Snowmageddon 2022 (1 Viewer)

I seriously can't take another snow day.  My video game college football dynasty seasons are really suffering with the family around all the time.  Not to mention this is gonna start messing with my beach schedule pretty soon.  Make it stop!

 
I swear they are just guessing now. Local Lehigh Valley station has us in the 4" to 8" range now but during the forecast they show four models that go from 1" to 9.5".

So now freezing rain today and up to 11 tomorrow here?  I don’t even know what is real.

11" of snow ain't great, but I can deal with that. Freezing rain terrifies me. I've been caught driving twice before where freezing rain turned the roads into sheets of ice and it's among the most scared I've ever been. Seeing cars sliding, going off the road and into each other all around you and knowing that pulling over and stopping is just as dangerous as just getting home is a terrifying feeling.

The one time I was on an overpass that was banked at a pretty decent angle and cars were literally sliding sideways from one lane into cars next to them due soley to the ice and the slope of the road.

Driving in snow can be a bit dicey, especially when people drive too fast like idiots, but ice is an entirely different ballgame.

GFS run will be available in 1 hour and 10 minutes. That'll give a good luck at 24 and 48 hour expected snowfall.

ETA: NAM model run at 10:00, has an inch or so by 10:00am tomorrow. The 48 hour has 12-16 inches...

Probably depends on how far you'll be driving and what you're willing to deal with too. My guess is you'll want to be off the road by 12ish at the latest but it shouldn't be treacherous or anything, as long as it ends up all snow and not a more dangerous mix that early on.

I'd likely reschedule if it wasn't anything urgent or a huge annoyance.

 
Latest GFS still has a hit for NYC/Philly 12+ inches.
Moving into DELMARVA. 18"+ in southern NJ and Delaware.

WV already reporting 6+ inches in places.

 
Just drove home from King of Prussia area to Springfield. Snow changed to ice/sleet halfway south. It’s a lot of unflavored, snocone crap out there in Delaware County. Be careful, probably don’t drive if you don’t have to around here.

GFS Update?  

 
welp, no matter how this all shakes out, i will give kudos for the storm starting at exactly 5 p.m. - was less than a block from my house, and, sure as ####, at the stroke of five i was hit with a headshot of frozen rain/sleet. 

it's on, and apparently punching a clock. 

 
10 inches of snow at my house in the Eastern Panhandle of WV. Looking at another 8 minimum according to the weather masters. Where I work in Woodbridge, VA is looking at a few inches.

Not a flake on the ground yet here in LI.  Wtf?

We have nothing in RI yet. They had said it wouldn't hit the ground until after 8am, because of all the dry air in place up here.  The whole state canceled school for today by 8pm last night.  Should be interesting.

Not snowing in Baltimore either, hard to say your're working from home due to snow when there's no ####### snow!

morning run was dotted with some icy precip hitting the face - precip shouldn't hurt your face - not much falling, it was on/off

but some big time wind gusts were troublesome - dodged a few trash bins, kinda like OJ in the Hertz gig  :unsure:

 
What's amazing is when I called my airline Monday late afternoon, there was no weather watch yet (is no free ticket changes - although I think they'd have done it for free anyway. Don't know as I get free ticket changes anyway).

Ive heard anything from 4 inches, probable 10-20, maybe most significant snowfall in years. Kinda bummed to miss it but really didn't want to get stuck back east for a period of time if I couldn't get flight back. 

 
BIG flakes falling rapidly - wind from the east really picking up - this one may deliver on the hype.

hunkered down, provisions aplenty  :popcorn:

 
Heading into the city for work for the morning. Snow starting. Figure I can show face and get a few things done, knock off at lunch and get the hell out of dodge before it gets bad. 

 
So for those of you that have had multiple big storms over the last few weeks how much snow is on the ground?  Or is it melting between. 

 
Been snowing hard here since about 4 a.m. Probably have 5" on the ground. It looks like we're about to hit a dry slot, so I don't know how much more we'll get.

i assume you're using the RR? - few weeks ago when we had the Friday storm the delays and cancelations were maddening - i got out from the City early enough (3:30), but the storm was just picking up speed at that time - this one is balls out already  :unsure:

gl on your journey back  :thumbup:

 
The 6am NAM has a nice hit on the NYC metro area:

10-15 inches is enough to shut the trains down. This had never been forecasted as a Wednesday morning storm, but the media ran with it. It's going to be the Wednesday evening, Thursday morning commutes that stink.

6am GFS is not as aggressive:

4 or 5 inches is really just an annoyance.

The Friday storm that shut down the LIRR caught me. Had to take the Long Beach line and have my wife pick me up. Hempstead/Ronkonkama/Babylon/Port Jeff lines were all down.

I am a little North of you and just west of Martinsburg. We have close to 15" currently.

You seem to be in the bulls eye a lot. Didn't you get 4 feet or some crazy amount during a storm a couple of years ago? What's your elevation?

It's pretty much stopped here. I live on a street that also has an entrance to a hospital on it. They keep it well-plowed, but almost too much as it builds up the Ice Wall Of Death across my driveway even during smaller snowfalls.

We got just over 4 feet in that big snow. Our elevation isn't high but the mountains do tend to funnel the storms and slow them down a bit if they hit just right.
