    4.8 inches here, 55.3 on the season and 16.5 otg. This month is getting close to March 2018 totals for me.

    And you shall remain George001 and not King George as some were ready to coronate you if you were right. Alas I was one of them, hoping you would wear the royal robes tonight.

    4.4 inches in Central Park as of 7:00 PM tonight which should be close to their final total for the storm. 25.6 inches for February now which breaks into the top ten for February at number 8. This is well deserved after last years February became only the fifth in over 150 years of records to record only a trace of snow for the entire month. 38.2 inches for the season or 8.2 inches above their full seasonal normal.

    I actually enjoyed that winter more than the winter of 95-96. It was colder, my all time low of -23°, and in Orange County both years were 100+ inches of snow.

    They had the same 3.2 inches at 1:00 pm yesterday in the Park so that final at midnight of 3.2 inches is highly questionable. Shocking they would under measure at Central Park

    Wow, what a lightweight. To each his own I suppose.

    Light snow and 23° officially 2.0 inches since last night and 3.5 inches since yesterday morning. 54.0 inches for the season.

    22° and moderate snow. The last hour I've seen the best snowfall rates and snow growth since this began yesterday morning. From the looks of the radar it won't stay at this rate much longer but it certainly made for an enjoyable cup of coffee. Looks like about 2.0 inches since last night.

    22° with light/moderate snow, about 2 new inches since midnight already surpassing yesterdays totals here. The February that keeps giving. Today is the 33rd day with snow cover here,and 23rd consecutive day with snow cover and 19th straight day with snow cover of a foot or more. The minimum I ask of a winter is 30 consecutive days of snow cover and 50 days or more during the season and it looks like this winter may deliver that.

    Kind of like how the zookeeper took official measurements in Central Park for decades. The exception being he would usually times his eyeball number by 4/5ths

    3.2 inches in Central Park as of 1:00 PM. 24.4 inches for February now, which breaks into the top ten for February at number 10. 37.0 inches for the season or 7 inches above the full seasonal normal

    Looks like it's pretty much over for wave 1 here. I'm going to call it at 1.5 inches and try to pretend that this never happened and lick my wounds and move on. 52 inches for the season now and 13.5 inches otg so I can't bitch too much.
  13. CPcantmeasuresnow
    A snooze fest atm, hoping this picks up in the next hour or two. light snow 22.1°
  14. CPcantmeasuresnow
    The radar makes it look like it's snowing in Orange County right now. Nothing hitting the ground that I can see yet.

    That May 9-10 1977 snow storm was awesome and so unique. Everything was in bloom in HV and most of the leaves were out on the trees. I never thought I'd see it again, and then May 9-10 2020 happened. Although not to the degree of the 1977 event, but accumulating snow in the middle of the day on May 10 with the temp at 33° at 2:00 pm with heavy snow even if for 15-20 minutes was one of those moments you had to savor. Plus waking up to over an inch on the ground that morning. Amazing the May 10 sun angle didn't seem to affect the accumulations., like it does in late February

    NYC received 20.9 inches from the storm. Where I am in Orange County, Highland Mills, I received 35 inches which is my biggest storm of all time, Middletown in Orange County had 30 inches and Monroe also had 35 inches. 40 miles due east of me in Danbury CT I believe they received 7 inches of snow, the rest rain and In most of New England that storm was all rain. One of the few times in my life I was actually ready for the snow to end when it did. It was very wet and heavy, I thought my roof might actually collapse.

    Nam has Poughkeepsie area in .5-.6 qpf with temps in lows 20's throughout. That could easily translate to 7-9 inches of snow.
  18. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Snowpack was 16 inches at the end of day yesterday, down to an even 12 inches at the end of the day today. I could only guess but I assume the LE is 3-4 inches in that pack, which once it freezes up again the next couple of days should make it very sun resistant. Hoping to add 6-12 Thursday & Friday and have a snowpack through at least mid March or hopefully longer. We shall see.
  19. CPcantmeasuresnow
    36° not to much snow pack damage here, still 14 inches otg, down 2 inches from yesterday.
  20. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Temp 32.5° snow pack at 14.5 inches was 16 late yesterday afternoon. So compacting going on with the feezing rain/rain that fell but overall not bad. If I get to tonight with a foot still otg I'll call it a win and hope for a rebuild on Thursday.

    You do realize 90 degrees in April in NYC is pretty rare. There have been 12 Aprils in 152 years of record keeping that have had a day of 90 or above in NYC. Since a few of those 12 years had 2 days, or in 1976 & 2002 3 days, there have been 19 days in total in April of 90 degrees of 4,560 total April days in that period. The average is a about every 12 years or so NYC sees a 90 degree day in April so not far from the 11 year cycles you reference.

    If you live anywhere 30 miles or more NW, N or NE of NYC I’m not sure why you would expect March to be anything but another winter month which is what it is the far majority of the time. I guess some people on the coastal plain view it differently, but I’ve lived here most of my life and have never counted on extended warmer weather until late April the earliest.

    4° and 18 inches of snow otg, paradise. I can't visit the other NYC forums anymore. I believe Julian alluded to something similar in the last few days. The things I read there it's like being on another planet. They've never seen snow like this, they've never seen snow otg this long before, they've never seen an ice storm, they've never experienced sub zero cold. Where do some of these people live, has the NYC forum extended down to the Carolinas? I know the NJ Coastal plain and NYC is a different climate than the HV, NWNJ and interior CT but it seems over the top to me. Just one mans opinion.

    0.7 inches here, 50.5 on the season 18.5 otg. Very remiss of me. Carrying the last name of measuresnow you would think I would be more conscientious

    It's actually tied for 14th. The way many of those online lists work when two periods are tied, in this case 1898/99 and 1919/20 at 25.3 inches, they include both of those years as one place on their list and then increment to the next number not two places past as it should. In this case there are 13 seasons ahead of Feb 2021's 21.2 inches which make this month and 1995/96 tied for 14th at 21.2 inches.
