I know I've said it before but I'll say it again, really good work on these, much appreciated.

Thanks, that is interesting.  For that 20 year period, our average last freeze is April 11.  Assuming a similar comparison in the fall, that's at least an extra month of growing season here.  Not trivial, especially in the fall, but I'll work those numbers another time.  I think the difference in the fall will be even more...it's hard to get to freezing when the LI Sound is still near 60°.  Our first fall freeze is sometimes a couple of weeks later than the center of the island, but I don't think there is much difference in the spring.

For fall numbers I have the following firsts:

NWS defined frost (36-32)

Visible Frost (not exactly a scientific category)

Freeze (32 and below)

Hard Freeze (28 and below)

Average last freeze in Smithtown for the past 30 years is April 12.  It really hasn't changed much over that time, despite 1996 being an outlier.

.79” and 35 gray cold degrees.

Jesus 0.4 from Campbell Hall to 11.2 in Highland Mills

Yeah, crazy! I don't think there were many northern Orange County official reports out of frustration with that storm LOL. Albany's map for that storm comes close to showing how the cutoff went. You can see in this satellite shot from their page that I'm was in the black hole.

I updated one of our favorite storms of this sub-forum, and one of mine as well. Got into the meat of it in the CT band that rotated and pivoted overhead with a final of 14.4". Only 24hrs before hand we holding out hopes that the NAM & RPM were right. But last minute positive trends turned this into a major storm for 95 and a historic storm for the NY/NJ metro area.

I know that showing the sharp cutoff can be tough if you don't have enough reports but I only had .4 on the board for that one. Not 4" but .4, a terrible bust for my neck of the woods due to one of the sharpest cutoffs I've recorded.

They got absolutely blasted and the official ob from 2 days ago had 51” on the ground. I believe it. 

Marquette had a very solid 18" pack a week ago before getting that dump, there are massive piles there for sure. Cool videos too of highway crews working on opening up the country roads.

Nice. I still have a couple plowed dirty piles along my driveway, exciting stuff. A solid winter but Feb and March were disappointing here for snowfall after a nice December and January.  

Just a reminder for people who want to shorten it today and don't have a clue. That said, according to @BxEngine the Irish invented the greatest goodbye and that's all that really matters anyway. 

Yeah, that was something last night when that woke me up and literally blasted through here. My bedroom drapes were moving back and forth like I had the window cracked open, which I didn't. Didn't lose power and no damage here from what I see so far but I know other parts of Orange County weren't as lucky with trees coming down on buildings and cars. 

Went over Greenville Mountain on 84 today and saw a few very small patches of snow in the woods.

I came home after a trip earlier this week to find 3 feet of meltwater in my basement after a sump pump failure. Should be under control now but the pump will certainly keep working with another inch of rain incoming

That sucks but glad it's under control.

This wasn't a bad forecast from Upton

It was IMBY but that is typical with storms like that, the cutoff will getcha wherever it sets up.

This map is the best one yet for this storm. Your attention to detail is exceptional.

It sure is, I was just looking at stuff from the 80's and 90's, all very well done for my neck of the woods.

Good morning Rob, Gravity. My delusional old man snow stick ( with my daughter’s pug Frank in the background ) looks forlornly at, perhaps, the last flakes of the cold season. Maybe next year, my friend, ……… if we both make it. Stay well, as always ….

My father-in-law is with us this week, he turned 84 in Feburary. You'll make it.

I got .2 on some surfaces.

Garbage can tops? Zilch here, not even a trace on the board. 

Back to just spitting flakes again.

Yeah, same out here now with light snow. It had been spitting flakes most of the day and the very light stuff earlier didn't last much longer after my post about it. 

Some very light snow falling in central Orange County now.

Just now, SACRUS said:

56 / 51 cloudy showers with temps dropping to around 30 as we come down the coaster.  What many forecasts had as a dry week will yield another inch or > for many areas as suspected.  0.30 in the bucket last night and overnight.  Perhaps some snow mixed in today towards the end after showers/rain thunderstorms. Near normal the next few days and through this weekend.  A warmer monday is brief with the next round of rain / storms moving through.  Much chillier Tue/Wed perhaps highs around 40 and lows back into the 20s.  Moderation beyond there towards the 21st  with a back and forth overall warmer side of normal.

 

I'm down close to 20 degrees over the past two hours.

Nobody said accumulating snow, just some flakes in the air. 

Certainly seperate thread worthy...

.95” with more showers moving in, temp and dews started dropping here a little over an hour ago, each down at least 10 degrees in the past hour, 52/47
