  1. Best to post qpf charts, or at least 10:1 snowfall at this point. That way everyone can make their own forecasts of ratios from a common starting point. The same water content is pretty much the same amount of snow on the ground a few days after it falls regardless of the ratio when it fell. SWE matters.
  2. 2.6" North Smithtown (includes snow that fell Sunday 1/18 through early Monday morning). Saturdays total was 0.3" Season total is 17.0"
  3. According to one source, Suffolk County is the 62nd snowiest county in the US (there are 3244 counties and parishes): https://lawnlove.com/blog/snowiest-counties/ Seems very unlikely to me. There are exactly 62 counties in NYS. There are exactly another 62 counties in VT, NH, ME, MA, & CT (plus 5 in RI, but I'm going with a 62 theme). All the same, I might add "62nd snowiest county in the US" to my sig just for shits and grins. It says so on the Internet.
  4. It's hard to find one where the scale starts at the end of the ruler. There's usually a gap before the 0-line. Of course you can measure the gap and remember to add it... pretty simple if it's = 0.1", but a bit of a pain for measuring small amounts if the gap is any larger. It is possible to think way too hard about this and I have allowed myself that luxury.
  5. It's not the second coming of the blizzard of '78, but we might squeeze out another 2 or 3 tenths after midnight.
  6. I'm usually in 16ths of an inch or millimeters if I'm feeling adventurous; I have more than one ruler in my quiver. There's a wee bit of rounding in converting to tenths of an inch. I don't do quarters, so a full .75" would be .8". An eighth of an inch is .1" 5 millimeters is .2"
  7. North Smithtown 9:30pm 2.4" This is for Sunday. 40.88, -73.21
  8. Maybe if you had some shelter when growing up you wouldn't be so jaded.
  9. Southold (Cutchogue) and Montauk are snowing too per web cams: Cutchogue: https://www.suffolksecurity.com/live-osprey-webcam-north-fork-of-long-island Montauk:
  10. Probably unnecessary to say, but the NWS forecasts the amount of snow that will accumulate in central Park. They do not attempt to forcast what someone from the observatory will measure.
  11. It's snowing lightly here, but you'd think it was much heavier based on the visibility. Very cool vibe with the light snow and fog and everything plastered with snow. 32.7⁰, Today's snowfall so far 1.1". NWS forecast looks good, but there could be a little extra excitement this evening as the column cools a little more.
  12. That's a good trade-off, even with the snow. As the owl says, "divertiti"!
  13. @weathafellais still posting here. Check the SNE forum. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/profile/79-weathafella/ So is Randy: https://www.americanwx.com/bb/profile/9-stormtracker/
  14. Snow getting lighter. Down to a dry heave. 33⁰ New snow accumulation since last report - 0.3" Snow depth - T
  15. It's projectile vomiting snow. Temp 35⁰ New snow accumulation since last report - T Snow depth - 0.0"
  16. Just started flurrying here. Temp down but still warm at 40⁰
  17. Nice day here. 42⁰ It looked for a while like the sun might peak through the clouds.
  18. Stay away from the forum for a few weeks and you will be completely ignoring them.
  19. They're all useful. They are just tools falling into the wrong hands.
  20. That's a pretty good synopsis of this thread, minus the mania.
