Not sure how long you've been here, but I measured 94.9" in 95-96. My first winter here. Was a great welcome.
PS Just 62 more inches of snow this season and we break that record (I'm at 33.1").
Yes, a protest. And a commission to do an investigation. And a committee to investigate the commission. This is an outrage and I'm not going to stand for it.
Yesterdays 5.8" snowfall melted to 0.44" water. That's 13.2:1
Ratios were lower early in the event (and we might have lost a couple of hundredths to melting) and quite high during that nice finale that piled up during the game last night. Anyone's guess, but I wouldn't be shocked if the last inch or two of snow was at 20:1.
5.8" total here. Good snow day for the family. Local jackpot here and my son with the full event jackpot in PVD. His school is closed. Smithtown seasonal total is 33.1"
Interesting to note that the Smithtown spotter reporting 5.8" on the OKX PNS is not me. He/she is on the south side of town and sometimes reports some creative numbers on windy storms (e.g., about 50% more than I had in the big January storm). Very unusual for us to have similar amounts.
Street is re-whitened here. 27°
Haven't measured in a bit, but it was 4.5" last time I did. We're gonna be close to 5" on this latest "strung out, wide right, less than an inch, pointless, heartless, four-flushing, baby-eating" snowman19 storm.
Interesting little mesoscale vortices coming off the lakes this afternoon. There is one east of Cleveland and another near the Michigan-Indiana border atm.

Mods feel free to move this if it is too weathery for the banter thread.
2.9" measured on snow board as of 9:30am. Current temperature is 30.
Street has about an inch + of snow on it except a few spots that tilt south and have little shade.
Radar is reorganizing nicely over NJ. Gonna be a snowy day.

The idea of quickly wet bulbing close to freezing isn't working out here. Temp is falling slowly;.down about 1.3 degrees in the first 20 minutes of light to possibly moderate snow (I didn't go out to confirm visibility). 37° now and snow has lightened. The "dusting" is melting. Radar looks good though and slow temperature drop will get it done soon enough...just not immediately.
Boom. Snow just started here and it came in hard as all snow. Already a dusting. Not a coating, mind you as the temperature is 38 and the snow is melting pretty quickly, but definitely a dusting on the grass and tables. Melting fast, but sticking a little faster.
