.74" total, 3.54" for the month, about .50" below normal for April here. The hard freeze last week did a number on the apples around the New Paltz area. They're talking like 70% lost blossoms. 

.70", 3.50" for the month.

.KEY MESSAGE 2...
An upper level low shifts east and will linger over eastern
Canada, with broad troughing over the eastern US through the
weekend. This pattern will lead to cool conditions, with a
stretch of highs and lows 5 to 10 degrees below normal. Stuck
with NBM temperatures for now, but trends will be monitored as
there will be a few nights across the interior where frost may
be possible.

The offshore low that was mentioned in the previous forecast has
shifted farther in the latest guidance, far enough to lower the
potential for impacts to the area.

I'm putting out a call for anyone who has final snowfall totals for the season for their town. There wasn't much after the last update on March 2nd but interior areas may have added a bit to this. 

Let me know via PM or tag me, thanks!

Winter 25-26 snowfall maps

My season total is a touch higher, 46.3"

Where'd the big rainy pattern go-Upton has showers Wed night/Thurs AM and then nothing through the weekend

From Uptons discussion:

.KEY MESSAGE 3...
The next chance for unsettled weather could come this weekend with a
passing offshore low. The GFS and ICON are more aggressive showing
phasing of the northern and southern stream with a surface low
deepening off the Mid-Atlantic coast. This would bring better
chances for seeing wet weather and windy conditions. Both the ECMWF
and GDPS are either offshore or weaker with this system, so there is
plenty of uncertainty. Stuck with NBM slight chance PoPs for now,
since even the more aggressive scenarios bring the low a little too
far offshore.

Sliced and diced from your post.  (And I appreciate the info on climate and forecasting.)

A friend was a train fan - I think there's a mag by that name - and he had multiple albums filled with various engines doing various things.  Once he was a bit to close after a big snowfall and got slouced as the plow-fronted engine roared by.
When I was 5, I was headed toward train-fandom.  I knew more about trains back then than now, 75 years later.

Temp over 70 after a low of 30; another '40' diurnal.  Cut/split some firewood and worked up a good sweat.

Trains magazine is indeed still around. 

My ornamental grasses starting growing in the heat of two weeks ago only to be shocked by the hard freeze last week. As a result it all looks like shit currently. The lawn is coming along decently though. 

1.20” final, close to 2” in the last week. 

Up to 1.10"

Was following along on some live feeds overnight with some of the orchards usings helicopters and burn barrels. What year was it recently where everyone lost a bunch of apples? 2016 maybe?

Not sure of the year but remember it. Looking at my records, my last freeze in 2016 was on 4/21. In 2020 the last freeze was 5/14 and it was on 5/15 in 2023, maybe one of those years?

Low of 24, was below freezing from 10:45pm to 8:10am, a solid hard freeze, pun intended.

Had some flakes in the past 30 minutes. 

33 now after a low of 30, some flurries on radar around the area but I haven’t seen any or any reports of flakes at ground level. 

.64" looks like will be my total, blue skies to my west moving in as the sun starts to shine through, 41 degrees.

Looks like some frozen precip is working into the west side of the Catskills. I don't want to turn the heat back on...

I’m pretty sure my downstairs zone will be on at least one morning in the next couple of days. 50 out there now with .18” thru the tipper so far. 

Sunny and 72 up here along the Canadian border. What a day. 

What a day, should've bet the over on the forecast high of 70, up to 74 and barely a cloud in the sky.

would you happen to have a report there for March 13-15, 2023 long duration elevation snowstorm? @snywx as well

That appears to be his total up top which I pulled from the 2023 burbs thread.

3.1" for me, my notes say "heavy snow during the morning and early afternoon but temp of 33, melts mostly on contact"

85/61 at 7pm on 4/16 is just plain stupidity as Forky fully embraces and dances naked.
