  1. It was a good area for that storm 45 inches in New Haven, but the jackpot was actually the Albany Saratoga region in NY. Albany had 48 inches and Saratoga 58 inches. Most of the HV was over 40.
  2. And in one nights run that has now changed to low 30's for Sunday highs here and upper 30's in NYC. That's a huge change inn one model run and all models seem to be on board. Still 2-3 days out wonder how far this can trend?
  3. I have to say it one more time. This thread was a fantastic idea. Thanks again for updating and maintaining this. It's a great way to scroll through the whole winter.
  4. To those of us that have this insane love of snow it's hard to describe to non-snow people. Where I am, which is approximately 50 miles due north of Midtown Manhattan, I'm approaching 30 inches of snow for the season and more importantly snow cover for over 35 days. That's probably near normal for my area to this point in time, and it's really all it takes for me to wake up in the morning and feel good. Looking outside at a simple scene like what you posted just brings a calmness, peacefulness, call it serenity. I thought by my age it would wear off but it's 50+ years and I can tell you you don't outgrow it, which is actually a good thing.
  5. It's not, except they are the biggest city in the United States and they've been doing it for years. Sometimes it gets better for a short while when they pay attention. And I get it about Bridgeport too. They are always suspiciously low.
  6. And you believe the 1.6 surrounded by a sea of 2 and 3 somethings was a legit timely accurate measurement? Okay whatever.
  7. Just seeing this for the first time and appreciate you doing this. as of today in Highland Mills NY in eastern Orange County I'm at 28.3 inches YTD. Most of the Orange County observers that keep track are between 25-30 right now.
  8. Thank you for posting a map that includes us northern folk. Even though we interbreed we still have feelings regarding snow. I still don't get why we need so many maps including all of Delaware and Maryland. I think I can safely argue they are not part of our forum.
  9. Final here was 3.9 seasonal total now 28.3. Busted low but overall this winter is still solid for me. Average cold, sustained snow cover and snowfall near average for the date.
  10. 3.9 inch final tally here, 28.3 for the season. A B- so far, 34 days of snow cover and a white Christmas and average to slightly below average cold No complaints with this winter, was expecting 6-7 but we've had almost non stop snow cover since the January 19th 8 inch storm. On To Thursday for here, doubtful Tuesday night reaps much for those of us to the N & W.
  11. Saw a report of 2.8 inches in Central Park at 10:40. If that verifies it at least puts them at 10.1 for the season Two single digit totals in a row was a first, would be nice for them not to make it three in a row.
  12. 3.5 inches as of 11 PM, 27.9 now for the season. From the look of the current and future radar 6-8 is not happening, 5 will be a stretch.
  13. 11:00 PM, first and last measurement of the night 3.5 inches, 25° and moderate snow, now at 27.9 inches for the season.
  14. That would be so out of character, they always seem to place such importance on getting out there right away for accuracy
  15. Really for the February 25/26 2010 only 8 inches. NYC had 21, I thought you're west of NYC? I know the gradients were crazy for that storm. In Highland Mills in Orange County I got 35 inches and 30 miles to my east at the same latitude in Danbury Connecticut, I think they ended up with 8-10 inch's, because it rained much of the time. That was just an odd storm all around, it rained in Vermont while they were getting heavy snow in Manhattan.
  16. The largest snow I've seen in Orange County was the February 2010 storm with 35 inches in a 24 hour period. I was picking up stuff at Walmart and Home Depot less than 24 hours after it ended. Using that as a worst case scenario, we really can't survive without food in our homes for 24 hours? It always baffles me when I see any kind of panic buying which you don't see nearly as much up here, but for the transplants you still do.
  17. 22 Degrees cloudy skies, the smell of snow in the air. Give me 5.6 inches of snow this storm to get my seasonal total to 30 inches and I'll be content, for now at least. Throw an inch of sleet on top to preserve the snow cover, even better. 33 Days of snow cover so far this winter, my minimum criteria is 45 days for an acceptable winter, so well on my way. As opposed to most that just like to chase the big snow, give me normal to below average winter cold and snow cover and several 4-8 inch events per season and I'm happy. The milder winters with one 20-30 inch blockbuster that melts in a week, you can keep.
  18. I cant stand the Mid Atlantic maps, what's happening in Delaware, Maryland and Cape May is of no interest. There's 2 other forums for those regions.
  19. I would say the best snow continues to be interior SENY, orange , Putnam and Dutchess as is more often the case. Coastal SNE more often than not does poorly on these, no better than the northshore of LI.
