  1. Wow that sux. Sure it will get covered back up for the winter but when it starts to melt in the spring and all the sand floats to the top it will accelerate the melt dramatically. That means floods in the spring and low water levels in the late summer and fall because the melt wasn't spread out enough.
  2. P&C has me for 1-2" Tuesday. Do we still think that's going to happen?
  3. I'm still getting very light flurries. I just took the garbage out and there's a fresh coating since it "ended".
  4. I can't believe it's still snowing. I thought the last time I shoveled was going to be it. I was wrong. Very pretty storm, little wind and it's wet enough that it stuck to everything and it's got that nice poofy rounded look on everything.
  5. Another 20" over the next 10 days? My driveway banks are already at my shoulder height. I'm out of room. The sun can come out now. Thanx Today sure didn't underperform here. You guys just need to come to the LHV Alps.
  6. Fluffy but not fluffy. I had a hard time finding spots of 6" so it's fair to call it at 5". It's still snowing but vis is up to 1/4mi and the flakes are small. 29/28/N4/SN
  7. 29/28/NNE2/SN The flakes just got huge and the temp came up a degree. It feels like this one is just about over. Going out to measure now.
  8. Nearing 6" now. Easy to shovel until it's a pile and then it packs tight and gets heavy. I'm at the high end of my expectations so the rest is all gravy.
  9. 28/27/NE1/SN+ (maybe ++) This is as hard as it snowed at any point a few days ago. Temp is low enough that it's fluffy but it's wet snow, it gets heavy as soon as it's disturbed and piled when shoveling. Seems like about 6", I'll measure an undisturbed spot when it finishes in a little while.
  10. I'll take my southeastern location and run with it today It's snowing hard with 2" down already and the temp is staying cold enough that it's a fluffy wet snow. Gonna go push it out of the driveway into the street for the plow to take away. The downstream neighbors love it heheh
  11. Go away. Nearly 25 years of providing obs on weather forums and you're the first with a problem with it. 2" now and piling up pretty quickly. 28/26/E6/SN+
  12. Well, it certainly looks like winter right now.
  13. IMO it's sort of important for someone to have an idea of where an event is occurring which is pretty much the point of an observation in an obs thread. No? Total snowglobe out there now. Wham bam, once the column saturated it went to accumulating snow in no time. The dp only came up a degree and a half though- 30/14.4/NE4/SN
  14. Well that was quick. First flakes happening now. 1,600 feet north of the Westchester/Putnam border.
  15. Still 30/13 but the wind is mostly out of the NNE now, still light @ 3 with a lowering cloud deck. The southern horizon is getting "hazy" which is usually precip trying to get to the ground so it's close. Next post will be because it's snowing.
  16. I'll be ok with 2" but would like more. That doesn't sound right lol
  17. Yeah it takes so long to put the slippers on by 8... It's funny but all of the forums I hang out on are dead tonight.
  18. ^^ Ya know what really stands out for me on that list? The temps are more above freezing than below with (to me) surprisingly high avg temps.
  19. ^^ For a very short term event I had a max on the ground of .75" but due to warming temps throughout and a 15 minute lull that allowed the melting to start by the time it ended there was .25" or less.
  20. Except @Juliancolton who is in a 4" hole on this map and stays in that range on most others too. Sorry J
  21. Last round of snow is moving through now but the temp went up to 34 and it's melting faster than it's falling. At one point there was near 3/4" and now it's down to a half or so and only on things like bushes and leaves or existing snow, hard surfaces are not much more than a thick coating.
  22. That hole on the radar is real. It stopped snowing right on cue, the ceiling stayed low and the light stayed flat, and now as it show it passing the snow is picking right back up. If you weren't watching it intently you'd miss it, pretty cool.
  23. ^^That sux I do remember him, was wondering what happened that he just stopped posting. I figured I'd get some flurries this morning not a full on round of snow. It's snowing pretty hard and accumulating nicely. I like when winter weather exceeds my expectations
