    This is insane. It's absolutely dumping the hugest flakes ever. There has to be someone else under this band. I can't be the only one appreciating this!

    I was under a great band this morning, quite possibly the best flakes all season.

    And so did Manhattan.
     

    36 inches measured in Brooklyn, 45 in New Haven, 48 inches in Albany, 58 in Saratoga Springs and Bridgeport 18 and Manhattan 21. It must be some kind of sacred pact between Bridgeport and NYC that goes back to the beginning of official records  to always under measure snow.

    I've studied many old photos from that storm and there is no way that was any less than three feet in Manhattan. One also has to remember there was no snow on the ground when that storm hit.

    And I don’t believe that they were clearing any boards every six hours.

    What's with the no totals for anywhere in Orange County?

    Some of these seem pretty far off, on the plus and minus side. @The 4 Seasonsmaps blow this away. 

    It's the CoCoRaHS map. That total almost due north of me in Ulster is damn close to my total. I've thought about it sometimes but clearly never joined, you ever think about it? I know you are really passionate about snowfall records. Are you from Manhattan orignally?  @The 4 Seasonsmaps are the best I've seen.

    Neck and neck between you and Central Park.

    Badhow just that north central portion of the county was scrooed so far. Even the northwest sections I believe are all in the 50's @snywx .

    Lets see what we can squeak out tomorrow. As long as it doesn't mess with my flight out of Newark tomorrow afternoon. 
     

    Looks like we @Juliancoltonpicked a good week to leave. No fears of much winter weather to be missed the 3-10 period. 
     

    Snywx is just under 52", a 6-7" difference in annual totals is common between his location and mine. My elevation is only around 400' and being in the Wallkill River valley has its own impacts. What will always sting me a bit about this winter is only getting 6.6" of snow in February.

    Hey everyone, i am putting out a call for season-to-date snowfall totals for anyone who has them, including anything that fell today, March 1st.

    You can DM me or tag me.

    I'll have that seasonal snowfall map out this week, thanks.

    .3 this morning, 45.4” for the season.

    24° and freezing fog. The winter that doesn't want to end. Unfortunately it may for awhile after next week.

    74 days of snow cover and counting. I know it's a resilient snow pack but I give it another week. Even given 2-3 more inches tonight and Tuesday.

    Once we hit March 1st I’m good, we can transition.  Late snowfall isn’t the same for me as in the heart of winter, it still can be beautiful but it doesn’t stick around long and we get more mud this time of year. Down to 5” at the stake, been losing about an inch a day the past few days.

    Thanks, I have looked at these before. Other than the main reporting stations I've always found them unreliable which you alluded to before. The West Point data, which would be closest to me, has so many missing months in various years it makes it worthless to to come up with a meaningful seasonal average. 

    Yeah, that data has more holes in it than @BxEngines socks but I digress. Here is a screenshot from one of my spreadsheets that shows my running averages at the top and what I did find for KMGJ listed in the box with the month, if interested. Some of the numbers will be slightly off because winter isn't over yet but you'll get the idea.

    Where do you get the Montgomery airport snowfalls totals from? I thought like Poughkeepsie, which stopped measuring a few decades ago for good reason, that Montgomery doesn't measure snow.

    Let me know if you have the link, thanks.

    @CPcantmeasuresnowI'm looking around a bit now, it might have been part of the NWS NOWdata under Montgomery but its not there now. I remember when I came across it I was surprised and again took it with a grain of salt. I must have found it a few years ago again because I just came across this little spreadsheet I did 10 years ago that shows the 30 year average (KMGJ)which was higher than it is now, 43.3" then and 42.2" now. The 10 year averages were my own measurments.

    I had to have got it from here:https://www.weather.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=okx but like I said earlier, its gone now. You can still see snow for Port Jervis and West Point though if interested.

    42.0 on  the nose

    Yikes, I'm barely above them. I was thinking on how I was just NW of that good band two days before Christmas when SNYWX cashed in, the end of January event I was in between bands, there was this line of 'only' 13-14" than ran up the middle of Orange County into Ulster and then this week I was NW of the good band of snow. Still a solid winter but I keep just missing the bigger snow totals.

    I have no reason to doubt the Providence numbers one way or the other, but I'd be very surprised if the max depth was even 6 inches within their 38 inch total. 

    I actually checked the data there. They had 5 inches depth before the storm started and 21 inch depth at midnight last night. Hmmmm, measuring every hour maybe on a clean board? Even Newark airport 27.2 inches snow, max depth 18 inches. This is why snowfall measurements are somewhat exasperating.

    FWIW, this mornings depths in that area

    KMGJ doesn't measure snow. I believe someone came up with an average based on old COOP data by the Crist brothers in Walden best I could tell. I'll have to think on how I came across anything to use for KMGJ, it might have actually been Accuweather. Whatever it was it appeared to update with the new 10 year averages a few years ago as I recall and is broken down by month. While I always took that number with a grain of salt I was impressed with how close it was/is to my running averages. If/when I figured it out again I'll reply here.
