It's Snowing!

[Sepecat]

Yea! First Snow of the year (I think)…. We are excepting some 3-6 inches of snow by tomorrow morning.... Then it will just be Flurries till Noon....

The Temperature here in Jersey City is:

Currently at 8:18 PM
SNOW Winds SE at 7 KPH
Temperature -10°C/ Humidity 61%
RealFeel Temp -11°C/11°F Visiblity 12 Kilometers

Tonight
Low -11°C Cloudy and frigid with 3-6 inches of snow
RealFeel Temperature™ -24°C.

Thursday

RealFeel Temperature -24°C. Maximum UV 1.

Looking Outside Right Now the parked cars have a good coating of snow…

I took Video of the Snow falling, http://www.geocities.com/nfs350r/SMOV0010.ASF but it is very hard to see, so I had to turn on the Night PIX and point the camera at the street lamp… You can see the snow falling….

Also I took a photo with the Night PIX on and off. Both times point the camera at the Street Lamp.

Anyone else having Snow Right Now???

I’ll try to take a video once the heavy snow starts falling. :)

Got dumped on pretty good here. Don't have a camera so I can't take a pic. We got about 20 cm(6-8 in) here. Had fun plowing it(NOT!) Right now it's -15 C. At least the snow stopped:D

[Commander]

Hmmm, and go figure, I was out today in my T-Shirt drinking beer on the patio. It hit +10 here, and the snow is almost all gone. I know it won't last long though, because I hear next week gets crappy again.

BTW, it isn't really snowing until you can't actually see the street lamps anymore! :D :D

[FeZ]

Jippee it just started snowing over here, not much just a little -^

We had quite a lot of snow between Christmas and the New Year, but beginning of this week, temp got up to 10 degrees C and it was raining for days, so all the snow was gone.

Man I love snow, and I hate rain :D

Good day;

No snow, sky crystal clear, but cold -25c (-13f) 11:00am. Last night was the coldest I have seen in a very long time, my digital thermometer registered -36.6c (-34f), it broke a record for this date going back to 1981. Very happy that I didn't have to go anywhere this morning, not sure the truck would have started.

[[SK]Tammy]

We had a little downfall the other day, but nothing major and it had melted within an hour.

I wish we had some major snow fall here like you have George! :D

:love:

Tammy

[Sepecat]

Tammy, our snow has started melting but still remains brutally cold outside.

We got some 8 inches of snow. We still have flurries, maybe its cause of the wind.

George`

[Spiderman2]

Rain, rain, rain. It's driving me crazy. Seems like weeks. This isn't normal. Or my memory is getting bad.

I'm off to bed. Maybe things will brighten up tomorrow.

[Mickcals]

Snow gees thats got to be better than 30C+ everyday.

Down here in Sydney we've just remembered what rain looks like as the first rain drops of 2004 has begun falling, but only sprinkling.

[Commander]

Next blizzard I get here, I will try to borrow a video camera and wander around outside to capture the carnage. All you snow lovers will quickly realize that snow is just like rain, where a little can be refreshing, but too much can cause disasters, not only immediately, but also in the spring when it thaws and causes major floods.

Ask Canadians about the ice storm down East a few years back, or the great flood in Manitoba, or the big Calgary blizzard of 1998. It causes inconceivable damage, takes lives, costs millions of dollars, and often shuts down cities and schools resulting in hundres of thousands of dollars in lost revenue. Those who just get a light dusting can count your lucky stars, because I am sure even the snow lovers would be singing a different tune if they ever got hit with a major dump. :yikes:

:D George,

it's minus 10 here (no real feel included), and finally it starts feel like winther ^_^

Snowy, hard to park cars in the packed snow, and next days we wait for minus 15..., real feel in Oslo will be like -30... :p


:Peace: :beer:

[WCOutlaw]

Should I reply, shouldn't I? To heck with it:-

Sounds like you've had some nice weather down there George, yesterday it was -23C out there (they said -39C with windchill) here in Toronto...

