Surprised that central PA, which (I would think) would be much more acclimated to icing and winter weather in general than, say Long Island, gets a warning at just 1/4", while Long Island needs to be forecast for 1/2"? Seems like it should be the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcanic Winter Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Leaving work early today in Hillside trees and some surfaces looked encased in glass. Roads have been fine with some accretion on side walks and untreated driveways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was 2 degrees colder, much of NYC and northern LI would’ve been in a lot of trouble. The heavy precip rate meant that with it being 30 instead of 28 much less accreted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol so much for 8-12” then 6”-8 then 4”-8” then 2-4” finally settling at 3” of pure sleet. No issues using the snowblower. I put two bags of ice melt on my 1/2” of sleet with ice on the driveway. The precip is done, the temperature is up to 37, and my sleet and ice is all melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is still iced up..tonight is gonna be an adventure when it really freezes up with blk ice. If you want, I’ll throw a few pitchers of water on my driveway to freeze it up tonight and you can come over and slip and fall on it for a couple of hours. It should produce that good old deep winter feel for you. I’m right up in Rockland County, let me know….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people who live in a place like that are winter weather enthusiasts, I can't imagine any other reason for living there. You should be in Florida, you'd love the weather there. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadInTheClouds Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Measured 3.5 inches of mostly snow, some sleet. A little disappointing but whatever. 19 for the season. My daughter who lives near Albany said they got about 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got about 2 inches of sleet, no snow though, started as sleet from the beginning just after midnight then went over to freezing rain/rain at 9am. The sun is just starting to break through now :-) I'll give you credit, at least you own up a little when wrong. This is the second event along with 1/16 that overperformed from a winter weather standpoint (not necessarily snow standpoint). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd live there for the Northern Lights.... there are places that far north where you don't even have to leave your house to see amazing Northern Lights displays in your back yard 200 nights a year. I wonder if they're so used to them they take them for granted? I've seen that kind of display posted from the Scandanavian nations, yet another reason to want to live there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was just a PetaPixel article the other day about a photog who moved to the far remote north for auroras, and he says the same thing that I've heard from a number of others who either live in, or frequently travel to, high latitudes - it never really gets old, but your standards for bundling up and venturing out do get much higher as time goes on. That tracks with just about anything in life that someone might want to see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some of those huge 60" windows that give you a wide angle to view from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
