MGJ is at 364' and was 19 while SWF, 7 miles away as the crow flies at an elevation of 492' was 25. I realize this isn't exactly what you said above but I always find these nuances and microclimates interesting. I've seen much more noticeable differences between Montgomery and Stewart during inversions in the past.

MGJ 19 between hours

21 for the low, up to 22 now

And Bonnie Tyler is stuck in my head...

I raked a bit yesterday but the soil is still pretty damp

I'm gonna call it, after lots of tracking, this thread is officially dead now.

I've applied as late as the first week in May but typically shoot for mid April.

That’s a general rule of thumb. You want consistent soil temps in the 50s which seems to come earlier and earlier each year. That said, under best case scenarios the preventer MAY last four months so if it goes down too early you can still get some late season crabgrass. There are various types of crabgrass that germinate at different times of the season.

Yeah, too early in the season for that unless you apply it again mid summer.

After a low of 25, made to 64 for a high, 63 currently.

Oh someone's got jokes! Someone has...jokes! Time for me to make this my personal blog

And…I hear some peepers down but the river. Not all of them but some for sure.

That's a larger area than I expected.

Instead of heated driveways perhaps chilled yards will become a new thing? An unimpressive 27 IMBY

Just to be clear, we are talking about measuring snow, not whatever else you measure to that increment but I digress. We all know that snowfall measurements are by far the most inaccurate of all weather measurements. Sometimes it's innocent enough, sometimes its done because folks need to stoke their ego for some odd reason, and sometimes is because there are old and new guidelines out there as CP mentioned above. My highest total on the snowboard was 3.1" yesterday but OTG I had 4.3" (gotta keep the grass longer next fall).

And I should have been more clear, the half inch is used for rounding purposes only, depth is recorded to the inch.

Its true that the max snow depth will nearly always be less than the snowfall but there are too many variables to take a guess at the depth.

For those playing at home, keep in mind that snow depth is not measured in tenths but rounded to the nearest half inch so if CP is keeping records I'm sure he has the snow depth for today as 9". @BxEngineyou understand?

If I had done that today I would've easily doubled my snowfall

It’s a great snowfall here but it’s also 33 degrees so it’s not piling up for me like one would think if there saw these rates and flake size.

Lots of silver dollar sized flakes today

Moderate to heavy snow around Middletown/Montgomery the past couple hours, roads just wet. A couple degrees cooler...what might have been.

Just 6 miles to my NE 5.6” earlier this morning, 7am report there

The colors on Central Hudson’s power outage map are starting to pile up quickly too
