    There's easily 2" out there. Seeing as I never expected more than 1" and this is far from over I'm pleasantly surprised. Big, fat, fluffy flakes drifting down is always a nice thing to wake up to. 26/26/N1/SN

    Nothing but piles and maybe an inch of spotty garbage on northerly aspects. I didn't look into this one much before but it looks like the western side is further west than I expected.
  3. gravitylover
    Yeah, the year I opened my ski shop

    Oh boy oh boy oh boy I'm gonna get another inch! Ooooh, 14 inches here we come Is all that rain next week for real? That wind too
  5. gravitylover
    Yeah it's 'stay on the pavement season'.

    So I'm at about 13" so far, I should be around 20 and annual is 48-50. Keep complaining, go on... Winter's over. I'm going to put together some new bikes tomorrow. I might wash the car too.

    Major? I would need 3 majors. I could do it with 2 historics or possibly one biblical but that's a stretch.

    Even though Snow Ridge is (slowly) passing 100"? It's too bad to see winter taking a dump everywhere already

    That struck on this side of the state this week. Hey folks! I haven't been in this forum in way too long but now, again, I need some feet on the ground info. We picked up those Indy Passes and we get 2 days each at Greek, Swain, Snow Ridge and Titus. We'll do an overnight but can't get that far out until Wed-Fri next week so where am I most likely to find (what's left of) the good midwinter snow I'm jonesin' for?

    I like your take on it Doorman. While there was never much of consequence with this episode a 10-20% chance of little to nothing sounds just about right. Next...

    You did it again.

    I don't think I can handle another uselessly snowy beginning of spring. Another cold and wet April can't happen. Nope.

    I'll take my inch and run with it. If I keep reaching I might even end up as good as 30" below average
  14. gravitylover
    Exactly ^^^^

    The Rt 22 corridor through Dutchess and Columbia counties has very little snow left. It looks like late March.

    The river was moved. It's not the only time or place that has happened. Can you take a boat between the mainland and the island? Yes, therefore it doesn't matter (anymore). Heck, back in the 17th and early 18th centuries you could walk from the Lower East Side to Brooklyn at low tide until it was dredged out. The East River is an estuary not a river so there's another connection that's not a connection anymore. Meh... It's an island.
  17. gravitylover
    What part of Manhattan isn't an island?

    While surrounded by water on LI it's hard to access (during the summer when you most want to) without paying to do so. That drives me nuts.

    I don't like that map, I think I'll ignore it

    Yeah but we don't have anywhere near the maritime influence up here unless the wind is just right. I do see quite a bit on an ESE wind but I think a lot of that is due to being on the eastern aspect of the lower Taconics, I'll also be affected by backdoor fronts a lot more than they are 10 miles west of me.. If the prevailing winds are W, NW or NE my weather will be more continental than coastal. I'm ~10 miles north of Mt Kisco and a few hundred feet up.

    I had my suv towed to a shop this morning, been waiting since last Saturday for a local guy to be able to do it. He said that since Sunday he's been pulling between 10 and 16 cars a day off 684 with broken wheels, snapped tie rods and control arms or two blown tires.

    I'll tell you when you don't want to see thundersnow, when you're sitting on a chairlift 40 feet off the ground in a whiteout. Scary shit! edit for typos

    There's a section of I 684 by exit 6 southbound that's taking out 30+ cars a day since last Thursday so the HELP truck just sits there. It's amazing how many cars have to be towed because real spare tires are a rare breed on newer cars. A can of fix-a-flat or run flats is what they get but that's useless when the wheel is cracked. Low profile tires on big wheels for the win Julian, I've been getting very light flurries for quite a while now, I'm surprised you're not.

    It's amazing how quickly things freeze back up when the sun goes down and the ground is frozen. I hit the ground hard getting out of the car.

    Yeah that January storm turned into a memory too quickly but I was able to live vicariously through the LE reports out of Buffalo. They got dumped on a couple of times a week from early Jan through mid Feb when the lake finally froze. I even wrote a paper for school titled "If I had 16 feet of snow" and got a really good grade (for a change).
