    Today was about the best skiing at Belleayre I have ever had. Their snow depth is literally insane with also snowmaking whales 10+ feet high on many trails. The snow was also amazing. Even did some tree skiing in the glades. Go out and enjoy it!

    It is amazing. People who start talking about fall on August 2nd would be chewed up and spit out of here. Then again this winter has already been longer than the past several . It is absolutely wild how on February 2nd, people see a relaxation in the pattern and immediately it is time for spring.

    On the flip side the same can be said now with heat related health issues now. June and into July last summer were quite deadly. Point I’m trying to make is our winters have been growing shorter if you look at open and close dates for ski areas. The media tends to really go on and on about the cold but even when heat reaches oppressive levels they are much less in your face about it. My wife has also finally convinced me that I need to use moisturizer haha.

    It’s one reason why the internet is garbage for weather. It’s become like a damn spectator sport and hype machine. According to the weather media we should have all been dead from starvation if we didn’t stock up on groceries before the storm.

    I always say to enjoy the coldest temps of the year around here. Most years now they don't last long and then we will be roasting in humidity and heat for many months. The cold this year has been great. Skiing has been nice, and the sun makes it feel not so bad. It has been impressively sunny. Some love to complain about the weather no matter what it does. There is only bad gear and bad attitudes. Only weather that truly demoralizes me is constant mist/rain between 34-50 that we seem to get for weeks in April now.

    Naw the skiing has been absolutely incredible. Plus layers work well. Can’t exactly be naked when it is 105/83. A certain someone on this board might loc you up…

    Looking at the history that Don has posted, it seems like the odds are heavily against a massive storm within a week of another major storm. For that reason, I tend to think this one won't directly impact us. However, if we see it trending that way by tomorrow, then I think it could be game on. I just don't get the sense that it is going to happen. If it did, we would need some areas to start moving snow banks around like in other big seasons as there isn't much room for more snow. I would love to see it personally.

    Just measured a bit over 12 inches in Patterson, NY. Still dumping outside!

    Up here we never switched to sleet or freezing rain. We should be wrapped up by around 1am. Tomorrow the sun may even peak out by 10-12.

    That’s the thing I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many early closings and cancellations for Monday as with this storm. The media has basically made it sound like the apocalypse. I think by mid morning tomorrow we are looking pretty much back to normal. Could be wrong but it doesn’t look like it.

    I have never seen so many prolonged travel restrictions and bans before for a storm like this. Yes it is big, but no where near as severe as many in the past. Dutchess county until 5pm tomorrow? The big stuff will be over long before then!

    Measured over 10 inches in my yard in Patterson. Absolutely ripping out there. Think we make 16-24 easily.

    Some people really seem to be cheering for sleet. Why do some put so much faith in one model that is being retired and not receiving many updates?
  14. JustinRP37
    You mean for the past 5-7 years has. My son hasn’t seen a “big dumping” in his life. He is 7! Fingers crossed. I showed him pictures of our big blizzards and he got so excited.

    This weekend was absolutely amazing. Reminds me of winters of childhood. It was a long duration snowfall that dropped a good amount of snow. I feel like in the past decade when we get snow it is all much quicker and heavier. This was a nice steady snowfall. Looking ahead it looks great!
  16. JustinRP37
    This was an awesome weekend of snow. Picked up about 5 total here in Patterson. My son’s team was playing in a hockey tournament named the Blizzard Cup, so this was perfect!

    Got just shy of 5 inches in Patterson area. Impressive little burst this afternoon.

    I have a Smart Oil tank monitor on a 275 gallon tank. I’ve been burning about 4.5 gallons a day the past few weeks when we are home all day and heat to 70 during the day. 64 upstairs and 60 downstairs when we are sleeping and 62 when we are gone for more than a few hours. We also heat the partially finished basement when we are home and my son goes down to play. All in all, a little under 1750 sq feet heated. Been told the house is pretty well insulated but I do have to replace the seal on the front door.

    Another inch last night here. Was very surprised to see that much when I woke up. Leaf blower took care of it though.

    Can a certain someone at least admit they were dead wrong about December? Unbelievable how most of the area has had more snow cover days than the previous few winters, and we just finished December. We aren’t going to be mowing in February. Which reminds me, I have to drain the fuel out of my mower.

    Beautiful night last night at Catamount skiing with my son. Some ice, but overall wonderful conditions. The coldest I saw on the car thermometer was -2 coming home. Certainly cold out there. As for those saying if it doesn’t snow it should be warm, winter sports enthusiasts strongly disagree! Although talking with some people last night, the common theme was this start is too good and we are all waiting for the shoe to drop. But so far this has been a great winter.
  22. JustinRP37
    A nice touch up snow! For all the negativity, I have had snow cover in my yard for most of the month of December. That is a first since moving to Putnam County.

    We have a good pack that should be concrete by tomorrow morning. Did you all see the Top Golf fencing come down with the ice and wind in Auburn Hills, Michigan? Incredible videos online showing the weight of the ice and then the wind. Sad they will have to cancel their New Year's Eve party this year.

    Just got back from a visit to Ohio yesterday and was impressed with around 8 inches when I got home! Currently some freezing rain. Looking forward for the return to cold after tomorrow but pissed we have to have freezing rain and rain after that beautiful snow.

    I honestly am believing that 1 in 4 might be insane. Goes for some of my family members….
