GG1 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 How badly are you getting hit? We're up to 10" so far, with much more on the way. Looks like a double clear with the snowblower. I always hate storms that come in from Southeast. This one should be a doozy, with two fronts colliding in NJ & NY and hanging out for 36 hrs. BTW, saw this on Accuweather, and was surprised that the record snowfall in Philly airport was only 3" - that can't be true? The cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore both saw daily maximum snowfall records fall on Sunday as totals cleared previous record highs set decades ago. In Philly, 3.4 inches of snow was recorded at Philadelphia International Airport, breaking a record of 3 inches previously set in 1949, according to the NWS. Baltimore’s daily record of 3.7 inches had stood since 1985 but was also broken on Sunday after 3.8 inches were recorded at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar showed the rain/snow line was hovering just around Philly this morning and it was moving slowly north. At that point we had 7” on Long Island. Good powder since the temp was around 23 all night. I’m about to go back out to clear another 3 or 4 of 30 degree snow before the slush starts coming down and really getting heavy. I hate winter at sea level. The snow always turns into wet beach sand by the end of the storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Got an email from an Attorney in Dutchess County, looks like they're shut down due to the snowstorm. We have a few flakes here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG1 Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 We're over 17" now. Rarely see radar like this. It hasn't changed since this morning - the two stormfronts are literally stuck directly over NY tristate and haven't moved yet. To make it more fun, the drive cable broke on the snow blower. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It amazes me that every year there is a Nor’easter that drops about a foot of snow on the Accela corridor and every single year the media hyperventilates as if this is a once in a lifetime Armageddon. that being said...stay safe everyone!

That stinks. Have had to clear over 2' of snow from our 450' long driveway by hand on 2 occasions due 1 time to the garden tractor having the seat safety interlock breaking & not figuring that out before we absolutely had to get out of the driveway and the other time due to a 40's vintage Ford tractor being persnickity. Not fun. Hopefully, yours is shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I got most of the first pass done before the cable snapped. Hopefully the shops will have the part in stock for a standard MTB.

Now rain and maybe a dusting tomorrow. My go-to shovel broke and I had to use the backup. It is amazing the difference between a shovel I like and the backup. I walked the dog just now and there’s still a lot of snow on the roads and I nearly hit the deck three times from ice. I’m not looking forward to driving into Brooklyn tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ½" all day. Enough to dirty the windshield following someone on the toad. Just have the wipers on the lowest setting. Very nice winter so far. Lake Erie is at 32, but hasn't froze over yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF91 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I escaped westchester early this morning before it really piled up. In my part of Albany county I’d be surprised if we got more than 6 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
