I dunno if I can sit through a radio show this soon. Also they won't have the benefit of the ECMWF at that hour and what good will it be to analyze the GFS in it's "brain dead" mode right now. Not saying anything as extreme as the Euro will happen, but I think the GFS is in its dead zone of losing the storm right now.

You guys around Orange County must have been closer to that snow/ice demarcation in that winter of 93-94. I got 95% snow from those series of storms in Saugerties, but I remember the city was having mostly ice. None of those storms were huge in a KU sense, but I think the biggest at my place was about 15 inches. I remember one crazy day where we had an overunning event and a cold high seeping low level cold down the HV. We had a snow event where it started snowing at like -8F in Saugerties and peaked at like 10-15F. SWF was also like 10F, but they actually had FZRA at least for awhile. NYC was an ice storm.

From what I have seen of the Euro - this is the dream scenario for the Lower/Mid Hudson Valley and nice for the Upper Valley also. It does have 2/1978 written on it somewhat and that was the best storm I was ever in while in the Mid Hudson Valley. My Dad worked at IBM POU and it took him about 4 hours to get the 20 miles up to near Kingston where he had to sleep on a guys floor. That was epic...love to see that again.

I'll up my estimate and say we are approaching 1 inch here now..where it doesn't blow away.... In my open areas it is just unreal with the intense wind and horizontal light to moderate snowfall. This is hard core winter at its best despite only minor snowfall. 14.5F. I just walked 400 feet back to the horses and they are tough...nosing around through the powder snow looking for hay or whatever..oblivious to the conditions, but they do have thick winter coats now.

16 here with light snow and wind. Heavy coating ...probably .3 or .4, though hard to tell when it is blowing horizontally. Echoes look better over toward the Upper Hudson Valley.

Some kind of feud among the powers that be..... Marcus pulled it down in a tiff with the others. Obviously plans had been afoot though because they had this new board up in very short order. Glad you made it here.... think we first crossed paths in the 90's on these boards and IRC. ..back when I was in Saugerties.... -1F here now in Knox.

The Catskills high peaks (meaning 3500'+) begin in central/western Ulster County...slightly below the latitude of Kingston for reference. They taper down a lot below Peekamoose and that southwest corner of Ulster County (IE where 52 crosses) is just hilly. Bigger mountains ...draw a line from New Paltz (in the HV) to Liberty and it's all north of that line. Of course you also have the Shawangunk Ridge which stands in the way....

Glad to see you guys cashed in a bit on this LES event. 5.3" cumulative up here...very enjoyable since I'd never get more than flurries from the lake when I lived in Saugerties. You folks in the Lower HV actually do better (on those rare occasions) than the Mid HV. I attribute that to the fact that you don't have the highest Catskills acting as a wall just to the west. From north of SWF to about Catskill/Hudson the mountains dry almost all of it up.

Snow is diminishing to flurries here now. LES that has been affecting us seems to be falling apart for now. 3 inches fell overnight though a lot will blow away in the fields here. 20F.

31 and windy here now. Laying water freezing up. Two cold days in a row (high of 30 yesterday and 37 today..at 8 am), but a lovely rain event in between.

Very nice. I think that batch won't really get here, but maybe overnight tonight it gets interesting. 29.7F here at 2 PM.

It's a brief shot, but feels wintry here today with a low of 21F earlier. I don't think we'll get out of the 30's today.

Glad to see all you HV guys found this new locale also. I think most people will find their way here because most of us use other social networking things like Facebook, etc. I found out on FB from a few guys. Dropping like a rock here after a day in the high 50s.... ...down to 34.
