February 2020 Observations and Discussion

@heehaw453 wrote:NAM is in its wheel house now.  I usually doubt back end snows and still do here IMBY.  But this is beast and maybe dynamic enough for a band to wrap around.  I think NEPA is really in the game for a nice deformation band.

45 mph gusts.  Would be really cool with a band of snow...

btw.
Give me another NAM run like this and I think I'm hitting 81 N tomorrow.  

.5" of crappy drizzle and rain, 38°. then this..so close yet so far...

Get ready for wild Friday!

Not us soul, oh well, I have a feeling though with a LP that strong we may all be under a HWW sometime today.  I am going for my second try to break up my kidney stone today so wish me luck!! I will likely come out to the winds howlin.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around
trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of
your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Use caution if
you must drive.

This could come down really nice for 3 or 4 hour period as shown.  Worth my 1:30 minute drive due to the circumstances of the current season and I really so no silver linings in the foreseeable future.

Mikey P isn't this your neck of the woods?

In Tunkhannock PA. West of Scranton. Absolute paste bomb. 32. Roads have at least 2”! Snowing 2” per hour and winds picking up. Oh YEAH.

Didn't realize you were that close to me! I am near AVP, like 2-3 miles from me.

Jman, I live in LIC now right by the Queensboro Bridge and East River. It’s windier here on a “normal” day so it should get pretty wild. You’ll definitely get big winds in Westchester too though! Best of luck with the procedure, btw. I had those when I was 19 and they are THE worst kinda pain. Sending good thoughts!

Road tripping. About 1.5 hours from my hood. Can’t make it to Towanda. Conditions too bad. Visibility 1/4 mile. SN+. Winds probably 25 gusting to 35.

Snow won’t come to me so doing the needful.

Grass is slightly white, that's about it, everything else? WET! Bring on spring!

Love your attitude.  Please take a pic if possible!

I'd like to see video if you can post it.

My God, what is wrong with me?

Wow wind is ripping, thanks guys for the support, just got home from procedure. They said it appears it worked and the pieces should pass soon hopefully.  Not seeing much in the future per you guys so thats all for now.

Great Jman, hope that did the trick for you! Yes, wind ripping up here too.
Dropped to 37, windy and a few light flurries.Hoping for a snow shower or two to whiten up the property.

Getting steady snowfall with windy conditions here in Albany! I just took a stroll through a nearby park:

Down to 32 degrees, light snow shower and howling wind.Nice to see snow blowing all around,LOL.

Nice heavy and long snow shower.

Couldn't get to Towanda.  Tunkhannock had about 4" when i left and it was still snowing.  Towanda on north was where the real action was my guess is that area had at least 7".  I got a late start and couldn't make it there as it was a mess on roads...

On the way home Poconos was getting pasted.  Meanwhile the Piedmont and Lehigh Valley was wet snow melting on contact.  Old Man Winter was laughing at me!
