Where is the best place to check how much rain a specific area received last night?

I like using wunderground and looking at stations around my house. NYMesonet is also good. 

Got to 26 here. Potted plants froze through but seem to be fine this morning after a little sun. I think the garlic liked the kick in the head, it looks so happy this morning.

It was 37 before the rain stopped, now it's sunny and 43. Looks like I got .2.

Yeah it just hit 65 so I'll have to kick it on soon. Gotta go get some diesel too, the tank is down to about 4" and I really don't want or need 100 gal minimum. 

Looks like some frozen precip is working into the west side of the Catskills. I don't want to turn the heat back on...

I slept through whatever happened last night. Garden was wet again and the potatoes and garlic are doing well. Hopefully early next week is the last below freezing and I can get more food plants out. Re: the front lawn; if it's green as they drive by @20 mph I'm good with it. I mow often enough, haven't fertilized or watered it in 30 years but I do "harvest" the seeds from the unmowed backyard and spread them, but that's the extent of the maintenance. 

80° is too warm. 50 is too cold. 

I'm turning into a cranky old fuk 

28

Oof

I got down to 27f.  I've paid the oil company enough already and would really like to shut the heat off until November.

26 here.

I already added 10 gallons of diesel to avoid the higher cost of a 100 or 150 gallon minimum for heating oil. I might actually go do that again today. I'm only using 5-6 gallons a week now.

I'm good with that.

It's snowing  Graupeling actually but close enough.

It's snowing

Golf weather is coming, I predict that your patience for yardwork is lower than you think right now.

Send it this way! 47 isn't horrible but the clouds and 46 dew point means it's uncomfortable. Bring on the sun! 

Boy it sure doesn't feel like it's gonna be a +17° day. 37° with dense fog isn't encouraging.

Topped at 75 before the clouds and random drops got here. Radar looked more sinister than it was.

It looks like a droopy dick because it's sad that it's showing us that kind of weather.

What were the stats for April 2012? My feeble memory says we went over 4 weeks with no rain and 60s-70s every day.

72

 72°

1998 had  5 inches of snow i NYC  (previous winter total was 0.5 inches and would have made 97/98 the least snowy season until this storm)

*shudder* That was the year after I opened a ski/snowboard shop. Both of my first two years sucked for snow.

Outside of a couple cold days it's over

Remember, I'm ~45 miles in and at 700 feet so nights are cold. I think I undershot and therefore underbudgeted for the cold 3 months and with the pop in oil (and diesel) prices it's a bad time to be stuck buying enough for 6 cold weeks when I probably only need 30-50 more gallons.
