Monitoring February 4th

22 with light ZR and sleet. It's a mess out there.

My workplace up in FairLawn closed up at noon. I drove home in a cold rain. I think my boss jumped the gun with her decision to close early.

More freezing rain is falling. Ice on trees is getting heavier. I just don’t see how any of this will melt tomorrow. 28 now. It’s impassable out there. Super dangerous

Manhasset, LI in Nassau County is now reporting freezing rain temp 31.6*

Yikes...Hudson Valley really getting the brunt of this ice storm. Stay safe man!

wow only at 36.3 here in Deer Park.

Interestingly, even though it had dropped to 33° at 8 am, it has not yet hit freezing and actually went up a couple of degrees to 35°, which is where it sits now.

I still have some piles of snowblown snow sitting in the front yard.

I've hit 31.8. Trees getting glazed a bit and I'm sure Mother Nature will give me a snow shower before this mess pulls out just to rub it in. Snow is obliterated other than piles.

We've been sitting around 33 or so in Bloomfield for a while. Radar has shown pink for my area for more than an hour, but it remains just rain and we have nothing frozen.

Areas just to the north/west in Verona and Montclair that are sort of "up the hill" are showing below freezing temps, and it takes a bit more time to come down First Mountain and into the coastal plain. I imagine our members in the higher points in western Essex may already be seeing the freeze move in.

Anyone have pics in the areas hard hit? Pouring here in CT which is where I am right now, said it was supposed to be frz up to 2/10ths but i dont see any ice accretion.

31.2 light freezing rain. 925mb freezing line pushing quickly now SE.  The mid-level storm has moved off the coast.  Most temps will start to drop again and some should expect some light sleet/snow as the 850's start to crash.

23° with sleet finally in Highland Mills Orange County.

Everything bending under the weight of the ice. Still astonished we have power, hopefully I didn't jinx it.

Snow pack at 6 inches with a LE of I'd guess 2 inches +. It's not going anywhere soon. Solid cover since January 7th and counting.

And Boston lost their two foot cover in five days. I can't help but chuckle.

29 degrees with sleet and some freezing rain in West Milford.

Light freezing rain by me

Beautiful photos, but please be careful!

I’ve been hearing sleet on my skylight for the past half hour or so.

21 and cloudy. Storm is done here. Got .20 ice accretion, 1 inch of sleet, and 1/2 inch snow. Luckily didn't get the real heavy icing like Jim in Ulster county. Im hearing they got hit hard and half the county is without power. Hope Jim is ok.

Just started to sleet here. Temp 30.

Light snow. But there is a dangerous glaze if ice on the ground. Wayne NJ

21 degrees. Picked up a quick inch of snow on top of the ice. I don't see the ice going anywhere tomorrow. So far, electric has stayed on and I too am surprised and hope I don't jinx it. There was no wind to speak of today or it could have been worse. Trees are sagging from the ice. About a quarter mile from here the Orange and Rockland grid ends and Central Hudson picks up and yes, they have some outages. Friends have said power has gone on and off. Some have no power. Everyone stay safe who got the ice.

32* and have a flash freeze...almost landed on my backside on back deck..

Ps now Snowing cars are covered

After a cold rainy day, we transitioned to freezing rain late this afternoon and had a little sleet and snow showers. Done now, a little glaze over everything at 26*. Heard people have been falling on the ice, so I'm staying put!

Snowing! Hard

In ten minutes the snow pack has been replaced

Wow, it’s your winter

What! I was just about to go to sleep!

Honestly I debated doing ‘one last check or not’, of course said yes saw that Frank had posted and said let’s see what’s cooking and next thing I know…we got some nice heavy snow!

Hallelujah!!

Winter ‘21-22. When the Beast Came East!!!

33* moderate to heavy snow, 1/2” otg and BUCKETS of gratitude at GSP Exit 80!!!!
