I think the combination of the lp forming alittle further SE of initial thoughts and some downsloping off the gunks created the lower totals on this side. It does look like the best banding was on the east side of the county. That area can really cash in on upslope off the Hudson Highlands. Wicked variations of totals on this side of the county though. Im at 850' and finished in the 2.3"-2.5" range. You can literally go down below 800' and there is very little to anything. I took a 5 min drive to my NW in Otisville and found many spots with elevations 1200' or so and measured 4-5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow shades of two years ago, November 26 2014 when we received 9 inches the night before Thanksgiving and the coast was shut out. Hopefully this is a sign we're reverting back to the winter of 2014/15 anything to wipe out the nightmare of last winter. My folks are on Ridge Rd in Highland Mills roughly 900' and say they have about 5" otg. Nice overperformer for those on that side of the county aka the snowbelt of the tristate lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snywx Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 General 3-5" for those either with elevation or those fortunate enough to be under the heavier bands.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the brutal cold throughout and the staying power of the snowpack. One of my favs thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they have a co-op observer report of 6.7" from Highland Lakes. That report also tops their list. I don't think they realize that every 100' counted with this and if that report came from someone at 1100' its very possible you being 300' higher can have 8-9" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you mentioned earlier though, elevation isn't the only factor, it's where the heavier bands set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the heavier rates your elevation alone would have just given you slush but if you factor in being in a heavier band with elevation chances are you do well last night.

The NWS request snow totals or other weather data from public, I have historically provided this and other data when I was able too. Every company/organization has numbers they need to meet or hit, ie, forecasting accuracy. Most people/companies don't want to be wrong in their trade. I have never seen a co-op observer reported in Highland Lakes. This may be new, so I will keep an eye on the storm reporting. If the Highland Lakes co-op oberserver does not continue to pop op each weather reporting cycle, then this gets strange. I got very little plain rain with this event and not much sleet overall. We got mauled for around 3 hours from around 12:30-3:30 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even down here at around 400 feet of looks like 1-2" out there, I'll measure a little later, temp at 33. I can hear the slushy snow fall off the trees and landing on the roof from time to time, I can only imagine that in a tent.., Funny you should say that. I shot this in the tent around 11:45 when it was sleeting heavily in a strong wind. With the volume up it almost does justice to the way the whole night went.
