I hadn't seen your follow up post when you mentioned those states outside the northeast. Tis odd to call the scale what they did then.

The only thing that jumps out at me is that the earlier storm covered more area.

You are correct, a nice deep snowpack completely wiped out all over the northeast on 1/19-1/20/96. https://pubs.usgs.gov/publication/wri974252

Yeah, society has become increasingly lazy. Plus, putting on a jacket, perhaps a hat and gloves too, can be taxing to those not accustomed to physical activity...

Light snow in Goshen, NY

He's an interesting character, we enjoy our time together. He's never used a computer, any type of cell phone, never been on the internet, never used an ATM, doesn't use the microwave.

They are and there is no logical reason to dissect a 200+ hour ops map.

.3 of leaf blower clean up snow here this morning.

The posts about how much oil has been consumed in the past month reminds me of another story about my father-in-law, the guy who thought my snowboard was a great place to dump scrap food for all the animals outside but I digress. He tells me once “I went from Williamsport to here on a quarter tank of gas. Isn’t that good?!” “I don’t know, maybe. How big is your tank and how many miles was it?” I replied. Looking at me kinda complexed he says, “I’m not sure of the gas tank size but it was a quarter of a tank! That’s good!” After a bit of a blank stare from me all I could muster out then was “OK, that’s great. What do you want to watch on tv?"

.3 of fluff total here, another leaf blower clean up.

Down to 7

Forecasted low is 16 here and I'm at 10 and continue dropping.

Don't underestimate the drifts that .5 on top of a glacier can cause in this wind, so good ones out here along 416.

.5 here under bright sunny skies now, 20/7.

I have no idea, I do know .5 here.

Happy New Year to all of us that live out yonder! Have had flurries and light snow all evening, not much new on the ground but that line to the NW looks interesting.

December IMBY: Melted: 3.24" Snowfall: 17.0" Precipitation Total for 2025: 42.38 4" at the stake this morning.

His camera is running as well.

Need some fresh snow to cover up all the tree debris all over the snowpack.

4" at the stake, had a coating this morning that blew all over due to the glacier out there, 28/13 currently.

Looks to be 3-4" and definitely 100% coverage out there. The minimum time of juicy dews today, the denser snowpack to begin with and the close to .1 of ice from the freezing rain on top were all factors here.

Whew, made it through with solid snow cover. The temp is 45 now but will be dropping very shortly, the dews thankfully started dropping over an hour ago, after a high of 41 the dew is now back down to 26. Only had two hours of dews upper 30s, which is when the pack really starts to go.

I spiked up here, up to 41 now.
