Severe Weather Threat For 2020

The state made the power company upgrade the poles since some hadn't been changed in 30 years. Since we moved here over 16 years ago, the power company has done a much better job with keeping trees away from the power lines, this year it was Nelson Boone Company that did that job.

Same here, in the last two years a tremendous amount of trimming and upgrading was done. They used Asplundh. Guess its cheaper in the long run rather then bringing in subs from all over in a disaster. I know its a financial decision rather than a customer satisfaction one.

We are on the very southern edge of all this nastiness. We watched some pretty impressive thunderheads move across to the northeast last night. Lots of lightening. We were on the edge of one storm and got some much needed rain and some small hail. I’ve seen much worse, but it was still a bizarre experience to hear it pounding down in the dark in January.

How did you fare, @Grizzerbear?

We made out alright. There were two or three tornadoes in the area....fair play and strafford tgat i know of for sure. We got 5.13 inches of rain tho. Its snowing now....wont add up to much but im happy

This is the low water bridge that washed out on the way to our house. Pretty common tho with heavy rains here.
The pic doesnt do justice but those are some big ole flakes right now!!

Good to hear it mostly missed you. The reports from Lubbock to Dallas were not good.

First round came through last night. Freezing rain. Reeked havoc on my pines.

I hate ice storms. They can do incredible damage to trees and are really dangerous.

The weather service is saying we could get as much as .75" of ice, still warm enough now for rain, the generator is on standby.

 

[thewoodlands]

We didn't get any ice overnight which is ok with us and I doubt we'll get much today.

 

[Gearhead660]

Our 6-12" they predicted ended up being 1-2"...off by a bit. At least its white outside now.

We lost all our snow because of the heavy rains yesterday, it will be another short snowmobile season in this area, maybe February and the beginning of March.

Just a light glazing here, better than the .75-1" they said was possible.

Happy to hear that so far it has not been too bad.

Last night coming back from Potsdam NY, the temp stayed at 36 all the way home, that was the same temp Waddington NY had.

The previous ice storm we had was worse but not real bad.

 

[thewoodlands]

Will we have another chance of a possible weekend storms, maybe one tracking across the Great Lakes and another setting up off the New England coast on Friday and Saturday.

My property borders on the Grasse River, I walked down to it this morning and in the summer what is usually calm rapids is now a raging river.

Likewise out here. Sometimes with big rivers.

The brook on our property is running pretty good but still inside the banks, usually in the spring it gets pretty wild.

Gotta be wild at Lampson Falls!

 

[thewoodlands]

Gotta be wild at Lampson Falls!

I bet it is, the power company loves it.

I was thinking of the Raquette River not the Grass River, are there any power dams below Lampson Falls on the Grass River?

No , at least none I'm aware of.

 

[thewoodlands]

We have a possible 4-8 inches of snow coming in starting tomorrow night with wind gust of 35 mph.

 

[thewoodlands]

This is what NOAA is calling for in our area, we'll see what we get.

The last ice storm missed us by about 1.5 miles to the northeast.

I don't mind a miss on an ice storm.

Take snow over ice anytime.