We've had a shedload of snow, I even saw construction yard graders (machines that grade the earth, maybe they have a different name?) out on the streets trying to shift the snow off - I was out on Tuesday and Wednesday and there was a good 10/12 maybe even 14 inches in places... not bad, I love snow, but like TJ said it gets to be a pain after a while...

Today is lovely and warm, it's only been around -15C in the day (though the wind was harsher, not sure what the windchill value was)... At least it keeps our outdoor rinks usable :D

We're having a heatwave this weekend, meant to go up to -4C! Amazingly warm (and it'll feel like it too, T-shirt weather compared to the -30's we've had recently... ;))

We're pretty warm in Toronto too, the likes of Quebec and further north get it way bad (although ironically TJ and the guys out west have the heat that we had a while back, as those guys get it worse than us I think).

As for the ice storm, I've seen a few books and images, that looked horrific - a very real and tremendous natural disaster (which, I never knew about until I came here - world media sucks).

I'm off to skate, enjoy...

[Commander]

Oh man, I am relieved. While the initial forecast had called for colder (seasonal) temperatures, it has now been updated to another Chinook. Looks like I will have +10 until late next week! :D :D

-11.8 Celsius now, no wind (thank's good forces)

My town is the inner bay of a 200 km fjord, wich makes the air very foggy if freezin temp, the valley-landscapes inland makes the air "flow" very freely in the streets, minus 10 here is like -20 up in mountains where the air is dryer.

My avatar shows me ca. 1000 meters above sealevel, ca. minus 5 Celsius, at the bottom of the skiresort the same moment, ca 200 m.a.s, it was minus 25 Celsius.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Moral; stay high!

Yeasterday it was 0,0 Celsius at noon, then snow cam and now it's -1, almost 5 cm snow tonite :)

Last week I had to clean up my parkingspace with an ice-pick, 20 cm ice-wobbles on the ground started scraping "my" fiberglass skirts :eek: spin spin spin spin :D

[FeZ]

Just woke up, looked outside, all white, everything covered in wonderful snow, fantastico :D

[chris]

I wouldn't mind the snow to be honest..

All of these wild afternoon thunderstorms following very high temperatures are annoying. Yesterdays one was quite bad, though I've seen worse.

One Police officer was lucky - driving his new Ford Falcon back to the Police station. He knew a storm was soon to happen, but was more worried about hail given that it was a brand new car.

But rather than being hit by hail, it got struck by lightning. The tyres blew, and the car hurried to a stop, but the guy was okay. The car however was considerably scorched, but otherwise the occupant survived unhurt.

If he'd had a window down, he might not have faired so well.

It was all seen by a truck-driver who was following the car as it happened. He was amazed to see the Police officer survive.

[Commander]

It has finally come to an end... my good weather, that is. Last night it started snowing, and by this eve, it was a considerable accumulation. Temperatures are slated to drop to -36 in a couple of days, which will certainly bring the end to many poor homeless peoples' lives. :(

While the temps are supposed to rise again before I hit the road next, I am sure that the frozen freeways will take yet more lives before this crap lets up. Snow is only pretty until it is red.

[FIATLOVE]

Many crashes here in winther also :'(
Most of the serious crashes are when snowing, and before the snowcleaner has been there, or when salt-truck has just have been there.
Too many drivers seems not to be aware when the friction changes up and down, and so many are driving with poor tyres.
The only thing that helps a driver to handle driving on snow and ice is practice, and full consentration.
The dirty thing when getting a uncontrolled slide is meeting traffic, even worse is it when meeting traffic are sliding towards you..:help:

Drive carefully


Here is a snowradar from southeast of my country (2 radars), updating every 30 minute :)

Mads,

We're getting a Big Storm Tuesday-Wednesday...

It's going to be 12-18 inches (31-46 Cm) of Snow around the area....

http://abclocal.go.com/images/wabc/2004/wabc_012604_storm3.jpg
By Wednesday morning, we could be under 12-18 inches of snow in Northern New Jersey and in and around New York City and on Long Island. Southward, we'll see just a bit less.


