Damned ice dams I think I broke my nose this afternoon. I was on the ladder whacking away at the ice at the edge of the roof and a chunk, had to be 20+ pounds, broke loose. It hit me in the face because I was watching what I was doing, as any sane person would when whacking their house with a 3 pound mallet. F'n thing hurts...

Wow that stinks and as HV21 said, sounds like you were lucky to not be more serially hurt. You have to be careful too because you cold wind up doing more damage to the roof trying to remove the ice then if you just left it there.

.6 this morning

8.6 on the old Davis but 7.5 on my much cheaper thermometer, can I submit that instead?

We have clear skies and no wind. Should get real low tonight. .

Yeppers, I'm sitting at 14.2 right now

My low this morning was 11. You guys cooled down nicely,

Wow, I wonder why you didn't drop further? Clouds move in sooner, winds kept up? I'm sure that you sat up all night constantly monitoring your backyard conditions

Looks like I hit -5 last night!! Currently sitting at 2.7. Wow!

Edit - MBY had only -0.3, the -5 reading is from KPOU which is about 3 miles north of me...

Still, very impressive radiational cooling.

We had some clouds move in right around the time of my low based on the obs from SWF which is a reason I would think that it didn't go lower. I don't always trust the KMGJ obs as they showed clear all morning but I can see the overcast.

Coldest of the season so far ,currently at 1.8

Same here with a low of 0(.4), currently sitting at 3 (3.2)

15.8

Any reports from the Berkshires? I used to live in Williamstown and am thinking that corridor may have taken the grand prize for the storm.

Yeah, that mega band over western dutchess helped me out, but I didn't get the cigar!! Danbury and surrounding area cashed in AGAIN! They are making up for the screw zone they were in las winter for sure.

My aunt lives in Wolcott, CT and she made out rather well too. Ilove how it's going to stay cold now so we won't get much of any melting. Then we'll see if we can sqeeze anything out of the clipper and then next week. This is the kind of winter I like, as do many of you I presume.

Somewhere under this are my kids cars. That was taken around 7:15 this morning. Still coming down pretty good. We are under a state of emergency here-saw my first plow about 5 mins ago and I've been up since 6. Still coming down-not really heavy-but it's steady. I figure we've got close to 10 inches out there.

A State of Emergency for 10"? Wow. Thanks for the photos.

Closing in on 12 inches here based on my snow board measurement and multiple other measurements around the area.. This definitely over-performed.. Still snowing lightly.

About 14 inches on the ground now.

Good for you Radders!

6.8" here in Harriman.

6.0" here. Was hoping for a little more but I now have a snowpack of 12-14" from three different storms, so I like that alot Like I said before, I'd take 4 snowfalls like this over 24" at one shot any year. Hopefully this time next week we'll get another one like this was and last Friday.

Yes I was just going to post that I see reports of rain and sleet from the jersey shore. Very interesting for sure Rob.

22.1F here and falling

20.6 here and still falling

All of this talk about the low forming closer to the coast is very interesting, as are the reports of sleet and rain. It will be interesting to see if this continues.

Started snowing here

Here too!

Classic!

High ratios FTW!

Albany snow map shows me straddling the 11" contour in Dutchess. We will see. I think there could be some surprises (good and bad!) with this storm. Such an explosive set-up.

You being further east than I am will help you out.

Yeah, there is something brewing around 180 hours that points to a low pressure developing on an arctic front... Looks like it could be interesting for our area, especially to our north. Higher heights/thicknesses would take NYC out of the game verbatim right now, but obviously this is a ways out.

What is your prediction for tonight? I would be happy with anything in the 6-10 range.

I threw 8-12" out there a couple of days ago and haven't really strayed from it although I was thinking, this morning anyway, that western Orange may be around 6". I think that higher ratios will save us.

0.5 for the area... it backed off due to a weaker surface low..

I think at this juncture a 5-9 or 6-10 range is a sensible forecast.. I hope I bust low.

Hey Radders, I 'm getting from some other threads that theres another storm around this time next week, did you see anything with that, snow around here?

My Call for the HV and WNE

I'm just south of your map, near KMGJ but I think I get what you're thinking, thanks!

Hopefully it verifies. I just can't believe the way the storm pattern has been since last winter. At least we get in on the action more this season but it really is a pretty incredible stretch for the NYC area. I'll take another 6+" though to add to our snow pack.

Winter Storm Watches.....snow from the snow pack drifting across roads in spots.....crews out pushing snow banks and piles back to make room for the next snowfall.....there are worse ways to start off the work week for me.

0Z NAM Even cut in half it still a great storm but it will not play out as modeled ATM but nice trends none the less

My thoughts exactly. Which model will win the battle this time around?

Very nice... Thanks..

Agree, hopefully it will be like the powder we got on Friday, easy to clean up and beautiful to look at.

.75 - 1 from west to east... 1 inch line is probably just west of the hudson river... So we all get hit pretty good.

And there you are, thanks!
