Not gonna lie, I was surprised too when I read it but then checked out the WeatherLink map and saw just how cold it was in that neck of the woods. Impressive.

Thanks to @wdrag I make a point to refer to these now. Clearly the Walden site has an issue with the precipitation as they must’ve had more than that but here you go, precipitation and snowfall from Friday morning through this morning.

Oh he’s serious, you can see the below zero temps all around him.

It’s a rain gauge that can also be used to catch snow when you take the top off and smaller cylinder out to then melt down to get the LE and it can be used to get the LE in the snowpack

My friend talked his mother into renting a town car for us. He damn near wrecked it taking a corner too fast, the best part of which was my prom date sliding across the back seat into to me with all that God had bestowed upon her…let’s just say I had my hands full. That was the most action I got that night from that innocent catholic girl who went in to marry a doctor and have 6 kids. Clearly that night was her last “slumming it”.

Prom car?

Yep, that’s what I’m going to do too. We can race to see who posts it first in the morning LOL

Do you have a Stratus? I’d love to know what your liquid equivalent is.

Mine was .24, so just less than 10:1. To be fair, I didn’t check it yesterday after I came home from work so maybe there was .01 in there from yesterday’s light snow that mostly melted.

I forgot they like to freeze…Bud Light still all liquid though, go figure.

And you think it’s cold here today…

The euro looks interesting Thursday night into Friday…

Thoughts and prayers

2.3” total

They were using bulldozers and road graders on the parkways up here trying to scrap the ice off.

That’s some nice winter footwear you have there

Wish I kept records back then…anyway, we had a snowfall in the morning up here, I want to says something like 6”-8” in bitter cold temps before the warm front blasted through changing it over to plain rain. Then that evening the arctic front barreled through changing the rain over to snow and everything froze. At the time NYS was trying to save money and NYSDOT had cutback on night and holiday plowing. As a result the roads became blocks of ice that were impassable for days rock salt was pretty much ineffective during the cold snap that followed. NYSDOT then developed a policy that the plow should be dropped if there is any snow between the white lines on the road. This link talks about the dramatic temp swings that occurred in NYC https://thestarryeye.typepad.com/weather/2012/02/new-york-weather-highlights-1994.html

I’m not a jackpot guy but the fact that its so cold is a bit of a bummer because I’d have days of drifting here with more fresh snow. 1.9” on the board, in the old days it would be boarderline plowable as 2” was the threshold until the rules changed after the Martin Luther King 94 storm debacle.

December 30, 2000 is definitely one of my favorites!

It’s easy to see that geography isn’t a strong suit for some as they use minutes away instead of miles. Then there are those that use road miles away rather than as the crow flys. Riverhead is about 15 or so miles further away from Central Park than I am to @BxEngines point.

30 minutes away in these driving conditions? Dry pavement conditions? Rush hour? Off peak? What kind of 30 minutes away are we talking here?

So you can easily post here that you have a foot of snow

Gold! Solid gold!

At what point do we want to be in the models jackpot zone? Asking for a friend.
