My ride in was decent, there was snow on the road but two tire tracks down to pavement the whole way. That said, I just love people riding the brake going down hill, it's the telltale sign that they have no idea how to properly use their vehicle in the snow That heavier band of snow seems to be around Goshen right now.

Not sure about these days but years ago there were ways around that, my uncle oulled it off for years

Well being that I work in transit I'm rather familiar with the transit patterns and I honestly don't know how people do it on a regular basis from Orange to Manhattan but more and more people are doing it and some from further than Orange now.

Most of my family on Long Island are shocked that we get Saturday Night Live on Saturday night 'all the way up there'. I once met one of my cousins from Suffolk County at The Garden for a concert and it blew her mind that we both got on the train at around the same time in our respected areas and then got to the City at around the same time. I agree with the Rad Man that there are some very good posters in the NYC thread but there are also some real dolts and whiners too.

I've been watching you and HudsonValley21 post in the NYC threads and sometimes wonder why you guys bother to be perfectly honest. That's not a judgement on the two of you but by how you tend to get treated by some. I've said it before and I'll say it again now, I'm glad we broke out over here

I hear ya, anything over 3" is bonus to me. Even if it's more of an ice pack rather than snow I love a snowfall on top of snow already on the ground.

Yes, let's! It's a balmy 54 here now, glad this won't last too long!

Happy New Year one and all!

Nice. All of my family that was on the job have been retired know for a couple of years. I do know a guy at 55 truck though.

I dropped to 4 right after I posted my low earlier this morning, surprising to say the least. just as much as my low of 30 yesterday morning was.

Where do you work? As much as temps were warmer than forecasted yesterday morning they are colder than forecasted this morning, currently sitting at 5

Yes, I beleive that it was a City Buildings Dept SUV. A bummer with this storm, and it typically happens wafter the big coastals, we get mild air behind it which is cutting in on my snow pack

It appears to me that for starters anyway the guy behind the wheel of the front-end loader had no business being there.

Thanks, I throughly enjoyed this one, and in reference to the bolded, oh do tell.

I had a wind gust of 40mph at 5:08pm yesterday, the highest that I've ever recorded here. Considering the overall poor location of the anemometer that's saying a lot about how strong that gust must have been.

The wind really packs the snow in there making it more dense for sure. I just got back from a drive, still getting ground blizzard conditions along NYS 416, 208, and 207. The State guys will be plowing for quite a while still.

Im loving this storm so much more than the Snowicane, the drifting is insane around here. NYS 416 and 207 are down to close to one lane in the open spots with whiteout conditions. I've never seen anything like that around here, the last time I saw a ground blizzard was when my brother lived up in Cazenovia after a lake effect event. I have bare spots in my yard and 30" drifts in other spots. Impossible to get an accurate measuremnt of anything. I saw a report of 15" in Montgomery from 1am which seems reasonable, looke like 16-18" around here overall but we'll never know for sure.

Dish.

It was only a couple of the local NYC stations and only the HD signal for some reason. It's back now.

I'm getting into something heavier now, I'm starting to lose my Dish signal.

I havnt gone out, maybe 6-7" after taking a window looks measurement

Yeah, I can't believe NYC is getting rocked again. What happened to the storms when we get rocked and they get rain?

Glad to see you guys towards the east are getting rocked. Im just a bit too far west so far, shades if 2006 when I was just a tad too far north, we'll see if something can rotate through overnight.

Hey you! Welcome back

Agree 100% on both counts. Thanks to Wx4cast for his insight and less powder>more wet snow.
