You can change your location, it still shows as Boulder, CO

Bingo. When they introduced themselves to us, they literally warned us that they’re obnoxious, and man they are. Screaming kids, and music so loud that I can hear it over my TV. Luckily we have local code enforcement, who are on speed dial!

Gotta hate those damn kids always having a good time!!!

The last April Fools storm was a disaster here. I would be ok with it if that doesn't happen again.

Were you living in the same spot then?

I remember an electrical fire on the power lines/transformer down the hill on Croton Falls Rd. made the entire sky turn red at my parents house. It was crazy to look at...it was night and supposed to be entirely dark and you could see almost like it was day from the sky being lit up from the fire.

I know some places saw some wind, but IMBY this may have been one of the worst wind forecast busts we've ever had. For most of the storm, it was relatively calm, and I'm not sure we even saw a gust to 20 at the worst. Forecast the day prior was for gusts into the 40s.

 @sn0wyou should come back up this way, it's still coming down. Winding down but still low vis. A bunch of cars tried to get up and slid back down so be careful if you come up this way. 

29/28/WNW 2-4 SN- 

How much did you guys end up actually otg by the time all was said and done? I'd say down the hill we had maybe 4 or 5 inches when it finally shut off last night. My parents who are between me and Kings Ridge at 650-700' or so had probably 7 inches on the ground when I dropped the kids off there this morning. I had taken a second drive up to Kings Ridge around 5 PM yesterday and the car tops looked like they had maybe 8-10 inches on them.

This is insane when these bands come through. I've been under one for over an hour now and even at 33° I've gotten 4" making it about 6" since my 6am measurements, totaling 12 and it's coming down 2-3"/hr right now. It has taken multiple measurements to get there though because it melts fast when the rates lighten up. It was down to ~3-4" before the current band. 

I just drove the 3 miles from my house at 450 feet up to King's Ridge Road which is at about 950 feet. Crazy how different of a world it is up there than here. Here the roads are wet, maybe 3 inches in the grass because of the melting as it snows today. Up there they probably have 8 inches otg and roads are completely snowcovered.

I'm going for maximum ugliness here with minimum payoff. Roads are all blocked, power out, my dogwood and lilacs getting decimated... all for 4" and struggling to make any net gains in the daylight. Snow growth has improved again after a lull, so maybe we can start adding inches again. 

Power is out? Are you getting the winds already? Almost dead calm here...

You're gonna much better than me I think...im also in carmel but my new house is at 450 feet. 

Something i overlooked when i bought btw... although pretty sure after 6 months of looking and finding a house we liked my wife wouldn't have been ok with me saying no because i wanted at least 300 feet more elevation

The winter storm warning for western passaic, orange, and putnam was just updated 10 minutes ago.

They actually upped the min totals...calling for 6-12 where the original was 4-12.

@snywx are you flipped over to snow yet?

So what are we thinking tonight? Inch or so of slop that gets washed away by morning?

50 today. NWS forecast for 2-4 tomorrow night then mixing and this is reasonable. Weather channel app has me 8-12 tomorrow night up from 5-8, lol. GFS does have me getting 11 but we know that will not verify. 

LMFAO I had to go to weather.com myself to see this...they must just create a text output of the GFS verbatim or something. And you know plenty of people use solely use weather.com and are thinking they are getting a foot of snow tomorrow night

Cigar with some whiskey on the front porch right around 9 or 10 tonight sounds just about right. Gotta enjoy potentially the only "real" snowfall of the season to its fullest.

Cigar is winding down and i may go reload... Cant beat the peace of falling snow at night

Other than the dense .2" coating I got around 11:15pm during that burst of insanely huge flakes this was a net loss. There's nothing left on the ground, even my shovel piles are gone. 

Onward >>>> 

Elevation definitely played a huge role around here...my new house is at @ 430 feet right on the border of Mahopac and Carmel and we barely got any slowflakes and zero coating of any kind.

Yeah, content-aware fill makes quick work of powerlines. @sn0w, it would take me about 5 minutes if you wanted to send me the file at original resolution. 

I really appreciate that. I wasn't able to send it to you via PM based on size so I sent it to your email that you have listed in your profile. Thanks!