This time I don't have the camera; my parents borrowed it, since they left on a vacation, last week.

But Hell, I love the snow, so it should be fun....

It is stupidly cold here now (like -30 to -36 overnight) but at least we haven't had a big dump of snow. Just a light dusting, which is acceptable. It sounds like you are in for a big dump of white stuff. Better get out your shovel! :p

[Commander]

Hole arse-cakes it's cold out there! My thermo reads -33, and I just had to walk about 3 Km to change a tire for my Dad. Even with all my arctic army gear on, I still felt cold spots on my legs, and my nose was numb, even beneath my Eddie Bauer snomobile mask. If I showed you what I was wearing, you would think I could walk around on Pluto and not be cold, but it is absolutely insane outside!! The wind chill supposedly makes it -47 C, but thankfully I had no exposed skin. :hphones:

[FIATLOVE]

Hi Rok, all :)

I'm a short trip in town for a meeting this evening, will drive back to skiresort appartment tonite, I want to wake up in the slopes :D

I'll come home friday.
Yesterday and today; very pleasent skiing, dry powdersnow all over the skiresort (valley 180 meters above sea, toplift 1188 meter above), sunny and no wind, temp between -3 to -8. Just excellent conditions, perfect.

Today I got Julies digicamera, so we will make some pics and videos of the place and hopefully some ski-action, here is the weather for tomorrow :D

Very close to beat the snowrecord for january.

I've been on a skivacation 100 km west, ca. 50 cm snow came the 3 last days, and it's still snowing, dry light powder.

Yesterday we had kneehigh snow when skiing, some places hip-high

Nice videos Mads, but that car one.. Wow, how can you guys even see where you are going?!!
Insane.

[FIATLOVE]

Hehe, I knew they are shocking;
The camera cannot see what the eye can see, that what's making it look so wild.
In real it was possible to see the sides of the road, at each side of the road there are tiny white reflectors each 50 meter, and the lights ahead was some extra meters (camera has not low enough LUX value)
When meeting cars, you can see it far ahead because of the lights reflecting snowflakes in the sky.

And I know the road well, infact it was one of my best tours ever driving on snow, really nice it was :)



:Peace:

[NewWheel]

Thanks for sharing your picts, movies and memories Mads! -^

They prove that you guys had really great time up there :)
Whole 5 days of skiing on such perfect powder-snow? Ahhhh ... :dreamin:

[DCsplash]

Hey Mads, your meant to get out and clean your headlight every 30 mins in conditions like that;) :D ..

Very nice videos,, looks like a great time was had..

[FIATLOVE]

:D
Yes, normally it's a must to stop and wipe the lamps clean of either ice (packed snow) or salt-dirt, but this night there was no traffic and the snow was extraordinary dry, so it did not pack as much as usual, only the innersides of rear-rims, the rear-window and bumper had some "snow-coating" when we ended the trip (snowpacking onto the car is caused by turbulence, similar to rain)

I know you was joking Mark ;) , still, look at 1st carmovie when I meet the long-veichles, the 2nd long-veichle has clean front, and it has probably followed the 1st one a long way.
If the snow was packing (not dry), the front would be all snowy. ;)


:Peace:

[Commander]

I just got back from a road trip that I didn't think I would live through. On the way up on Friday, we hit a friggin' blizzard and it was a total white-out. You could not see more than 6 feet in front of you, and the snow just covered the highway so no lines were visible, and the ditches blended in so you couldn't even tell where the road was. It was genuinely frightening, because you wouldn't dare stop for fear of being run into by a semi or something, and there was absolutely no way of telling when a safe turnout spot was coming up. Basically, I had to just guess where the road was and hope for the best. Unlike dozens of other motorists who landed in the ditch, I managed to keep the van on the road and somehow made it through safely. The aftermath is pretty grim too, and the roads are still covered in snow and are slippery as hell. I hate snow, plain and simple, I wish it would all just GO AWAY! :wall:

[FIATLOVE]

Glad you made it home safe Commander, driving in that sort of weather is shitty scary.
Rest well, you deserve it :)
