2010-2011 was some of the biggest snow piles my whole time in Long Beach where the old amusement park used to be.

That was a fun place 50 years ago.

Through the 15th / first half of Dec Departure

LGA: -8.6
NYC: -8.6
EWR: -7.9
JFK: - 7.6

What about some of us up here like HPN, DXR and SWF? 

Yard measurements were all 4.5-5", shaded driveway was spot-on 4", and elevated surfaces were 4-4.5. Due to my completely unorthodox procedures I'd call it 4". 

How many days was the less than 4" record?

Expected 2", got 4". Driveway shovel pile shaping has begun.

4" here

A very surprising 4.2 new inches on the ground as of 6:30 am. They never even gave Orange County a WWA, not that I care.

Day 13 of snow cover and counting. 

28.2° light/moderate snow

When I drove through on 17/84 around 10pm the heaviest snow between Monticello and The River was from a bit east of Middletown to about 3 miles from the bridge. That probably put down your first inch or more in a big hurry.

Other than the notorious torch spots I like to see full cover of at least 1". When more than just the torch spots start opening up that's it for me.

I'm heading up to Kingston for an event this evening.  I assume the thruway will be no worse than wet.  Any intelligence to the contrary?

Sorry. No intelligence here.

@Hitman ok, warm south of 84. Good?

I kinda like really warm Christmas's. Everything is closed and there's nothing to do so I've gotten used to going for a nice quiet mt bike ride.

While it certainly hasn't been wet, the soil moisture is good down to 20" or more. The rain I did get came at the right time and did a really good job of working it's way down. Now the trick is going to be ramping up the rain amounts before it dries out again.

Nice morning out there, 27/26 with no wind and a fresh couple of tenths coating whitening things up.

It flaked here most of the afternoon yesterday and picked up right around sunset. Everything is nicely coated now and it seems to have stopped. 27/26/0 

I need to drive out to Monticello this morning, what's 17 looking like? 

8* with a spotty crusty coating. The only place it isn't spotty is our front steps, they'll probably be icy for weeks now.

8°

Snowfall totals from yesterdays storm. You can find all events from the 25-26 season here, this is the first one i've done for tri-state.

I can attest to how sharp the line is from 1"+ to .2. I got about .2 and 1 mile west actually needed to be plowed.

Ehh, my half inch was optimistic. lol Coupla tenths at best. The rain softened it right up  so it should melt off the warm ground pretty quickly right? I don't feel like pushing the shovel so I'm going with it.

R**n ahh well, that was fun. Wonder if it rains enough to wash the crud out of the driveway?

31/30 It has that about to change to rain feel.

30/30/NE2 I've got about a half inch of dense, loud snow, accumulation. WTF is loud snow! The whole time it's been varying small to large flakes but always mixed with sleet. Not quite prime Jebwalk conditions.

Half inch of dense frozen white stuff with layers of snowflakes! Yay. Well, better than white rain I guess *shrug*

A headlined potential with ensuing discussion is being frowned upon? Someone needs to get over themselves... @wdragI appreciate your efforts every time I guess it doesn't matter for some but there's that one time that you step around the north side of a building, or what have you, and that unexpected patch of slipperiness bites you in the ass and you go down. Sidewalks are hard 

I love the sights and sounds of the first snow of the season. I like when it softens and smooths the forest floor and opens up the sightlines through the trees. I also like that I work for myself and can hang out in the yard and listen to the neighborhood get quiet, with the occasional sounds of people that don't have that opportunity sliding into each other because: summer tires  This time I might even be able to do a daytime Jebwalk and watch the show.

What an awful day.  The 2 breaks I had in classroom training and it was just damp and raw.  Misty on drive home.  

Better than if it was 34°

I was thinking similarly. Considering the warmer background state it seems that as the early cold degrades winter may struggle to stay.

I pretty much run my business from two spots on the couch or the dining room table if I need to spread out papers. I go visit customers when I feel like wearing real shoes or I need a break from the wife
