When events can't even live up to the very low bar of less than an inch it speaks volumes.

My response to your map is in the same spirit as you drew the map. Just having fun.

If snow falls in the forest and there's no one there to measure it before it melts, did it really fall? The decision should have been an easy one. I hope you made the right one.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful area. I stayed in North Conway and finally made it to the Mt. Washington summit this summer, incredible place. Stop in the Mt. Washington museum in North Conway if you get a chance and haven't been, it's a weather enthusiasts paradise. They still have stuff running this time of year that takes you up to 4,000 feet on Mt. Washington? If so I'll have to add that to the bucket list. I also got to the summit of Whiteface mountain near Lake Placid last September, another worthwhile trip. Leaves were at their peak in the valley and past peak above 3,000 feet, and pretty much leafless over 4,000 feet. On a clear day you can see presidential range from the peak.

21.1° and flurrying, add 0.5 inches of snow last night which now brings the seasonal to an even 20 inches. 12 inches of snow on December 2-3 and 8 inches since then in 7 separate events. What started so promising has turned into a nightmare of a winter.

Pictures? I'm desperate.

Do what I do on days like this, don’t waste your time opening them.

Sunday looks fairly calm through the entire route atm.

Thanks for the explanation Rob, that makes sense. It's just another sign of the times and the horrible pattern that has controlled us for the past 7 weeks that this is my biggest concern.

I noticed this morning that our sub forum title is not in bold like all of the other sub forums. Is this a subliminal message that our area does not really belong in the NYC metro, as several members to the south have argued during the past month? 32.4° 0.0 inches of snow last night. The seasonal stays put at 19.5 inches.

Was there any snow remnants anywhere along the higher elevations of 81 in Virginia?

And December started off so well. It seems like a lifetime ago.

Next time you travel that part of 81, and probably better to do in the warmer months, do yourself a favor and take the Blue Ridge Parkway for the 130 or so mile stretch in Virginia that it runs parallel to 81. It takes longer but the views are incredible. Lots of nice spots to stop and hike or just take in the views.

As the coastal plain, city and Island people begin abandoning ship on this weekend which never looked good for them to begin with, I believe we still have a decent shot here at seeing something (by that I mean 4+) for this weekend. Sure I'd like to see a 980mb or below a little inside the benchmark, but it doesn't have to be that strong for us to get snow from this setup IMO. Glad to have a sub forum where I can say that without hearing about marginal temps, the stars and planets have to align perfectly for it to snow here, why aren't we like SNE their climo works for them, even if it does snow it will be white rain, it won't stick on the pavement, the sun angle is already coming into play, and it's gonna be spring in 4 weeks anyway.

Very passive aggressive to those in CNE and NNE. However I'm good with it. Extended out to the HV I'm guessing I'm in the 24-36 inch band. That might even be enough for me not to gripe about the 48-60 inch totals 50 miles to my east. Upon reflection probably not, I'd be annoyed.

Is it flu? If so the next question of course is did you get a flu shot this year?

The way some people act you'd never know we lived in an area that averages 50 or so inches of snow a season. We've had three feet of snow from a single storm and at worst case I was not able to go out for 24 hours. Is starvation even a possibility in 24 hours? This is assuming you had nothing to eat in the house until you went out for that milk, bread, and eggs you needed pre-storm.

And the consecutive days with snow cover officially ends today at 7. It's now 24 days for the season, which actually sounds like a lot considering what a horrible stretch the last 5 weeks has been. Here's to hoping next weekend begins a new streak.

I can't believe that, I ended up with 8, although I do vaguely remember the heavier precip all around you from that storm but never getting to you. One of the weirder radars I've ever seen if I'm thinking of the correct storm. March 2018 was 43.4 inches for me, the Highland Mills Monroe area seemed to jackpot every storm that month of course topped off with 5.8 on April 2nd. 50 inches in 30 days I shouldn't complain, but I would rather it had happened in December or January and not March.

Temperatures up to 25.7° and it looks like the accumulating snow is over. Final tally is 2.7 inches bringing the seasonal to 18.8 inches. Was expecting about 4-5 so a little disappointed, especially since temps stayed as cold as they did throughout.

42.3° and windy. What a boring, dreary, April in January this has been.

Agreed, I see that as max potential from this setup, I'm expecting more along the lines of 3-5 Don't know if you noticed but I made a comment on your post in the other thread that you Poughkeepsie people should stay where you belong and post in the upstate forum. Obviously it was a joke referencing the stuff from yesterday where someone kept posting to "Head in the Clouds" that he shouldn't post in the NYC sub forum. Anyway the moderators deleted it and I get it, they probably saw it as opening a can of worms again that they wanted closed.

Give me end result totals like the December 2-3 storm, 12 inches here, and I'd be happy. WTS I don't see that, at least for now. Initial thoughts are 6-8 around the HV, maybe a few 10 spots in the areas prone to jackpot, and I'll say this setup achieved its max.

Hang gliding?

0.8 inches 30.4 degrees, 15.6 now for the season Just the fact that I feel compelled to report this non event shows how dismal the current pattern is.
