Ripping snow here now, 22/19. My brother, who lives next door, is on a job down in Westchester and said most of his commute was sleet.

Average snowfall to date IMBY: 22.7" Actual snowfall to date IMBY: 23.3"

1.8” last night, 23.3” season total.

So glad the rain in Friday washed a good amount of salt off the road and car…. 1.8” last night…

36 and .11, yuck.

Its ripping pretty good here in central Orange County with this squall

Brush on krazy glue is the best for the tiny cuts on hands, been using it for many years. Helps with larger cuts too, a couple times I probably I could've used a stitcher two but nah, brush on krazy glue did the trick. Might finally get above freezing on Sunday here.

Geez, I hope everyone is well Walt. Someone mentioned in one of the other threads that there was no flu this year and I wondered where exactly they lived as it's rather rampant this year around here. Santa delivered the norovirus this year to most of my family, that wasn't fun but all are well now. Looks like Sunday l should get above freezing again.

I'm a full blooded American and proud of my heritage.

My mothers side of the family were mostly from Kerry and Clare while my fathers side were from Tipperary for the most part.

Gillette Fusion ProGlide for the win! ..on the sides where it's still needed...

Another 0 for the low here.

Low low the fields of Athenry...I doubt anyone is watching any free birds fly in those winds...

That map is way off in my neck of the woods. It has me on the line of 4-10 and 10-20...I had .4 on the board as a total. Just look at the satellite in comparison to this map. https://www.weather.gov/okx/Blizzard_Jan2016#:~:text=Central Park%2C NY received 27.5,since records began in 1869.

0 for the low around 3am, a balmy 6 out there now.

-11 at home, KMGJ just up the road got to -13.

-11 goes in the books as the low (-11.2)

That makes sense with these conditions.

-11 (-10.8) might do it for the low, will know within the next hour.

-10 currently

These stations typically are a contained unit with temp sensors and rain gauge all together. You don't want your rain gauge under a tree not to mention the unit runs on solar power for the most part.

I've had Davis stations for the past 25+ years. I got the Weather Monitor II back in the late 90's. It was a good station but then after a couple tune-ups over the years I got the Vantage Vue. That's a nice little station but on warm low humidity days, in spring especially, I found it ran warm when in the sun. I now have the Vantage Pro 2 with a daytime fan-aspirated radiation shield, which took care of those fluky warm temps in those conditions mentioned above. I found the tippers to be good on all the stations I've had but I did notice in a heavy downpour that the tipper would appear to run a bit high when compared to the Stratus. I always figured that it was the Davis that was off but then last year I decided to pull the funnel and inner tube out of the Stratus before heavy rains and found that when measured afterwards the two were off by maybe two hundredths, if that. I was surprised by this and surmised that the funnel for the inner tube must be causing some rain to splash out and thus not get measured. Something to keep in mind if you leave the funnel and inner tube in during the warm season and notice some differences. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNYMONTG31

As for the 15 minute measurements lets la la lock it up! As for your records, I like the snow depth column as I just make a note in my comments section. On my spreadsheet I have columns for the time that the high and low temps occurred.

Well we know that the measuring of snow is the least accurate of them all. I have no idea what the proper way is anymore, I guess we go back to the 6 hour increments. I'm a snow pack guy anyway so that's a bit more straight forward. For the 2/1-2/2/21 storm I did an experiment with two separate snow boards next to each other. Here are some of comments in my Weather Log for 2/2/21 " 15.5" at stake, 17.7" with 24 hour measuring, 19.5" total measuring every 6 hours" That was a wet snow with temps in the upper 20s to mid 30's.

-9 (-9.4) for the low, up to 7 now.
