5-6" in Eastern Orange County in the Hudson Highlands still on 3k.

. 5+ all as snow in Orange Cty is not minimal QPF

You said it was boring there. The Northern end of Lake George gets around 100" a year. My beef is it being boring there. There is a ton of stuff in a short drive from there including civilization with lots of shopping and good restaurants

Lake George with all its surroundings, water sports, skiing, hiking, snowmobile trails for hundreds of miles into the Adirondacks along with lots of restaurants, indoor Waterpark and amusement park is boring? Then you put down Caribou and Oswego as your places? You are an EDP. I lived in Queensbury (Lake George) for 6 years and grew up in Brooklyn and Staten Island... The city was a much more boring place to grow up on a day to day basis then what my kids had to do up in Lake George

Yes. A lot of cloudy nights.

Not saying we will wind up below normal. Again, it's about people bitching "I don't want to put up with another below average season" while looking at recent years where NYC has had mostly above average snow totals (including 1 year of nearly 3 times historical norms) and bitch like we are being cheated if we have a couple of skunk years. It makes zero sense... Almost st as bad as Coastal posters complaining that they didn't get accumulating snow in October when their normal high temp was 57 or so. Childish brooding is all it is

When you came out of a decade where almost all the years were above average to much above average snowfall, what exactly do you expect to happen to reestablish the average?

Yes. Many don't understand its better to have a milder, stormy pattern in January. Yeah you will get skunked especially along the coast but you have a chance for a well timed blockbuster storm that would've been surpressed or never happened at all if the East was overwhelmed with cold dry air at the coldest time of the year

Especially in January.

Yes but there were many skunk years also

He obviously didn't live through the 70s and 80s when this was normal storm wise here

Back in the 90s as head of my Precincts Community Policing unit, I'd leave my desk and go walk up the Brooklyn Bridge walkway and sit on a bench in the middle of the East River to watch both snowstorms and thunderstorms come into the city. I'd sit in the snow until my toes got numb then walk back to work. It's the only job where just being there in a uniform I'd doing your job.
