This seasons snowfall IMBY now stands at 39.9", which is to date 4.8" above the long term average. I just need 3.4" more to meet the long term seasonal average, and 7.4" to meet the shorter seasonal average since I moved here in 2005.
Agree on the snow measurements and we all know that measurements get even more suspect in a snowfall like this in March. My 5.8” was on the board, with wildly various other measurements on the deck, cars, driveway, under a tree, etc.
Gardiner is a snow hole from what I know. I knew a guy who lived there a few years ago now who would constantly post pics of very little snow in his yard in comparison to others around the area.
It doesn’t matter what any of us root for, it’s gonna be what it's gonna be. I feel like we haven’t had a normal season in forever but it’s the extremes that help define the averages anyway. Last summer sucked with all the rain and humidity which in turn ruined the fall, it’s been a few years since what had decent color. Then the flip to the biggest storm of the season to date in the middle of November. The winter has been a nuisance more than anything. So yes, I would like a drier sunnier spring but no one cares what I would like. It’s St Patrick’s Season so we have that going for us, which is nice.
Not gonna happen, ‘everyone’ has canceled snow for the rest of the season. ‘We’ are all rooting for warmth and baseball...I didn’t know people still watched baseball...
Makes you wonder what people are thinking sometimes, doesn't it? A solid .3" ice on everything this morning. A coworker got her windshield cracked thanks to a piece of ice falling off of a tree along the road.
Got out of the Dropkick Murphys concert in Poughkeepsie last night and was surprised to see the amount of snow there was at point but still 2” or less. By the time we got south of Milton there wasn’t even that much and it was only a coating at home. The classic eyeball measurement this morning is an inch tops here but I will measure in a bit. Meh.
