Holy compaction batkidz  I measured a bit under 8" in some sheltered areas and 2 hours later the same area was under 6! For the most part I came up with about 7" of dense, sugary, heavy shit. It makes for great driveway piles  

Over 8" and still snowing lightly. I'll get out and measure in a few minutes, there's coffee to be finished before shoveling.

Most of my property torched off yesterday but it's full cover across the street so if I squint when I look out the window it's a white Christmas.

@wishcast_hater it was all about the elevation here on the east side too. I went over to Brookfield CT and as I dropped below about 500 it was just white rain.

I don't like the trajectory for the Friday night event. Talk about 20 miles making a big difference.

I still have snow on the ground in my portion of the immediate metro. Weird. 

Upstate? Could be.

We give you some leeway

I didn't get past 2" at any point but it snowed for hours without the depth changing. I'll be curious to see some liquid equivalents around me. Mega foggy now.

I've touched on a band for a few minutes here and there but not for very long so I'm still at or just under an inch. Temp is creeping up too at 31° now with 32/33 close. 

From full snow cover to 55° with 1.3" of rain and now it's 30° with accumulating light snow and back to full cover including a slushy buildup in the street. Heckuva day

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?
