Most of us are still significantly above-normal on the coattails of 11/15, right? I'd assumed that system alone would keep us on track for normal snowfall right through the end of the year.

No way. Dec averages like 35” during our best snow seasons.

I've been in the village in Nyack all day and it's misty and super soggy. Is it like this away from the river too?

 

PS if you're passing by there's a nice little craft fair at the community center in the village, that's where I am. Stop in and say hey, third booth in from the front door selling handmade hats.

Damn man had i seen this earlier i would have stopped by, im like 2 minutes from there.

no snow squall warning from upton

I dont think it was needed, it was through so quickly, roads didnt even get covered for more than a minute or so. But for that short time it was very heavy, visibility was a few hundred feet. 

Ridiculously heavy snow for about 90 seconds, then it stopped almost immediately. That was awesome.

Boy 1938 was a heckuva year around here... 

Just cuz irishrob was born that year doesnt make it special ok? 

Palisades north of exit 10 is closed, over 100 cars stuck or abandoned.

4.1" here measured on a snowboard at 5:30 PM.  Still snowing but much lighter now (6:10PM).

Just for grins, I stuck the ruler lightly in the grass near the snowboard and got 5.9".  I could have probably pushed it in a little harder and measured 7" if I was trying to inflate the inflated total.

This tells me 2 things.  I need to mow the lawn when the snow melts and there are going to be a lot of BS totals reported for this one.  

You cut too short. I measured almost 9” in the highest grass.

I’m taking bets that Central Park gets more than 1.5 inches recorded. If I get it wrong I don’t post for a month, if I get it right you don’t post for a month

Oh, and I’m supposed to drive to Long Island in the morning for a wedding, joy. Odds are increasing that the church will be skipped and thankfully there’s  a shuttle between the recess down the hotel. 

Im headed to work in the morning. If my wife was off today i would have just went in today and spent the night there. Im sure the main roads will be fine by 5 am but this isnt a good start lol

Gonna be a fun drive in on bald tires to the bronx tmrw morning

This will be a traffic nightmare . Snowfall at this rate will accumulate on all road surfaces 

Everything that has a hill down here is closed in one spot or another. Palisades, 9w, 59, all have sections closed. Ugh

I went from 1” to 2” in well under an hour, that was impressive. 

Alittle over an inch in just under the last hr. Not bad.

Guys/Gals:

One thread for disco/obs or separate threads?

With short threads i dont think theres a need for separate threads. If its a long tracked system im ok with 2 threads

How about we discuss the storm and stop trying to feed egos by rushing to be first to declare threats dead (or rushing to claim you called a storm before models adjusted, just as obnoxious). 

Looks like its time for timeouts already. Awesome.

currently 27/16 here. That dewpt. is still a little low. I'm thinking late afternoon here for a start time.

Yeah havent looked at soundings in awhile, kids science fair is being packed into an early dismissal day now  but for down here it looked like around 1 or 2 we’d stsrt saturating the entire column.

The frigid air mass but warm ground is going to create quite the disparity between deck/grill/car/patio table measurements and those taken on a board properly married to the earth. I can't wait for the PNS to look something like this...

NEW WINDSOR...11.0"...PUBLIC
NEWBURGH.......8.0"...FACEBOOK
2 W NEWBURGH...8.0"...FACEBOOK
CORNWALL.......6.0"...SOCIAL MEDIA
1 N NEWBURGH...2.4"...TRAINED SPOTTER 

 

This is why you dont mow too short before winter. Shove the ruler down and measure to the tops of the snow sticking on the longest blades of grass. 4” minimum here tomorrow.
