  1. Flipped back to moderate snow here now which is accumulating again on all surfaces
  2. .5” as of 8am here near Campbell Hall, light snow continues.
  3. Yea, there are no food shortages but at least in the OC the trucks are about 36 hours behind. If people just calmed the hell down and stopped hoarding there would be zero issues with the shelves being empty. Hoping for a picturesque snowfall tomorrow morning, we shall see.
  4. Now that I raked half the yard I’m sure I’ll get enough snow on the trees to bring down plenty of twigs.
  5. I’d be shocked if there was leaf out along 17 even with the mild weather but it’s coming. There are buds around here and some bushes have some small leaves starting to emerge. I did have crocus bloom this week.
  6. We should still approach the afternoon with an abundance of caution...
  7. I don’t see any lightning strikes on Radar Scope
  8. Work is nuts with COVID-19 preparations but I digress, woke up before dawn to .1" so I'm on the board for March! Winning...
  9. Well its much better now than back in the days of steam locomotives and journal bearing trucks which is where the old "hot box" term comes from but diesels and roller bearings can still cause problems when they malfunction and/or break. I know that when the rail grinder train comes through it has a water tank car with it and they spray water down as it passes to prevent brush fires. That said, I have no idea what work train was operating there on Monday, not that it matters at this point sadly.
  10. Looks like the MTA now admits that a work train locomotive was indeed the culprit, reminds me of 5 years ago already: https://www.recordonline.com/article/20150427/NEWS/150429413
  11. I wondered that too but also read a social media post that it started with a downed power line but my first thought was also a railroad issue as a downed power line doesn't jive with all of those individual areas of smoke .
  12. One of the many shots from the Town of Fishkill PD Facebook page.
  13. Brush fire season is certainly here now, multiple fires yesterday and again today, looks like a big one along the Hudson Line south of Beacon currently.
  14. First heard them up here earlier this week.
  15. And I hear peepers down along the river...
  16. I had a few sleet showers a couple of hours ago
  17. With 2.2” for Feb that makes 20.9” on the season here
  18. Well if you want to be all serious, you are pretty darn close, today is equal to 10/13 but I still argue its spot on for 2/28
  19. The last season that my low for the winter was above 5 was '07-'08 when the winter low was 7 on 1/3/08. My low for this winter is also 7 on 12/8/19.
