    What is your elevation there?
  2. CPcantmeasuresnow
    At this stage (5 miles west of the river, 600ft asl) anything less than 6 will be a disappointment, expectations are for 8-10, anything over 10 is gravy.
  3. CPcantmeasuresnow
    You could still see 8-10 there and hopefully you do.
  4. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Pretty sure most of Orange County should be in that, no need to go all the way up to Ellenville.
  5. CPcantmeasuresnow
    To close to the river. In the HV you usually want to be west of the river at least 5 miles for the optimal snows, elevation will matter in this event more than usual.

    The record is kind of a joke anyway since LGA and JFK both have had 1.0 in that time frame, and so has the Park, they just haven't recorded it, the 0.9 the perfect example. I'm sure whoever is not doing their job measuring today and tomorrow at the Park will insure the record stays intact. It's a 150+ year track record of ineptness that they wear proudly.

    Provided they even measure. These marginal sloppy events they don't even bother sometimes.

    I think we'll do fine up here. SNE coast will be a shit shoe and Boston will probably mix. Why do people always congratulate Boston three days before a storm? This happened all last winter and they barely ended up with 10 inches of snow. Last winter sucked but we (Orange County) at least broke 24 inches for the winter.

    And to anyone that has followed this storm with realistic expectations that should be a shock to no one. Unfortunately many people like to believe they will be in the jackpot no matter what the guidance tells them. Clown maps are the biggest purveyor of this thinking.

    I read the main thread less and less other than Walt's write ups and the moderator post. I get a lot more pertinent information for our area reading the New England Forum posts than most NYC metro posts.

    Was this photo taken from Whiteface?

    Love Walt's write ups but shouldn't this storm be on its own thread starting today?
  13. CPcantmeasuresnow
    You paint an ugly picture, but you may not be far off. Hopefully things dry out a lot between now and next weekend.

    This kind of answered my question but I'd like clarification please. I booked a room in Lake George NY for April 7-9, so I'll be less than an hour from the south edge of the path of totality. If I only drive to the southern edge is the 100% totality just seconds long then as opposed to right in the center where it will be 3-4 minutes?

    What college? It's not often you hear of others on crew teams in college. I was on crew at the University of Wisconsin. Grueling sport, the football coach would send players he wanted to punish to workout with us. A different era, if a coach did that now the kid would probably enter the transfer portal the next day and the coach might get reprimanded for invading the kids safe space. No weather to speak of. Nice to have that opening to talk about anything but weather.

    As a former seven year resident of New Windsor that moved 30 years ago to highland mills, I can certainly verify that as fact. The best 8 mile move I could have made snow wise. Just wish at the time I had the foresight to purchase a north facing front lawn.

    Hellooooooooo!!!!!!! Is anyone here? Three days without comments? Is this hangover from the non winter of 22/23 or disgust with the beginning of the Winter, and I use the term loosely now just to reference a season that once existed, of 23!24? low of 27 this morning already near freezing. The average low this day is 20. I haven't seen that yet this season.
  18. CPcantmeasuresnow
    31 at 5 am in highland mills eastern Orange County.
  19. CPcantmeasuresnow
    31 at 5am. Latest sub freezing in awhile. I’ll have to look back into the records when I wake up. I seem to remember one in the May 20-25 time frame in the early 2000’s.

    FDU beats Purdue . Never thought it would actually happen right to the end. Wow.
  21. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Yes Binghamton actually set their all time record from one storm in that event. I believe it was 40.0 inches even.
  22. CPcantmeasuresnow
    It is amazing what a March sun and a 38 degree day will do to what was yesterday a 10 inch, albeit briefly, snowpack. Started this morning with 9 inches otg and was about 5 by sunset. The same temperature in mid December or early January we would barely lose an inch of that. Just another reason I prefer December snow over Mid and late March.

    You know the big problem this would solve, the constant references like "oh boy just saw the Euro we're done". And I always think who's done? It's a big forum, is Suffolk done Nassau, the Jersey coast, SW CT, Orange Sussex and Putnam, NYC? I dream of a world where we can declare the GFS says we're done for zones 1 & 2, but 5 & 6 get buried. Rgem just annihilated zones 3 & 4, 5 & 6 not so much. That is my Utopia, a man can dream can't he?
  24. CPcantmeasuresnow
    I wholeheartedly endorse this list. And as much as I love Dons posts, I wish he could take out Philadelphia from the daily updates and any reference to it. Regarding the zones you propose Philadelphia is only relevant to a small portion of zone 2, no others. They have their own forum let them stay there. Maybe substitute HPN for Philadelphia in the temperature references? In the updates it much better serves regions 2-6 than any reference to Philadelphia. Just one Eagle hating persons opinion.

    According to the NWS most recent guidelines the snowfall for the day is the maximum depth measured during the day so in your case 10 inches. According to the @IrishRob17most recent guidelines the depth is measured to the nearest inch which for you this morning would be 8 inches and for my purposes 9 inches. Just kidding with Rob of course as the depth measurements are also the NWS guidelines. One editorial comment. The new guidelines, passed several years ago I believe, replaced the old guidelines which were wipe the board clean every six hours and total at the end of the day and begin anew at midnight. For official reporting sites I always thought that made the most sense. For average people like us, I do consider myself a little above average, it should not be this complicated, we do the best we can and go with it. That is all for today. I do have a business and I have put in 0 hours since last Friday tracking this thing.
