Not a very representative map for Orange County. Most locations are 38-45 inches right now.

3.7° right now with a 20 inch or so snow pack. One of those times where I won't mind getting a storm this weekend but I'm not gonna live and die with it either. I'm pretty content right now with the way things are and look. The one thing lacking so far this winter has been extreme cold. I've been below zero only once -1°, Daytimes have been cold but for whatever reason we haven't had one of those nights of clear, calm, and widespread radiational cooling to negative double digits. I'm nitpicking I know.

April

It brings up an interesting question what is your limit as a snow weenie from one storm? I have a wind limit of about 25. Never been found of high winds, they're conducive to losing power and nothing worse than watching a snow storm in a cold dark house. I'd put my accumulation limit at 50 inches. The February 2010 blizzard which hit the west side of the Hudson particularly hard with a heavy wet snow was when I realized I had a limit. We had 35 inches from that storm in Highland Mills, with several inches on the ground before it began. Towards the end of the storm I started to find myself getting concerned whether my roof and decks would handle the weight. Other than that let it snow.

Better yet, how do we calculate who won? Is this like the price is right and any guesses that went over are disqualified? Or are we just taking the total deviation from predicted amounts from the actual and adding up the total for all six cities for each participant? I'm not sure who's doing that.

Well just because Central Park can't, there's a much bigger forum area out there that can.

We have enough snow on the ground right now that I can live with a miss. But if I don't have to, I'd rather not.

As of Midnight last night. NYC - Central Park 11.4 inches - Seems about right for a change. Newark Airport 11.5 inches LGA 9.7 inches - Seems supect. Low compared to all surrounding reports Islip 12.9 inches Bridgeport 15.1 inches JFK 10.3 inches

16.3 inches final and 42.6 year to date. I never went above 9° while it was snowing. It stayed between 5°-7° through most of the event.

Highland Mills Orange County NY, 50 miles North of Central Park 16.3 inches final total, 42.6 inches now for the season. Most notably it never went above 9° through the event, yet snow ratios were not exceptional. There was never a change to sleet here but temperatures were warm enough in the mid levels to mute snow growth and not get the 15:1 to 20:1 ratios some might expect at these temperatures. The closest station to me showed 1.31 inches of liquid for the event which would be a little over a 12:1 ratio. Not terrible but not what you would expect from an entire day of snowfall at single digit readings.

Thou dost protest too much. How long have you and the NAM been seeing each other?

Last measurement for the night 15.8 inches. 42.1 inches now for the season, by morning I may have reached the seasonal normal.

Last measurement for the night 15.8 inches. 42.1 inches now for the season, by morning I may have reached the seasonal normal. Got the driveway all cleared, mailbox has pretty much disappeared, as has the fire hydrant at the end of my property. I will deal with those in the morning. Never got above 9° today. Other than the Blizzard of 96 I can't think of another storm with this much snow at single digit temperatures. It's restored my faith in Winter.

And what woman wouldn't be LOL.

Thank you, it's good to be recognized that we do exist lol.

I'm in Orange County and it never went above 8° here today where I am in Highland Mills been snowing heavy the entire freaking day. Other than the blizzard of 96 this is the only other time I can think of that happening.

Yes, and the Hudson Valley does not exist, which got more snow than any of the areas just mentioned.

Rich, tell her CP says HI!!!

13.1 inches as of 5:30, dare we shoot for 20 today? No clearing yet here either. That's all new depth from today. 39.4 inches ytd, 6° with heavy snow.

13.1 inches, 7° with heavy snow continuing. Today is day 41 this winter with snow cover.

Praying you get projectile vomiting of snow soon.

Blizzard like right now without the high winds, which I'm not a fan of anyway.

Central Park 7.2 inches as of 1:00 pm, sounds reasonable. Where they will drop the ball is not measuring between now and 7 PM when the change to sleet occurs. We shall see, maybe they surprise us today.

9.2 inches as of 1:30 so 2.7 inches in the last hour and half. Best rates of the day right now. 5.4° with heavy snow.

6.5 inches as of noon. 6° and snow continues. Still waiting for those 2 to 3 in./h bands. Hope they show up this afternoon.
