  1. Wish people would stop using the term "non event" for every storm that doesn't give significant snows for certain areas. I'm picky as I get older.
  2. I didn't know about the story of Stephan Baltz...Wow so sad...I was 11 months old when that accident occured.
  3. 23° here this am...Notice pressure at 30.74" my friends?
  4. I'd hardly call it "horrible"....Sure we'd like more snow, but from an excitement and forecasting viewpoint...I think its pretty good
  5. Yes true...I was speaking for my station where the LE was less than seen further east.
  6. 1.0" here...Not a temp thing here, just less precip fell.
  7. Couple more inches and I'll hit 60" for the year...last year had 69.55".
  8. I like it stormy too...rather have snow of course but like the rain also.
  9. Yeah gotta say I was disappointed with the overnight runs concerning winter weather...will be wet though next ten days with several precip chances. Today's rain along with tomorrow's rain/snow may approach 2"...Already 0.50" has fallen here this am.
  10. Cant understand why people are always so fixated on whats gonna accumulate and where in nyc proper....when many of them live 10's of miles away in a totally different environment. If I get 3" at my location, I really don't care if the streets in Manhattan are only wet. If you live in the urban areas...different story.
  11. Light winds now...down to 26°.
  12. You need the ECFS model for that
  13. 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?
  14. My first weather equipment and first written observations started at around 10 years of age, maybe earlier. I'm now close to 60.
  15. LE here was 0.74" on Sunday and 0.50" Monday into tues.... 1.24" total.
  16. Yeah I take it as a compliment.
  17. Alan Kasper is an idol to a lot of us older folks...I learned a lot growing up listening to him.
  18. Long time ago, don't remember lol.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. No neither uncle or I live in Westerleigh, that was another observer
