and destructive ice accumulation of more than 3 inches (75mm) in portions of northern New York and southeast Canada, with heavy ice accumulation across northern New England as well. Another major aspect of this storm was the extremely heavy precipitation across the region, including over 5 inches of rain that caused major flooding in portions of western New York. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah…I want no part of that. I remember following that online as these boards were in their infancy. As I recall, much of that was freezing drizzle which really allows for accretion. That might be mentioned in that link, I’ll have to read up on it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never so happy to see sleet yesterday morning. Neighbors to the North in Ulster County are not so lucky. Time to start looking at ways to deal with the failing infrastructure. Burying all lines sounds good, but would be an extremely painful slow, and very expensive process. Option two. Clear cut trees below power lines levels to help reduce these power loss risks. Where I visit Florida, all power lines do not have a tree or tree branch in any distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 All over this area there are 50+ foot trees within 30 feet of power lines leaning towards them. Every time it's windy, icy or snowy I just wait for the power to go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt mind another Jan 1994 that was awesome. So was VD07. I'd prefer snow of course. But I dont want it to -ever- rain in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
