Inland areas are also struggling 

We did well in December but it completely reversed after the mid dec event

This winter is a carbon copy of 97-98. Wet and warm. 01-02 was dry

Even where I am up in Sloatsburg there has yet to be a plowable snowfall. It’s crazy to say that on 1/16. The last time plows were needed up here was the minor event we had on Sat, March 12th, 2022. Over 10 months ago….insane

We’ve had 2 plowable events this season here in western Orange County. Since the mid dec event here it’s been virtually snowless outside of a coating here and there

I laugh sometimes at all the humor...it's pretty good. I like this one above since I'm a bit of an old guy, music wise.  The Righteous Brothers circa 1964. 

I always say, don't look too far ahead.  We have the next two weeks for a 'bit' of hope LI, including late tonight e tip LI. Nasty wind driven sleet and snow storm in progress now far se MA and CC. 

Added the seasonal snowfall (half the winter so far) for our part of the world.  You can check the NOHRSC broader view in the pic within pic upper right (inset).  Here's a tiny challenge?  Can we double what's occurred, the rest of the 22-23 cool season???

By the way,  Major cities season to date snowfall through yesterday.  BOS 1.4;   NYC, PHL, DCA, AVL Trace and oh,  wouldn't you know it...my wife always says we should move south for snow. Atlanta 0.1".  Can you beat that?

That map looks spot on for up here.. 

10.6” ytd 

0.1” of snow/sleet here

current temp 31

If I didn’t get ‘crushed’ by that 5” in December (shut up Bx) I’d definitely be posing STFU (Striving Towards FUtility) comments by now.  I got to witness a nice snowy weekend in South Bend back in November too, so I have that going for me. 

What’s your year to date ?

Just posted in the interior thread how the dewpts went from the mid 50’s today to negative numbers currently. Crazy swing.

41 degree swing here so far

Currently 5/-7 here

Nice coating of snow but all standing water is a sheet of ice now. Salt trucks have been nonstop the past hour 

Temp 16 degrees 

Sticking to all surfaces. Maybe we can squeeze an inch out of this

Snowing here

Winds are starting to pick up. Gusting to 25 now

Temp of 46

1-2” of snowpack survived the night

Not much in the wind category here either, though northern Sullivan definitely gusted 40+. Pressure down to 985, the wind threat for you and I probably turns to the front but probably more like gusts 30-40 from here

 

snowpack didn’t get detonated so that’s a plus 

Thankfully most of the excitement stayed well east of here. Very little wind to speak of and now it’s quite a beautiful morning. Partly cloudy skies and 46 degrees 

Temp 42

1.19” of rainfall so far 

not much wind to speak of. Highest  gust here was 15mph

Temp 29 w/ a few flurries

Still have 4” of snow cover here

It feels like winter right now.. too bad that vicious cutter is gonna decimate the solid 4” snowpack outside. Took a drive up Greenville turnpike to the top of Greenville mountain about 5 miles to my west… shocked to see how much snow there is above 1200’. Solid 6-7” up there.

Possibly lol.  It's much easier to do in the late night hours when few people are around lol.  During the day when everyone is posting it would be like every third or fourth post lol.

Use the multi quote please!!

Its rather fitting, something has to wipe out the snow right before Christmas I have been lucky enough to accumulate in the yard

It’s amazing how A grinch storm has become the norm now.

I actually think this December has been better than some recent past ones. A lot of northern and western parts of this subforum have already seen 3 snow events. The snow did make it into NYC and the immediate suburbs last Sunday. I can't remember the last winter it snowed much in or near NYC before Christmas. 

This is very true. I’m at 10.6” ytd at 12/16. Not too bad at all

I bet there is a Mt Pocono like elevaton around there where someone averages 70 inches lol.  Maybe up near Monticello?  That's right near the edge of our subforum.

 

Yeah Monticello prob averages around 65-70”. That stretch between Rock Hill to MSV capitalize on these types of events

All through the Hudson Valley the differences are pretty dramatic based on elevation. My avg is somewhere near 50" for the last 30 years but many places within 25 miles are closer to 30" especially as you go lower and closer to the river. 

My 20 yr average is 53”. I’m pretty sure areas like Cornwall, highland falls, new Windsor are in the 35-40” range for the same period. Those towns are right on the western shores of the Hudson with elevation <200’

Yeah I was going to say it's somewhere around 65, but 60 also looks reasonable.

I don't like 30 year "averages" at any rate, the entire climate history should be used.

 

The averages really drop off once near the immediate shores of the Hudson. Down In Orange County I believe the averages along the Hudson are in the 35” range but increase to the 50-55” as you move west toward Middletown/Otisville with elevation
