I'd also like to see other than a 10:1 snow map. From 30 miles north of NYC I'm thinking ratios will be more like 12 to 14:1.

I'm not quite sure how you define historic but NYC, which is usually on the low end of the storm totals, has had 38 storms of 12 inches or more, 66 storm of 10 inches or more, including about a month ago, and 10 storms of a foot or more in the last 20 years. Historic might be a little strong, 20 inches or more in NYC, there's only been 7 of those so that might be a good classification of historic for NYC, but I doubt that happens for them this storm.

You're really going out on a limb with that one.

I have several friends that went to college there. A snow lovers paradise. Over 200 inches a year in their average seasons.

You sound so pessimistic. That’s so unlike you.

1.8 inches here in Highland Mills in eastern Orange County. Snowing again so maybe we eke out two inches from this 12 hour event. Not the most exciting storm but It’s been a boring five week stretch so I’ll take it.

That's a a pretty bold statement for a forum that encompasses an area this large. For anyone 25 miles or more north, or west of NYC I doubt that.

Well two things, the Catskills average a lot more snow per season than Boston, and of course these things work both ways, but everyone forgets about the time they cashed in, only about the time they missed. The extreme case in point of course is the February 25-26 2010 storm. In orange county where I am I received 35 inches, Hunter mountain in the Catskills got close to five feet, Boston a lot of rain.

You're talking about three distinctly different climates for the three cities. Washington DC averages 15 inches of snow a season, NYC averages double that or 30 inches a season, and Boston 60% more than NYC or 48 inches. Boston has a snowfall averages more in line with the HV.

Once you've gone that long they may as well break the record. I mean what's another 11 days when they've gone over a year without snow. I'd like to believe that run, but I don't, not for a second.

Since NYC will most likely be 0.8 inches of total snowfall for the last 30 years short of achieving a 30 inch average for 1991-2020, shows how those missed measurements come into play. Just take a couple of those over the last 30 years, and we all know there are many more than a couple, and instead of 29.9 inches which is what the new average will most likely be depending on how they round each month, and they would easily reach or surpass 30.0 inches.

1.6 inches. A real yawn fest here in Highland Mills in E Orange County. -
1.6 inches. 2.5 was my minimum criteria to be satisfied with this disturbance. Expectations were low so disappointment level is low. Still numb from the Christmas Eve nightmare, so nothing can really hurt me now.

Where is Tivoli in relation to Millerton? I used to have a client up there that I used to visit once a month. I found it interesting I was 2 miles from the Massachusetts border and still in Dutchess County. I’ll never forget the October 3 snow there in the late 80s, I believe it was 1987. They received over a foot, in Northern Dutchess. I remember the tops of the trees on the Taconic Parkway were damaged from that event for years.

It’s pretty difficult to get much worse weather than this on a Christmas Eve night in the HV. Had about 5-6 inches of snowcover today. I haven’t looked out but I’m sure it’s approaching 0 and positive it will be by morning. Thank you 2020, May I have another.

It's to be expected this year. I should have known when this Grinch of a storm showed up on all the models five minutes after last weeks snowfall ended. Of course it hasn't wavered since, if anything It just keeps getting windier, warmer and rainier. Well at least we got a white week before Christmas and Christmas Eve out of it.
