So you called that in?

The depth for my town is low for that time of day.

 

[Ben Ruset]

Just a few flurries here in Asbury.

Nice photo Ben, it really conveys a good old fashioned snow storm.

 

[Teegate]

It is reading 12 inches here on my back step.

 

[46er]

Just a nuisance snow here, maybe 5-6" total, but it is very light, leaf blower stuff. A bit different not far to the NW from here. Another one forecast for next week.

 

[Ben Ruset]

I was out on Sandy Hook yesterday and kept finding spots that were more than a foot deep.

I was out on Sandy Hook yesterday and kept finding spots that were more than a foot deep.

The wind was the worst part, they would plow and 5 minutes later it would look like they didn't. Did you see the Snowy Owl's out there?

 

[Ben Ruset]

No, but I wasn't looking.

 

[Boyd]

I got (maybe) two and a half inches here, no big deal. Yesterday's drive to Newark was fine. The southern part of the Parkway was only partially cleared, but still passable - was driving 40 to 50 mph most of the way. Quite a novelty to be one of the only cars on the Parkway in the morning. North of the 100 mile marker, the road was quite clear but traffic was still much lighter than usual.

My only issue was that my windsheild squirters were frozen the whole way and the salty mess on the windshield combined with sun glare made it hard to see. They thawed for a brief while when after I picked up my friend in NYC and went to Newark, then froze right back up while driving back home. I need to get a better brand of washer fluid I guess.

It sure didn't look like a very big snowfall anywhere I went. Nothing like some of the big storms we've seen during the past 7 or 8 years. I think the media hype is a great thing though. I mentioned this before - they do a good job of scaring people so they stay home clutching their bread and milk, leaving the roads free for the work crews and people who really need to travel.

I have a similar problem with the Escape. Instead of having a separate fluid bottle in the rear as our Explorer had, they use the one in the engine compartment. The line to the rear washer freezes up. Tried Prestone De-Icer washer fluid when we had the cabin and never had another freeze up, in the line or on the windshield. It's yellow, like P, works great as a washer or windshield de-icer.

 

[dogg57]

We got about 13 here........Boyd I will send you some

 

[46er]

Forget the bread and milk. Next storm you'll need toilet paper!!!

 

[geezerfinneran]

Hey Weather Channel : that's pretty crappy !

 

[Boyd]

Tried Prestone De-Icer washer fluid when we had the cabin and never had another freeze up, in the line or on the windshield..

Thanks - I think that's the brand I used when I lived near Lake Ontario. Lines didn't thaw until about noon today. I think the stuff I am using now is just water with blue dye. After yesterday, 24 degrees feels like a heat wave.

@Dogg: Thanks, I will take it! But I can't take delivery until July... is that OK?

 

[ecampbell]

Prestone works for me, I won't touch the blue stuff.
