Damn, now I have to adjust my travel plans for the next 46 days. Does this account for mixing?

Where in the HV are you located?

.34 inches here.

1.57 inches. Looking 25 miles west to Port Jervis. Looks like about a half an inch. This would've been a very tough cut off line between eastern and Western Orange County had this been a winter event. I guess since the whole county needed rain, it's a tough cut off period.

1.14 inches total here. 25 miles to my west (port jervis, high point NJ area) I'm guessing they are hard pressed for half an inch. If this were a snow event there would be a huge cutoff and lots of snow deprived.

Looks like the wind, the rain made it up here overnight. Almost an inch so far .90. Hopefully can match that today it's needed.

I personally don't have data to go far enough back for that. I was going by the averages for the first freeze at Montgomery and Poughkeepsie which average out to October 12.

Same here bottomed down at 28° this morning. First frost, freeze and hard freeze all on the same day pretty much in line date wise with the average for the first freeze of the season.

Highland Mills NY now 32.8 after the 2.5 on the 12th.

Cloudy most of today but 90% of the snow cover was gone by mid afternoon. I'm at 600 feet but the hills around me are at 900 feet, when I drove through there just an hour ago, they still had a solid 2 to 3 inch snow cover everywhere.

Do you keep track of the number of days with snow cover?

A very hardy, sun Angle, resistant snow cover for mid April. Max depth here on snowboard was 2.5 inches although the lawn was closer to 3.5 in most spots. The water content with the changes back and forth to sleet had to o be at least .60 I would think, which I'm sure is part of the reason we still had a sold snow cover this morning, despite the late August equivalent sun angle. I have to add this to my notes for next February when inevitably someone brings up increasing sun angle for an event. Final season tally now at 32.8 inches with 51 days of snow cover. Much better than last year with similar snow total 30.6 inches but half the days of snow cover last year at 26. Having normal cold this winter, at least until the terrible March ending, was nice for a change.

The most surprising thing about this storm is how little snow has melted in 24 hours considering it's the middle of April. I ended up with 2 1/2 to 3 inches of snow on various parts of my property I ended the day yesterday With about the same snow depth. I wake up this morning to about 2 inches of snow on the ground. What happened to that sun angle that some people start to talk about in the middle of February? I would think the middle of April it really would've done a job yesterday even with a cloud cover. Same sun angle in the middle of April as late August.

Higher totals in interior SE NY.

Looks like finishing up the last batch here. Totals look to stay at 2.5 inches. If we didn't get those couple of changes to sleet this would've easily been a 4-5 inch event here.
