Up at the top or near the reservoir ? My folks live right off ridge rd up there. Nice little weenie spot for snow 

2.13” for the event here. 74.35” YTD.

A couple inches of snow on Schunnemunk Mountain >1,000’ in elevation.


.

This is kinda weird, I know it rained overnight because everything is wet but none of the local stations show anything.

My folks live right next to the reservoir on the slope of Schunnemunk and they are telling me they have 14”. Monroe is checking in with a 15 spot also. That  stationary band must of been something special

Definitely a local jackpot. Highland Mills/Monroe area seems to reliably outperform over the years.

Hefty accumulations @ 1,450’ on Schunnemunk Mountain! Game cam picked up a couple deer earlier today.

Snow depth in Blooming Grove is still significant. For reference, those are 27” tires. I was in Catskill earlier today and the snow cover was patchy, just about melted up there.

Just took the first measurement in Cornwall, average of 18”. Still coming down heavy and radar seems resilient up here in Orange County. Let’s go two feet!

Edit: Temp up to 29.1

8” on the nose in Cornwall. 1” last hour, snow/graupel mix. Radar snow hole incoming...

what town?

I’m on the north side of Cornwall.

DP went from 2 to 12 in about 15 mins. Temp dropped from 23 to 21 in that time. Snow rates picking up quick out there now.

Flurries starting in Cornwall Orange County

Is it me or has the Weather Channel gone downhill? They had a segment on the use of pickle juice as an ice melter instead of salt due to environmental hazards...

That aside, looking forward to a good storm here in Cornwall!

Nice blanket of snow on top of Schunnemunk Mountain. The trail cam is about 1,580’ in elevation. Cold up there- temp reading showing 25 degrees.

This air quality map really shows how bad the fires are out west.

0.92 so far. Had  a transformer pop before  in the area during the first round. Lights flashed for a second and the power automatically rerouted.  Lucky me. Timed it right as per driving today. Left Lake George around 10 am before the line ramped up. 
edit. 1.04 now.

Believe it or not, when you hear a pop, it is a fuse blowing on a pole and not a transformer. Also, the momentary interruptions you see are devices on the line that attempt to clear a fault. Generally, a recloser or substation breaker will operate three times before locking out. If a branch falls and causes a fault then falls to the ground, power will be restored automatically. If it remains remains on the line, then the device will lock out and require manual intervention once the repairs have been made.

Yeah I really have no need for severe weather but do need multiple days with significant rain. The pressure coming out of our well is pretty inconsistent, that's when pumps get damaged and to replace ours is well over $3k because of how deep it is 

My next door neighbor has had a well driller pounding away for two days now. No water yet. I hope mine holds out, it’s over 500’ deep already.

Just saw video from a few miles away from here, serious pea sized hail. 

Who would have thought snow in May then a thunderstorm with hail two days later. Add it to the list of 2020 oddities...

Surprising to see PM 2.5 at ”1” at the area reporting stations today. I think the lowest I’ve ever seen was 20 or so. Pretty incredible. Bunch of articles online about better air quality around the globe with all the decreased activity due to Coronavirus. Took the day to go for a hike on Schunnemunk Mountain. Got 8 miles in. No Corona up there! Hope everyone is staying healthy.

Good to see you posting, it’s always a sign that something noteworthy is going on. I have a feeling if you lose power you have some connections...;)

Yes indeed! Lol

Tpalm, are you new around here? Welcome.

After my last bitch about getting shafted it started snowing, then it snowed harder and for a pretty long time. I haven't been out but it looks like at least 3" and may be closer to 4.

Thanks @gravitylover! Been poking around since 2010 but don’t post much. Always on here though when winter comes around. Enjoy the snowpack!

Still pouring snow. Had the power bump off for a few seconds then saw the sky light up when a fuse blew. Luckily came back on. Here we go!

Just measured 7” in Cornwall including yesterday’s glacier layer. Tail end of this storm is surprising to the upside, moderate rates with radar showing at least a couple more hours of incoming. Getting nervous with the tree branches though. I lost a small white pine in the front garden, snapped in half. And I have a large Japanese Maple still with leaves on it. I went out with a 20’ pole to knock the snow off the branches. I’m sure there’ll be some damage in the morning. 

Sleet/Graupel/Freezing Rain mix @ 22 degrees in Cornwall. Roads will be slick quickly at these temps.

Moderate sleet in New Windsor. Lowest temperature of the event... 20.1 and still slowly dropping. Odd storm to say the least.

About an inch on the ground near SWF with moderate snow. Temp has dropped 7.4 degrees since 5pm. Down to 23.7. Hoping the trend continues.

2” OTG. Down to 22.1. Still cooling steadily.
