Some of the short term model cloud forecasts were god awful. Lucked out in the central and eastern adirondacks for sure. 

Firs 2:45 of my drive home last night. 8 hrs total.

Absolutely unreal. Amazing experience….now i get why they say 99% vs 100% is basically not seeing it vs seeing it. 

Lucked the eff out here in lake placid. Just some high clouds. Sun very visible.

Great! Let me know what time you'll be passing through the OC so I can grab one of those growlers... Is that German bakery still there on Main St near Great Adirondack Brewing? 

That one, in the bldg with the theater? Lol

Glad/surprised to see you posting at this hour. I figured you'd be hungover from crushing Ubu's all day yesterday while listening to Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart on loop.

You arent wrong. Went to breakfast this morning, literal line down main street for breakfast spots, never seen that. But every song in the restaurant was space/sun/moon themed. Kinda driving me insane to be honest lol. 
 

also purchased a few growlers of Ubu to take home lol

Plattsburgh is probably better than Lake Placid. Burlington or Montreal would probably be better.

Itll probably take hours just to get back into NY from montreal later today, judging by 2017 traffic and the traffic already up here. Definitely have to take that into consideration, make sure you have food and water and other supplies.

In Saratoga Springs headed to Plattsburgh or Lake placid? Give me some advice please Don. To late for Maine. 

Im in lake placid now. If youre gonna head here do it soon. Place was a ZOO yesterday. Can only imagine how much worse today. I think im gonna risk it and stay here. I was considering northern vt but thats a 6-7 hour ride home on a good day. Not sure i want to deal with that tnite.

Home base is Lake Placid….might head northeast from there tmrw morning tho. We’ll see. 

I booked a hotel in Lake Placid almost 2 years ago. Will head up Sunday and spend the day up there, and then figure out where to head if need be monday.

10 minute ice squall. That was interesting.

Too bad your flight isnt today

Flew that mission coming home from yellowstone a few years ago. Aborted the landing at 1900’ and landed in atlantic city. One way rental car drive home later at 3 am 

Turn off the wind so my flight home tmrw doesnt get screwed up plz, thx.

Apparently rockland took it on the chin again overnight? 59 as usual is closed but lots of stream flooding from what i heard.

I don’t believe there are any but @BxEngine would know for sure. Even if there is one who knows how it compares to where you are. KMGJ is two or so miles away as the crow flies and the differences between there and here are interesting, no snow measurements there though, just looking at temps and rainfall. Legoland is seven miles away and the differences can be eye opening. 

As far as i know we have nothing in rockland. Can go through the pns reports and add them up LOL. There is something in the works, we have a bunch of new weather stations on firehouses and sanitation garages throughout rockland and some will be monitored in real time so we’ll see.

Interesting that the temps stayed at freezing in the city itself,but ratios went up as you went north even with less qpf. Im kinda shocked because there is almost 3 inches of fluff outside and its still snowing. Temps were 28-29 here whole time.

The park has been 31 for hours. 

Least the 1” or so looks pretty.
