And so did Manhattan. 36 inches measured in Brooklyn, 45 in New Haven, 48 inches in Albany, 58 in Saratoga Springs and Bridgeport 18 and Manhattan 21. It must be some kind of sacred pact between Bridgeport and NYC that goes back to the beginning of official records to always under measure snow. I've studied many old photos from that storm and there is no way that was any less than three feet in Manhattan. One also has to remember there was no snow on the ground when that storm hit.

Let's start a thread.

Perish the thought. No not a city boy, it's fine for some, but I could never live there, or any city for that matter. I grew up in Rockland but as an adult I've lived my entire life in Orange County. The first five years in New Windsor and the last 30+ in Highland Mills. I never did think of joining. Other than snowfall, days of snow cover and first freezes, first hard freeze, last freeze,sub zero days, I don't really track daily, highs and lows or even rainfall.

What's with the no totals for anywhere in Orange County? Some of these seem pretty far off, on the plus and minus side. @The 4 Seasonsmaps blow this away.

Amazing a tight circle north, south, east and west within 6 miles either way surrounds Central Park with 23-27 inch storm totals. Dead center in the middle central Parks 19.7. I've grown numb to it over the years. Maybe not totally numb LOL.

Yeah every big storm. Total BS but whatever.

And central Park ignored all of the snow from 1 PM to 4 PM that day and stuck with 19.7. Typical and happens more often than not.

Neck and neck between you and Central Park. Badhow just that north central portion of the county was scrooed so far. Even the northwest sections I believe are all in the 50's @snywx . Lets see what we can squeak out tomorrow. As long as it doesn't mess with my flight out of Newark tomorrow afternoon. Looks like we @Juliancoltonpicked a good week to leave. No fears of much winter weather to be missed the 3-10 period.

Did anyone record anything this morning? I measured 0.3. 60.2 now on the season.

@The 4 Seasons60.2 inches through March 1. Highland Mills NY Orange County.

Moderate snow. Will definitely get the .1 I need to go over 60 for the season.

Here comes the sun.

I know everyone likes to use 1970 to 1999. Actually, the thirty year averages are calculated 1971 to 2000. That 30 year average of 22.2 is by far the lowest of any 30 year period. That was about as normal as 1991 to 2020 average of 29.8. The 156 year average since Central Park has been keeping totals is 28.5 inches. I still have no idea who decided the 30 year averages is what we would use. I always thought a 50 year would be a much better measure and allow for crazy decades like the 70s 80s and 2010's. The running 30 year average 1996-2025 right now is 28. 3 inches which includes the horrible four previous seasons prior to this one.

Some great stats for Newark, going back to the 1850's? Where do they come from before the airport was established?

24° and freezing fog. The winter that doesn't want to end. Unfortunately it may for awhile after next week. 74 days of snow cover and counting. I know it's a resilient snow pack but I give it another week. Even given 2-3 more inches tonight and Tuesday.
