Backyard still 100% covered but front yard torched out with the sun this week. It's been cold at night but not really. 20" for the year which is 3" behind last year's total and about the same as the total the year before if I remember right. A far cry from the previous 48+"/yr average. I think for a while up to the early 2000s my total was in the low 40s but it bumped up nicely. Now... 

I have the opposite, the back yard has bare spots, front yard still covered, as of this morning anyway. Here's a snapshot of my stats, you can see what I meant by three out of the last four seasons

Good morning everyone. I find the NW & NE enjoyable and miss it when it goes quiet. Stay well, as always ….

Good morning Rich, I hope all is well my friend. Not much to report here, down to 4" at the snow stake but plenty of bare spots now. Low was only 23 this morning, up to 40 now. The previous two mornings lows were 13 and 12 with highs in the upper 30s. As for seasonal snowfall I'm at exactly 29.5", which is just slightly below normal now. When compared to the NWS seasonal average I am only .5" below normal as of today, when compared to my running totals, which go back to 2005, I am now 2.5" below normal. Three of the last four years have really done a number on my seasonal snowfall average, and it doesn't look like this year is going to help it any unless we get something big in mid-March. Not holding my breath though.

3.0" snow here melted down to 0.24".  Ratio 12.5 : 1

1.17" liquid fell as snow here this week (9.4" total).

Season total 14.6"

A good solid early 1950's winter, except much warmer.

2.3" here with 15:1 ratios

IF someone like myself has been too lazy to keep track of it = Is there a site that monitors or keeps up to date snow totals for Rockland County ?

I don’t believe there are any but @BxEngine would know for sure. Even if there is one who knows how it compares to where you are. KMGJ is two or so miles away as the crow flies and the differences between there and here are interesting, no snow measurements there though, just looking at temps and rainfall. Legoland is seven miles away and the differences can be eye opening.

2.3” here with light snow still but the sun is also out, don’t expect any more accumulation.  31.8” on the season. 

Melted down to nice 15:1 ratio.

Back from GA with a combination of pollen and now brine pretreatment all over my car, that’s a first for me. I have to agree with the post earlier, personally I think a fresh snowfall on top of snowpack is just about as good as it gets.

@bluewaveI appreciate you keeping it real despite folks who can't handle it. 

Heavy pollen down here in GA 61/46

Son sent a photo of 12" over in Milford, waiting on a measurement from my brother at home. 

75/65 here...in GA. Last winter season when I was in South Bend, I got to witness 16-18" of pure fluff over threes days, 11" of it dumping one overnight. Now I'm missing out on this storm at home so Mother Nature is making things even Steven for me LOL

Where in Georgia? My parents, one sibling and oldest son are in Alpharetta, Canton and Jasper all north of Atlanta. Beautiful area. 

Richmond Hill, right off of 95 near Savannah.

For those of you that can just refresh this thread all day long and see every post instantly, congrats, I guess. The mods often don’t have time to just sit here and babysit, keep that in mind. Cut out the personal attacks and don’t forget there’s a banter thread. 

Patches of green grass and daffodils starting to pop...climo for the second week of Feb...

The pac is going to improve after next weeks storm with storm threats. 

We are still watching next week's storm and Presidents day.

Why confused and then appear a bit defensive. He merely shared maps that clearly show it got milder as it got closer. Could it change? Sure. That change could go either way.

So the theory is if one multi-posts in the middle of the night when no one is around then no one sees it? That's been debunked.

In cases like this (and for most of the events so far this season for that matter) they should be.  Far better in marginal situations than 10:1 maps / Kuchera.  It situations like this those 10:1 maps are pure folly and you are only setting yourself up for disappointment.  To each his own I guess.

Agreed, I look at them on a regular basis.

I'm sure we'll get bombed, I'll be in Georgia cleaning out my in-laws house.

Yea, my bad, I'm just looking at if this continues because of the -PDO we've had the last few years, so it's now two years in a row.

The snow drought is still there though, so I can see how the drought can come back quicker than it normally would, because they don't have that much "water in the bank"-- snowpack in the Sierra is only 65% of normal (this is before the update with the latest storm.)

 

And Lake Mead is improving but has a ways to go still.  Summer of 1983, and 1999 apparently, were the last times it was full.https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/150111/lake-mead-keeps-dropping  To be fair, Lake Mead is also impacted by the tremendous growth out there.

Well, now they're saying there's no more drought in California

and this is even before the current deluge.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-11-07/california-is-drought-free

 

There’s no drought anywhere in California: How long that’s expected to last, and why

You mentioned "the west" and "at least another decade"...

8 hours ago, LibertyBell said:

There's no need to hear or see any drought talk coming out of the west for at least another decade.  For several years all everyone talked about out there was how all the lakes were drying up and they would be out of water..... well they got what they wished for.

 

Wrong.
