  1. It just wants to snow still here north of HPN. I've had light snow for at least an hour. Nothing to add to the stake but it's good mood flakes. Looking forward to mid-month.
  2. We might win the golden shovel in this subforum
  3. Didnt even need to drive to buffalo
  4. NWS cut HPN down to 2-4 from 3-5. I agree with that assessment. We will see.
  5. NWS Totals too high for my area HPN. No way 4, esp. on the ground. Maybe 2. Trend going against them.
  6. We may yet see something later. Tough deal because this was the first storm really all season to get within 6 days model lead time still with a chance...but fits the season.
  7. I would not bet on it with real money, true. However, it can certainly be done! CPK needs 29.7 inches (or something like that) now, and I don't see 2 foot plus storms and then a moderate snowstorm happening. 20 would be a miracle.
  8. Its happened before at least for CPK. One storm did it in 2006 and another in 2016. I think 27 inches was 'normal' for CPK at the time. The question is, if we get normal snowfall in one week, how do we rate this winter overall? This is an F+ winter to date only because a T was recorded a couple times at CPK and December was below normal temps, hence the +.
  9. No one is getting married yet, but many will definitely be practicing for wedding night after 00z runs if this holds then.
  10. We get a lot of mirage 10 day storms and patterns with potential even in good winters. Even the mirages are fewer this year, and we certainly have not arrived at any snow oasis. I think that paints the mental picture many of us have imprinted. This winter is absurd and so far outside the norm even a non winter enthusiast (a civilian) could be feeling a bit off center about the whole thing, let alone this group of profound loonys ( and I count myself as one). Skiers, snowmobilers, ice fisherman, outdoor hockey people, snowmen and snowwomen makers, sledders, all of whom now forlorn on some level. and the weenies are forsaken and burnt, quite literally.
  11. I got 16 degrees here and enough wind to knock the top off my tree. Tree is going to have to come down since nothing is left of it now. No damage but concerned about the tree next to it. I am taking that one down as well.
  12. Snow clearing got a lot better over the last 40 yrs or so. Where I grew up we used to be able to reliably ride snowmobiles on the country roads with anything over 6 inches for a least few hours especially if the snow fell late at night. We would have the country roads to ourselves. Nowadays - feet of snow can fall but hardly any of it has a chance to even make it to the ground let alone pile up.
  13. I skied in -30 at Stowe in 2018. The wind so bad we could not ski at the summit, so we had to stay on the resort side and ski there only all weekend. It was bad. I had a charity ski race to be in otherwise I would have stayed home. I wore my snowmobile gear and that mostly worked.
  14. small white particle substances falling from the sky here at a brisk rate. Will revert when I identify exactly what these foreign objects are.
