Interior NW & NE Burbs 2019
CPcantmeasuresnow replied to gravitylover's topic in New York City Metro
12.0 inches on the ground and about half of that after sunset tonight. Looks like snow is Finally done here. When this first started I said I’d be satisfied with 6-8 and ecstatic with a foot. As late as late this afternoon I never thought I’d get anything close to a foot. Label me ecstatic. -

6.8 inches and moderate snow falling again. Very frustrating the way the whole thing went, but I have no complaints about the end result. -

1.5 inches of snow, sleet and freezing rain today. Temperature never got above 30.4 today, 27.8 now. Expecting disappointment tomorrow. -

I didn't hear about it until after the fact. And I was in Saratoga Saturday night too, and the skies were clear. Another opportunity missed. Was it visible? -

97-98 and 11-12 were true F- as was 01-02. This year is a D- for the reasons I stated. I was joking about the F- as compared to some predictions this year which were in hindsight ridiculous. A late season storm that would bring the seasonal near our average of 50 would get it to a D. Only 36 days of snow cover makes a passing grade impossible this year, even if we see an April 6, 1982 repeat this year followed by a May 9-10 1977 replay. So let it be written, so let it be done. -

I still have a few spots in the deep shade with snow that may last a couple of more days. I officially called an end to my snow cover on the 13th making March 1 through the 12th my longest stretch of continuous snow cover this season. 39.1 inches for the season now and 36 days of snow cover. The biggest snows of the season 10 inches on November 15-16 and 8.1 inches on March 3. Throw in the 1.8 inches on March 1 and the 3.5 on March 2nd and do the math, that's a really bad stretch from November 17th to February 28th. Despite this mornings low of 19.6° the rest of March looks tame and April will usually deliver at least one measurable event but who knows this year, so my early grade is a D-. When you throw in all the hype I saw in many places and from several pros about this epic winter coming it's an F-. -

10.2° single digits seem a safe bet, 0° will be tough. My next post is number 1,000, party at my house. -

Nice, I feel cheated. Looking at the driveway it doesn't look like a flake fell here overnight, but the landscape looks great, just like it did all of last March. -

Bottomed out at 7.3°, 11.3° right now. It will be interesting to see if we can make a run below zero one of these next several nights. A very January look and feel. I'm old enough to remember the May 9-10, 1977 storm which dropped several inches of snow in areas of the HV and 27inches in the Catskills. I bring it up because I enjoyed the snow in May, I love a good April snow storm and I love a solid snow cover through most of March. However if I had my choice this recent trend of dud Decembers and February like March I would reverse if I had the choice. I'd much rather have December the cold and snowy month for many reasons, Christmas season, the sun at it's weakest point, the coldest parts of winter coming up to sustain snow cover etc;. Since I can't do anything about that, I'll enjoy this. -

8.1 inches here, actually surprised we didn't make 10 after measuring 7.0 at 12:30 pm. I sense it's already compressing on it's own weight. Thinking the same as Gravity, was probably over 9 inches around 3-4 am when it stopped. Approaching 40 now for the season, beautiful out. 29.6° -

Well I could see why, we've only seen a foot or more of snow from a single storm about 20 times in the last ten years. -

With what you've been through this winter, you're entitled and an exception. I was talking about the true snow haters of which there's surprisingly more than a few on this forum. -

28.0° with moderate snow but intensity has let up some. 3.0 inches even so far from this event, 30 inches now for the season. I'm guessing this will suppress the I want 80's and warm weather for March talk for a couple of days at least. -

1.9 inches here, now 27.1 for the season. Very surprised this morning. I had almost given up. Now tonight WC app says 3-5, and Sunday night 5-8? I'm not buying those totals yet. -

19.2° Hoping for at least a couple of inches of snow today to keep the consecutive days streak of coverage going. It now stands at 8 but barely, about 75% coverage in my area. -

17.6° was the best I could do this morning, disappointing again. My 7 consecutive days of snow cover I will probably call an end to today. There are enough bare spots around that I can't in good conscience continue to call it a snow cover. This brings the days with snow cover to 23 this season and the total snowfall for the season to 24.1 inches. Combined with the above normal temperatures December thru February and so far this winter season is a solid D in my book. It will take a damn good March to get a passing grade this year. -

28.6° For only the 19th day this season the landscape is covered in white. As is the norm this winter season it doesn't look to last. -

I guess glittery and shiny poop and pee would look better than the normal kind I don’t know if I’d go as far as to say its kind of nice though. -

25.2° and freezing rain and sleet continues. The final tally for the day is 2.9 inches of snow and sleet, which brings the seasonal to 23.8. In another year and accumulated in a different way this could be an acceptable winter so far. The way we've gotten to 23.8 so far this year is a D- -

18.9° moderate snow continues. 1.5 inches so far. If we can get to 4 before the change to sleet I'll consider it a win. -

The best I could do was -3.5° this morning, yesterday -5.6°. I'm not coming anywhere near the double digit sub zeros I was expecting and that occurred in NWNJ, northern Orange and Dutchess. 20 miles north of me seems to make all the difference the last couple of days when it's usually not that pronounced. I'm sitting with only about a 2.5-3 inch snow cover here, would that make such a difference as opposed to the 6-10 inch depth in the areas getting to -10° and lower? -

0.7° About the same temperature right now as last night at this time. If the skies stay clear -10° may be in the cards tonight. -

Not for a second, maybe -12 or -13? I bottomed out at -5.6° this morning. Yesterdays squall was 0.6 inches bringing my seasonal to 20.9 inches. Another 30 or so this season to get to normal. I'm having serious doubts we even come close.
