Very good storm for setting the wintry mood while this cold stays around 22° w/ lgt snow 2.4" otg Nice wintry day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I was almost to 3" before the flip. It sleeted for a while before changing to frozen pellets to a couple of hours of plain old rain, all without going above 25°. It's ugly out there. Is it even possible to get a storm without rain around here anymore? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 After 17 hours of almost non stop snow the finally tally is 2.5 inches. That's about what I received in an hour on January 7th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The low got going too late to throw back additional moisture. The radar this afternoon almost looked like we got dry slotted. Mostly all snow up this way. Currently 23/12 edit: dropped off to 19/9 in the last hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rclab Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 11 hours ago, BxEngine said: 2”. Then a heavy .1 or so of freezing rain after fluffy cold snow. What a weird storm. Agreed, a strange sequence. I shoveled the inch or so of accumulation and treated the stairs and walk. Some other folks may have figured that our usual warming would do the job for them. The consistent 20’s and light rain with a very brief after period of larger flake snow dictated otherwise. Below are photos of my row house steps a few hours after shoveling and treatment. The evergreen shows further evidence, with sagging branch ice accretion. I hope the next event is purer as to whatever type of precipitation occurs. Stay well, as always. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Didn't get as cold in this neck of the woods, not sure if it was the wind or clouds or what, 13 for the low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 We have a gravel/dirt lot we “borrow” at work to park. The 1” or so of compacted snow is a full sheet of ice, and its on a slight grade. Least fun ive ever had at work trying to leave lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It's flaking. Looks nice. I guess we really need to appreciate this wintry week because it's not looking so wintry for a while. As long as it doesn't rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW both the Euro and GFS show some more winter next Wednesday for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Yeah I saw that but my confidence level is kind of low at this point. It would be nice if this week's snow was still on the ground and gets some more added to it before the end of the week wetness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major snow events but the entire month was cold, with minor 1-2 inch events once or twice a week the entire month and so cold that the snow cover lasted for most of the month too.

Hitman Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 27f with exceedingly light snow falling. I’d love a real snowstorm as much as anyone, but have to be thankfull for what we got. Solid albeit shallow snow cover for a week. Look and feel of winter. Should last until Wednesday. Beats last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbowftw3 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 21/16 Snowing at a pretty decent clip, point and click never changed from the 1-3” I’d figured I would always see from this. Given the warmup incoming, probably going into February with around 15-20” for the season to this point. Going to need one heck of a February to meet average (66”) for this season at MSV, that’s for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t take much to get us back on track I just ran my numbers, I may have missed a very small event for this month, I'll have to check my January 2024 sheet when I get home and I used a half inch estimate for today so far. With all that in mind, I'm at 17.5" for the season right now. Going by the 30 year NWS averages for KMGJ the seasonal average for today is 17.1" and using my own records going back to 2005 my average to date is 17.4" so I'm ever so slightly above normal to date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the NWS average for your location? I believe im right around 50" but my 22 yr running average is 54.1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
