  1. I didn't realize you got shafted that bad in 2016. That year really stands out
  2. 25" or 26" of snow here is a lame (but not disastrous) winter. Spinning low teens snowfall with almost no cold air into something somehow acceptable is irrational exuberance.
  3. Low temperature here was 16.7⁰. Snow depth =6”
  4. Some areas of blowing snow and minor drifting by east end fields this morning.
  5. 3.0" snow here melted down to 0.24". Ratio 12.5 : 1 1.17" liquid fell as snow here this week (9.4" total). Season total 14.6" A good solid early 1950's winter, except much warmer.
  6. 3.0" here on the snow boards. Light snow continues, but we're probably into the compaction phase. Snow depth on the front lawn is 7". There's still nothing under the tall hemlocks in the back.
  7. Haven't seen this view of the statue before: https://www.earthcam.net/livedemos/
  8. 32/24 here. Watching that awesome band look for all the world like it wants nothing to do with the north shore. It also looks to be about a mile south of weatherpruf.
  9. A pondering question related to snow ratios: If location A measures 12 inches of snow with 0.5" SWE and location B gets 6" with 1.0" SWE, who got more snow?
  10. Among my earlier childhood memories is listening for Gordon's forecasts. I wish I could actually remember any of them, but I can still hear his voice.
  11. Time sensitive, but beautiful sky at Montauk atm. https://hamptons.com/downtown-circle-montauk/
  12. 3/6/1990 Islip 4.2" Patchogue 6.0" Riverhead 4.5" LaGuardia 4.4" Central Park 3.1" JFK 1.9" 4/7/90 Bridgehampton 3.0" Patchogue 3.0" Islip 3.0" Westbury 2.6" LaGuardia 0.9" Central Park 0.6" JFK 0.5"
  13. Snow cover is important, but I think the effect of lake water temperatures or lake ice on the temperatures in downstate NY is less than some here seem to think. If you live on the south shore of Lake Erie, then it is significant.
  14. 2/14/1940 Central Park - 9.0" Farmingdale - 11.0" Babylon - 9.5" Setauket - 7.5" Bridgehampton - 5.2" Riverhead - 5.5"
  15. "Device" is a stretch. I just turn a 4" cocorahs gage upside down and push it into the snow, slide a piece of aluminum flashing under it, and bring it inside to melt. It's not perfect, but it's easy enough and at least seems to be in the ballpark.
  16. Melted core sample was 0.93" from 6.4" of snow (just under 7:1). It was pretty much all frozen; maybe a drop or two of rain mixed initially, but maybe not. It looked like all sleet. There could have been a hundredth or two that escaped, but I have no way of determining that.
