    It's over. I got dusted.

    Well that was fun I barely got a dusting but at least it looks (almost) like winter. No sleet just flakes. Maybe I'll get enough later to call it a coating... I think I may be too far east for this one.

    Happy Birthday

    The first few random flakes are falling now.

    Tivoli is on the river, Millerton is on the eastern border so about 25-30 miles E.

    Wet wet wet. I had some sleet but it barely accumulated other than on the remnant crusty piles leftover from the storm a few weeks ago before changing to rain. Now it's just dense fog. Next...

    That's been my thing too, nothing is frozen. Some days there's a thin coat of ice on the ponds but nothing that matters. The ground started to freeze, enough that the windstorm last week was a non issue but it's thawed now. It isn't really winter yet (again?).

    I think I'm around 15", sure it's more than down there but that's to be expected. I get about 50"/yr so I guess we're running about normal but it has been fairly warm and more wet than white.

    29/23 thin high clouds with muted sunlight. Considering the clouds the radiational cooling from overnight is surprisingly evident this morning. As it warms I expect the RH will jump quickly as the thick frost evaporates.

    Similar here in Mahopac, down in town it's 23/21 but up on my hill it's more like 29/23.

    Yes. There are occasional references to the potential further east. Hartford and Worcester do enter the conversation but not often. I dont know if more than a few here understand the Tolland zone.

    I'm 20 minutes from Danbury, it hasn't been terribly wintry here.
  13. gravitylover
    Yup but the stretch here in Putnam is the high point for NY, that was my point.
  14. gravitylover
    The highest elevations reached on 84 are in Putnam County between the Taconic Pkwy and Carmel where it reaches 1k feet. There are actually gates they use to close the road in snow or icy weather like the big mtn passes out west. When the weather gets bad in that stretch it's "inspiring" to watch.

    Yeah it's a weird scene there but it's a nice enough little town. There isn't much to it though. There's 4 or 5 small businesses and a town park and that's really about it.

    Haha. I was up in your 'hood today, stopped in the bike shop in downtown Rhinebeck and Pleasant Valley. My wife goes to the wacky little yarn store in Tivoli a few times a year so I get some work done while we're there.

    I think I saw 7 flakes. It might have been dust.

    Another system where I was literally right on the edge. Out my window to the SE under the cloud deck it was bright and sunny but go 3 blocks over the hill and you could see the snow/precip obscuring the next range of hills.

    https://cbs6albany.com/news/local/gallery/avalanche-damages-lodge-at-belleayre-mountain-ski-center#photo-1 What a mess I'm seeing pictures all the way up to the border in NH and VT and the ground is bare. Many ski areas were washed clean and need to start from scratch again. In this year of reduced revenues and ticket sales this could put them over the edge.

    48/45/W-WSW 7-11 I had to go over to Ridgefield CT a little while ago and other than a few trees down and some debris on the roads there's not much damage that I could see. Here on my hill in Mahopac the wind has turned to mostly westerly and the temp is dropping steadily.

    I don't know because I havent really tried. On the NWS app it's not as bad as on a computer so I haven't looked around yet. I know that WU isn't any different which is nice. I have friends in Pittsburgh and they've been saying it's 17° with at least 6" so far. I don't know if we actually end up seeing any of the snow but it's gonna get cold for sure.
  22. gravitylover
    I lost power for a few hours but got it back around 5am. Yeah that new radar sucks.
  23. gravitylover
    Well that was fun. Huge wind, big noise and no apparent damage. Frozen rather than muddy ground made all the difference, I haven't been out yet but I don't see any trees down out the windows.

    That station is just a few miles south of me and situated similarly to me. It's exposed to the E/ESE and on a hillside. The numbers for other stations within a short distance are more similar to Brewster's 51. Most of the area is high 50s maxes but I'll tell you, it was roaring. My wife and kids were sitting in downstairs doorways because they were afraid we were going to have a tree land on the house. Temp and exposure. Up here on the hills and ridges it was impressive. A quick visual scan of my property looks like I got lucky, just a few large branches down. Gonna go charge up the battery for the chainsaw and have some Christmas fun later.

    I tried to be so optimistic but the storm just wouldn't listen
