As we have seen numerous times in the last two decades in many areas of this sub forum.

2.8 inches as of 6AM. 25° moderate snow. The last hour 1.0 inch even. If just being on the edge of the heavy bands got me that it must be heaven for you guys in the middle of it.

25.0° and 1.8 inches as of 5AM, still snowing but light to sometimes moderate would describe it best. If I can eke out three inches from this I'll call it a win.

If this one somehow covers the lawn completely, which usually takes 2.5 to 3 inches I'll consider it a win. It's 50-50 where I am in Orange County if that even happens.

Nice, now maybe I can get some sleep. Hoping I wake up to find the other 6Z’s fall in line.

I don’t have access but I’m guessing the Euro wasn’t a good run or i’d see some posts regarding the last run ?

Of course hoping for snow Thursday night but also hoping for a sub zero night or two next week. I haven’t recorded sub zero for the past two winters and that’s a first in my lifetime. Would like that streak to end.

I'm guessing a last minute jog 125 miles or so north is not in play?

It must be an aging thing. I could never get enough of the snow and cold but I’m actually enjoying this delayed autumn. I’m old enough to remember several October snows in this area. October 18, 1972, October 3, 1987 which was actually over a foot in many parts of the Hudson Valley. I especially remember parts of Dutchess having significant tree damage. Probably the closest we’ve ever been to a significant summer snow event at least in my lifetime. October 29, 2011 15 inches IMBY and four pear trees that made the ultimate sacrifice so I could enjoy a rare white Halloween. That being said this has to be the latest in the season I haven’t even recorded a low in the 30’s. It looks like that will finally happen Monday morning, and I’m okay with this. Like I said earlier it must be an aging thing. The young CP would never have accepted this gracefully.

We always have February 2010, 3 feet of snow while they got rain.

From the Hudson Valley in NY, I'm sick with envy. Enjoy the ride New England.

Actually the jackpot in the May 9, 1977 event was one of the small towns in the Catskills that received 27 inches, I can't remember the name though. Many of the higher elevation towns in Orange County were snow covered by that event. Last May 9th's snow event was great but the 1977 event blew that away. Just like last year there was even a trace in NYC.

That’s just not true IMO. He makes general comments and if it doesn’t live up to expectations in one area of the forum he claims victory. It’s a large area with lots of different micro climates.

And your feeling of total euphoria regarding that, comes out in even a simple one sentence post.

You've always been an easy grader, all of the past winters say that, that's why they all try to get into your class. This is a B and we've already been through all the reasons this doesn't come close to an A unless we had a March similar to 2018. With the way this March is going this winter is dropping into the C+, B- category. March in the HV has to produce something in the first three weeks of the month at least, not this year and 1-2 inches Friday won't cut it.

It depends on where in the forum you live. I’m sure people on the jersey shore gave up on winter two months ago.

Hey Mud Season grades don't come out until Mid April. An early A+ though for sure.

It is a beautiful day, yet I still want this to verify on the 18th-19th. How can someone love both?

60° and I'm officially calling an end to the snowpack today (trumpets play, the choir sings). Although there's still a surprising amount of snow coverage at noon today we are near or below the 50% threshold and I can't in good conscience call this a day with snow cover. For the season it's 53 days of snowpack and 43 straight days from January 27 through March 11th. I'm one of those people that doesn't want winter to end until the middle of April but it's been a decent winter so I'm okay with 60° today and melting snow/iceberg, it actually feels great. No complaints though if it snows next week. 59.4 inches for the season, I'd still like to make it to the 65-70 inch range.

Still 2.5 inches otg with about 75% coverage. I'm sure if today doesn't put an end to the streak tomorrow will. A nice run, 42 days consecutive with snow cover and 52 for the season so far, it lets me appreciate winter and move on to the next season without feeling cheated.

Just going through that period with no one other than Ihatesnowman19 calling for a torch, (and he is limited to how many times a day he can say it) or even saying the word torch, was a welcome break from the last two non-winters.

The worst was this Christmas Eve. I still had about 6-8 inches of snow otg Christmas Eve and woke up to A green Christmas Morning. The Weather Channel should have given that storm one of its stupid winter storm names. They should have named it winter storm “&$?!!/&$/)($&”

I still don't quite understand why anyone would want a hot summer. For what purpose? A normal summer with low to mid 80's as highs and low 60's in the early am, I live in the HV and that's the norms, is perfect weather, why do people covet 90's?

Looking back on 2014/15 I would agree that was also an A. The only negatives were a lousy December with 1 inch of snow for the whole month but we had 11.4 inches in November and a solid March of snow which offset it. Both January and February were excellent months, no huge storms but lots of 2, 4 and 8 inch stuff and below normal temps all 3 months January through March. Solid snow cover through most of the period. An A for sure.

Today marks the 40th straight day with snow cover, I began the streak on January 27th, and 50 days of snowcover for the season. Right now it's a soild B for the winter. If something big did develop for next Monday and lasted the week we would be in B+, territory in my book. I reserve the A's for the top 15% winters and this is not that IMO. Temps above normal for the season, never got below 0, Christmas Eve debacle, no snow to speak of in January all the things already spoken of here. In the last dozen years 2009/10, 2010/11, 2013/14 those were all recent A's, again IMO.
