WPCNR FLAKE-BY-FLAKE FLASH By John F. Bailey. January 25, 2026:

The Sunday snow started at 7 A.M. this morning and by 10:15 A.M had accumulated approximately 5 inches.

The is a skier’s dream: fluffy white power  which when you swerve to a stop makes all the lady skiers take notice.

It took this official shoveler and snow blower pilot 1 hour and 20 minutes to clear my driveway of 5 inches of snow.

However, the snow is continuing it’s 5 inches an hour accumulation rate. One hour later the 5 inches of slow I cleared from my 90 foot driveway had been replaced.

At this rate the snow as beautiful as it is continues the pace of its original forecast by The Weather Channel of 16 inches.

I reckon it will take two more clearings with the snow blower to get the driveway clear.

I await the battery recharging which should be just about done.

It is  a relentless 45 degree angle of fall continuing at this hour.

The temperature is 16 WPCNR SNOWY DEGREES, and the surface under the fallen snow is a wet slippery causing uncertain footing with steering the snowblower.

I warn you after an hour out in this Arctic cold, your fingers become numb in your gloves and your toes become numb even in  your L.L. Bean snow boots.

I cross my fingers that this snow will not last until  Monday evening.

I also suggest you clear it in three stages.

John Bailey reporting from my driveway in a Very White White Plains New York USA, where at 1 P.M. i  have to advise you the wind has picked up, it is now 18 degrees with the wind at 13 miles hour gusting to 26 miles an hour  enhancing the drifting effect  and escalating the difficulty in clearing the “Great White” in an orderly manner that will last.

In fact this drivewat as of 11:15 was cleared to the blackgtop, now at 1:15 PM it is completed been replaced with new snow.
