I figured id get some comments from orange county folks. I had to almost completely guess over there as there were hardly any reports. I can add your 0.4 and if I could get more from the other Orange country posters that would help

I received 11.2 from that storm. Just far enough south to catch the north end of a few heavy bands but to far north to stay in them and missed out on the 25-30 inch amounts just to the south.

Yeah, crazy! I don't think there were many northern Orange County official reports out of frustration with that storm LOL. Albany's map for that storm comes close to showing how the cutoff went. You can see in this satellite shot from their page that I'm was in the black hole.

The PNS has 11.6 for Highland Mills, i am assuming that was you. I have it on the map. Are you sure about 11.2?

No not me.

I doubled checked and I recorded 11.2 from that storm. Elevations in Highland Mills run from 450 to 900 feet. I'd just stick with the 11.6 report a half inch variation in town is pretty common depending where in town you reside.

Yeah that is a very close measurement for a storm like that with wind and moderate to long duration.. that's kind of why I assumed it was you. 

You can get variations of 3-4" in a storm like this in the same town if one person is just taking the average depth at the end and someone else is doing 6hrly clearing and both are valid. So i was surprised to see it so close.
