My first flakes and first measurable last year was on 11/21 with .3 on the board. My largest snowfall last season was 1/7 with 13.9"
-
My tipper says 2.15" but I'll verify with the Stratus tomorrow. Light snow ongoing.
-
Violently agree that its not from downtown Port. This isn't the first time I've noticed it and I wonder if the person who took the measurement also reports to mPING on the regular, causes its near Port but not in city limits.
-
I was up to 1.7" on the board when I left home and hour ago, so it was an inch an hour type stuff. Still ripping pretty good. I followed an SUV with its hazards on riding the brake doing 15-20mph in a 55...nothing screams I don't know how to drive in the snow and/or I need new tires. Granted there was no way anyone should've been going even 45mph but the 15-20mph was ridiculous.

I feel your pain, my Dish went out, I had to switch to streaming until I brushed the dish off. Ok, that’s not exactly the same. Moderate snow here, a beautiful morning out there.
-
.7 on the board here at 385' with all snow falling at the moment.
-
Agreed. One thing though, Port Jervis/Matamoras itself is below 500' but you don't have to go far, in nearly any direction, to gain elevation quickly.
-
.60 and slowly counting.
-
The clown maps even show snow for us flatlanders.
-
That said, average first flakes for me is 11/6 with average first measurable snow of 11/8, so we are overdue up here.
-
Since we are burning I'd say all of us up here will take whatever we can get, rain/snow.

Just saw that fire. Who would've thought after last year we'd all be hoping for rain.
-
No houses lost last night, great job.
-
I was surprised as well. There are definitely issues with fires in the ground as it's been so dry. The photos I've seen this evening on social media, which can be tricky because of exposure time, show lots of fire moving north, south, and west, which is also crazy to me. I'm guessing the air tankers were just rumors this week because I've seen nothing about them in operation.
-
Not a good evening in Greenwood Lake as the fire jumped the line. There are evacuations and an urgent request went out for any local fuel company that can refuel an engine that's on the fire line protecting homes.
-
Agreed, don't really see the need to literally jump in this case.
-
Everything I’ve read and seen on smoke jumpers confirms your thoughts, they’re the best around. I remember a book in my grade school library ‘Smoke Jumpers’ that I would check out on a regular basis. I can only imagine being out there for water drops, I bet it made the ground shake! I’ll be interested to see photos/videos of the fire retardant drops this weekend.
-
@BxEngineI read yesterday that there are smoke jumpers from Colorado and Montana heading to the Jennings Creek/Greenwood Lake fire. That's impressive IMO but maybe has happened in the past more often than I realize? Any ideas? I thought the same thing about the air tankers heading in to drop retardants, clearly an all out blitz this weekend to put this thing down.

Sure is with 9% terrain open.

21 for the low here, 19 at KMGJ
-
Only got to 21 here, so no first teens of the season. KMGJ up the road got down to 19.

I'm always amazed at how the spiders love my weather station, and work really fast! I had .31 in the Stratus too the other day. There's always the debate on how accurate the tippers are but I think I've found a case where the Stratus can be off. I've notice in heavy downpours, which were a thing until recently, if I have the internal measuring tube with funnel inside the "bucket" it can under report. When I've taken the inner tube out ahead of heavy downpours and then measured after the fact both the Davis tipper and the Stratus were much closer in rainfall totals. I think the funnel can cause some of the heavy drops to splash out. That's my news.
-
Looks like 23 with do it for the low here this morning. First teens of the season forecast tonight, we shall see.
-
I looked at a couple Davis weather stations at Greenwood Lake. Both reported 0.00…it’s the season for clogged tippers. I have a debris screen in mine but it can still get fouled up, I cleaned mine out yesterday morning. The Meso location in Warwick reported .20.
