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.

Definitely looking much better for our area, but there is a sharp gradient (as you would expect) from Northwest to Southeast... I would say the HV area is running between 1-1.75 running from NW to SE (more SE) (haven't looked that closely) but that is conservative. I think most of us in this thread in the lower/mid hudson valley, are in the 1.5 range.

I will try and post in both forums in future runs, now that we are heading into crunch time!

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.

Hope the winds take it your way. Snow machine effect snows.

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.

30 and -SN - Dusting on cars and surfaces here... Maybe we can pick up a light coating overnight?

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.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm here!

What happened to the old board?

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....

Whenever we have some sort of NW flow our potential LE snows dry up around the Sullivan/Ulster county border.. If im not mistaken majority of the 4k peaks of the Catskills are located there.. ie. Slide Mtn..

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.

Hey guys Finally found my way over here.

Yesterday morning was fun eh! I got about a half inch in just a few minutes and the roads went to ****. Of course I had the winter tires all ready to go on the car but couldn't find the right lug nuts for those wheels so I went slip sliding away to work. Managed to steer through a bunch of spinouts on Rt 6 on the way out. Welcome to another HV winter!

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.

I had the lightest of dustings on my car at home but as I drove into Middletown early this morning there was a decent coating with a few fender benders.

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.

Close to the same here, .45 and 45 here now too.

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

Its snowing.. Lgt snow has commenced here with a temp of 35*

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.

Yep, we are gettting there which reminds me to change the oil in the snow blower soon

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.

High of 59.8 today. Hopefully last yard clean-up tomorrow......A few of my oaks are reluctant to fully shed there leaves.
