Inch or 2 at best all rain/sleet now

by **essexcountypete** on Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:32 am

We got about 1.25" snow here in Bloomfield, then it changed over to sleet around 10:40, sleeted like crazy until 11, and now we have freezing rain and a temp of 31.5. Just went out to salt the walk and it is treacherous.

Great idea, but be careful. It's a sheet of ice here ATM.

1130 AM. Steady snow that strongly resembles sugar, fine and powdery, swept just as easily as shoveled on my porch. 3.5, maybe 4 inches so far. One of the few times I've made out better as the outlander.

Sleet here now Doc...

by **Dtone** on Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:41 am

Same here. Temp 32. We have to watch for a flash freeze tonight if the winds don't dry up the moisture.

1.75" and 26.8°, still snow atm...

OK Janet, thanks for the heads up.Looks like I'm just starting to change.There was a last blast of heavy snow a few minutes ago.Stopped completely.That usually means it's changeover time.

by **dkodgis** on Wed Feb 07, 2018 12:13 pm

12:15 pm here. Still snowing and about 3 inches...more on the plus side, closer to four. Still snowing. Small flakes, steady, and not yet changing over. Temp is 24

by **Radz** on Wed Feb 07, 2018 12:16 pm

Changed to a mix of sleet and freezing rain with a few flakes thrown in, 27.5°

by **rb924119** on Wed Feb 07, 2018 12:20 pm

Think I'm hearing sleet mixing in now in Fishkill, NY. Never really had any heavy snow, generally a steady light snow with a brief period or two of near moderate snow. Can't get to a window right now, but I'd say 2.5-3" would be a good approximation base on when I last checked. Will confirm in a bit.

And his blizzard is still more than I've gotten all winter, even if this storm drops another 2 or 3". But then, is any true snow weenie ever happy with how much snow they get?

Well I was way wrong lol 2" on the nose with a light wintry mix of snow, sleet, and (freezing?) rain here in Fishkill.

I don't think it's possible, buddy. We are all afflicted with an illness that can never be cured ahaha

by **aiannone** on Wed Feb 07, 2018 12:58 pm

Still 32.6* here. Didn’t think the cold would hang on this long.

Good news is the next storm we won’t have to worry or wait so long for the changeover. It’ll be February 10th and it may just start off as rain from the get go. That Damn Mikey Math kid was right two weeks ago when we all wanted to muzzle him

Jimmy, like some others here have mentioned, I would rather have just all snow or all rain.Slop is on my s__t list for sure.
