    Been snowing heavily here last 30 minutes or so...surprized.

    2020 was 2nd warmest year for my 43 years of record, only 2012 averaged warmer. You want perfection? Precip totaled 48.82" which is exactly normal.

    Oye the inevitable "If it ain't gonna snow it might as well be 60° " discussion.

    Yes agree about the the liquid equivalent totals...See very few observers posting their le's... Its a decent way to kinda verify your snowfall measurements.

    SWEET!

    8.5" total here with the 2.5" that fell overnight...Melted came in at 1.01".

    Had 0.5" mostly sleet past couple hours to go along with the earlier 5.5" of snow, so 6" officially...lines up well with my 0.65 melted equiv.

    Snowed pretty good for awhile here on si...covered all non paved areas, temp dropped to 32° during snow...Put it down as 0.2"...First measurable snow since Jan 18th.

    You meant Nov right lol... Here it was 5th warmest but only 0.4° from the warmest.

    With the dry weather looking to continue the next several days...most of us have only seen two rain events during the last 33 days...fortunately they were significant for many of us locally.

    I have tons of photos of my life, started taking them when I was ten. I like to look back thru them every once and awhile, even though I've seen them a million times lol. I actually co owned a photo/video store on Guyon Ave from about 1986-1992.

    ^^^^ I remember that storm well...My wife and I had a meeting that we had to attend the next morning in Manhattan...Had to shovel out the car at 4am and drive a couple miles to catch the bus into the city.

    Hard to pick out a favorite snowstorm but the boxing day storm may be it for me...The storm itself coupled with it occurring around Christmas...We always would go to my parents on Christmas day to celebrate...Knowing there was a blizzard coming the next day seemed too good to believe.

    I didn't know about the story of Stephan Baltz...Wow so sad...I was 11 months old when that accident occured.

    Wow the early stuff...Had the aneroid barometer...not too good as you mentioned, remember always tapping it? Had a mercury min/max thermo..it had these little markers inside the glass that would stay at the highest and lowest readings..push a button to reset. It had a 6 ft cable which you put out the window. I've had a lot of equipment...Much of it I still have sitting in the basement...looks like a weather museum. First digital unit was a heathkit thermometer...remember those?

    My first weather equipment and first written observations started at around 10 years of age, maybe earlier. I'm now close to 60.

    Alan Kasper is an idol to a lot of us older folks...I learned a lot growing up listening to him.
  22. doncat
    Long time ago, don't remember lol.
  23. doncat
    Ok I checked my records...that storm was on the 5th-6th...i had 0.52" of precip and 4" of snow for the event, here on SI.
  24. doncat
    If I recall correctly, the March 2001 storm wasn't a rain bust but a too far East development for snow bust...at least for more western locations. I remember listening to one of the accuwx mets saying how the storm would be moving west closer to the coast...and I kept looking at radar saying no it wont.

    One specific storm I remember from a young age was tropical storm Doria in 1971...I remember the flooding on the side of our house where my rain gage was...So I've been at this weather observing thing for a long time.
