  1. 32/32 NE3-5 still mixed precip but looking much more wintry than rainy. Of course I have to leave to pick up the kid at LGA in a few minutes.
  2. At least it sorta broke the drought. Lemonade and all of that.
  3. 37/37 NE3 mixed rain and snow It's miserable out there.
  4. @sn0wIt was a very short lived episode and it turned to rain soon after so if you weren't awake and looking out you may have missed it.
  5. My kid is supposed to get on a plane at 6:30 this evening in Rochester, I'm hoping the "good stuff" holds off until after that so she doesn't have to spend the night (or more) in the airport. @Brasiluvsnowmaybe your son can pick her up on his way by if everything gets messed up?
  6. All through the Hudson Valley the differences are pretty dramatic based on elevation. My avg is somewhere near 50" for the last 30 years but many places within 25 miles are closer to 30" especially as you go lower and closer to the river.
  7. Other than the dense .2" coating I got around 11:15pm during that burst of insanely huge flakes this was a net loss. There's nothing left on the ground, even my shovel piles are gone. Onward >>>>
  8. 32/32 E6 SN These are the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen, it's like snowballs falling from the sky Otherwise it has been white rain since a little after 3 this afternoon.
  9. Heh, the snow that's falling is actually melting the snow that was on the ground. Gotta love Mahopac. Not
  10. Of course, 20 minutes ago I said I've had nothing and 10 minutes later the white rain started.
  11. I didn't know you were up there now. Yeah Patterson has some areas that have significantly different weather than most of the area. Where in the town are you? Here in Mahopac it's 31/29/E6 and it looks and feels like it wants to snow.
  12. I'm ok with this one staying W and N, I have a bunch of driving around the metro to do on Friday.
  13. It never gets dark in our house anymore. The best is when they go to FL for the winter the lights go on a motion sensor so they're constantly going on and off. I need a bb gun
  14. I spent a summer in AK and it was cool to see the sun just barely get down to the horizon overnight.
  15. I was only able to see a few meteors, not because of the moon but the neighbors outrageous amount of outdoor lights. I asked one that has 4 floodlights that are always on to turn them off until after 10 so I could watch the sky and he told me to fk off. He said that's what cars are for and I should get into one and leave There's not much snow on the ground here but it still looks more wintry than just stick season so I guess that's a win.
  16. What about further east on 84 through the higher elevations on this side of the river?
  17. Woah, Forky getting aggressive there. I like it.
  18. I'm more of a layman but with 50 years of learning and observing in person. I've lived all over the country, including a short stint in AK, and have traveled through 43 states so have a fair idea of what thing actually look like. Maybe we should have a Geo-weather thread where we can geek out. If I do it we're guaranteed to get rain
  19. I lived in VT the winter of 84/85 and that January into the first few days of Feb is the coldest stretch I've seen on the east coast. The weather station near campus had a week where it didn't break 0 and a few nights below -30. Granted it was in a hollow but damn, that was some cold ****
  20. First shovel session of the season about to commence Get it cleared off now so what little sun we get later dries it out before it ices over after sunset.
  21. 27/26 E3 cloudy with the (very) occasional random flake. 1.5 on the ground with almost 3 on car and garbage can tops. Our puppy thoroughly enjoyed her first snow edit: It was closer to 2", not 3
  22. It didn't actually stop snowing so I put down almost another inch. Everything is covered, streets are sketchy and with it down to 27° with steady small flakes falling it's filling in all the gaps. It ought to look good in the morning. I guess now the trick is keeping the late week storm cold so we keep the cover for a while.
