You mean bxengines car? No, I have no idea what a stratus is, other than a cloud type.

Really, three inches? I can’t believe the difference is that extreme 8 miles away. Very odd, I usually get more than New Windsor but not to that extreme. Are you in butterhill or near the river? I lived in butterhill in the late 80’s early 90’s and always found myself on the short end of snowfalls.

The finally tally here is an even 9 inches. I started to doubt myself even though I measured in several spots and went on the NWS site and saw a trained spotter recorded 8.4 inches from Highland Mills. I picked up over 2.5 inches of it from 9:15 to 11:15, accumulating snow stopped within the next half hour. Definitely exceeded my expectations. Seems to happen a lot here. Must be something about the topography and just being south enough and east enough without being close to the river. Elevation is only 650 feet so it's about average in the town.

It still sounds a little light. Thought they were in the 10-11 inch range from what I saw from Central Park. Who even takes the measurements there now? Did they take it from The Conservancy? They weren’t perfect but certainly a lot better than the zookeeper before them.

Did you lose a bet on the GFS on Draftkkings and are trying to convince them you really won? You’re usually pretty sensible but I just don’t get this argument at all.

Legitimate or just because they didn't bother to measure properly (or at all) like so many other storms over the last 50 years?

I've been busy all day so it may have already bee discussed but are we buying the 7.5 inch figure from Central Park? Looks like to me like one of the measurements from the Zookeeper days. I don't live in the city so from those who do is it legit?

We never really got into the subsidence areas I'm just far enough east to avoid it and I saw them 10 miles to my west and north on radar. The last three hours were actually the best I observed has really tapered off now though. Probably will finish with not much added to the 8, I can't complain.

8 inches up here in Eastern Orange County NY, 11° and moderate snow down a lot from the heavier we received the last two hours. About a foot on the ground now. I know other totals south and east are prolific but if I get to 10 it's an over performer for sure up here, actually it already is.

Their all time record is 28.2 inches so they have a good shot to break it. Bastards.

And to add to that anything from Orange County and Putnam County north they pretty much view as Canada.

I measured 5 inches about an hour ago. Gonna go snow blow now so I'll get a better handle on it and measure several different spots. Just checking, but I include what I already had on the ground so we can at least compete with the LI folks?

5 inches so far in highland mills in Orange county. 9 degrees and moderate snow continues. GFS had me for 0 inches Thursday night. End of story at least for how it performed up here.

12° here steady moderate to borderline heavy snow. 3.5 inches as of 4:45. will try to get back to sleep now. Not sure how that's gonna work out. Was predicting 8 and I may get there, at least I hope.

12° with 3.5 inches of new snow on the ground in Highland Mills in Orange County 50 miles due north of midtown, and snowing moderate to occasionally heavy. This wasn't on any maps yesterday. Looks like the WWA for 3-5 may be a bust low here. Doubt they'll upgrade to a warning now but who cares. I was hoping for 6-8 here and it looks like it could happen, dare I say more.

25° light to moderate snow, amount to be determined but not tonight. Waiting on the deathbands, the incoming, and the 30 to 1 ratios with our colder temperatures up here. Put them all together and I'm thinking we may jackpot.

Here in Orange County NY, I've had a solid snow cover since January 7th, I would guess you're about the same .

Heat back on in the house I've been out of touch for awhile. How do the latest NAVGEM and ICON look?

Should that come to fruition, where will you be celebrating tomorrow?

Doesn't sound like a horrible weekend. Heat went out in our house about 1:00, waiting on SOS (our Oil company) to see if they can fix today, dropped 5° in the house already. This could make for a fun weekend if they can't fix it. And through all that all I can still think of is this fickle storm. I really need mental help. We all do.

Since the beginning it's almost been a 24 hour cycle with this F'n storm. East one day, west the next, east the next, then west. At least tonight's 0Z's should be our day to go west again. Hopefully it won't be to late for most of us to get something fairly significant (4-6, 6-10). I'm holding to my 8 inch prediction for Eastern Orange County. I may go down in flames but so be it.

35 inches in Highland Mills my favorite storm of all time. I believe we were the jackpot area for that one in Orange County, the Monroe trained spotter came in with 34. There were places in the Catskills that were in the 40-50 inch range. I think Monticello recorded 38. Of course what made it extra special was most of New England getting rain the whole time. I still feel guilty for taking such pleasure in that to this very day.

A reasonable call. I would add 3 inches to all of them and that would be my call. I guess I'm just the eternal optimist.

So what are you saying? The 6Z NAM Kuchera map showing 30-40 inches in the city and 18-24 through Eastern Orange County and Dutchess was wrong? I'm trying to downplay my expectations now. 29° and light snow with no accumulations. Kind of what tomorrow morning could look like. My expectations haven't changed that much. I do expect 6-8 inches where I am in Eastern Orange County and 10 would be a great victory. Any less would be disappointing but certainly not a surprise, and anything above 10 a gift from the snow gods.

It's showed up on enough different models on several different runs so it is a concern. especially for those of us to the N&W.
