Very similar here, just measured 3.1” on the board, we’ll see how much that compacts down. 4” on the ground though so I’ll go with that LOL

Just about 4" here. Nice wintry feel & great start to the season

Temp 31

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

2.2 today 2.5 for the season.
 

More importantly, to me anyway, 1 day and counting of snow cover, 50 more days to go to match last year.

This isn't going anywhere for several days. It was also nice to not have anyone mention sun angle even though this was a daytime event. 

[BxEngine]

Been 98% rain here for hours, but at least it started as snow lol

[Juliancolton]

Just starting to taper off now at 6.5", maybe that last band swings through and freshens it up a bit. I'm liking the new latitude so far

I’m a snowpack guy myself. I think we keep the grass covered for December

Saugerties, just off the Thruway. Kind of a different world despite not really being that far away

My grandparents lived there in the 80s and 90s. They always had big snows. You’re far enough west to avoid the R/S line for most borderline storms. It’s definitely not the same town as when I was young. It’s making a comeback with all the hipster aholes from Brooklyn.

If you guys want to change the laws for how state and federal funding get released, by all means run for office. Complaining here isnt going to fix the fake problem. It has literally nothing to do with whatever asshole is in office at the time. Its about $, not boy who cried wolf fake emergencies. Blame the news you choose to watch that doesnt explain that properly.

 

for the 100th time. Please for the love of god dont make it 101.

Somewhat surprised by your response. I don’t watch the news, and am fully aware this about money; but it doesn’t make it any less silly, especially to the normies. It’s truly becoming the “boy who cried wolf”. 

Noted for the future not to comment on this aspect. Cheers!

Yeah, if even that. It was funny to see cars coming down the hill from Woodstock the other day caked in snow while I was raining

Today’s precip melted down to .45”

[crossbowftw3]

Finished up right at 8”, largely within the 8 hour period from 7:15 AM to 3:15 PM.

 

With arctic shots incoming this pack will stay around a bit.

I remember that from my college days at New Paltz. I’d drive up with a clear car, cars on campus were clean with no snow on the ground there there would be a few cars that rolled in covered in snow.

Just happened to turn on The Weather Channel and Paul Goodlow was live from Poughkeepsie.

Had some snow squalls come through and whiten the ground.

A back edge additional dusting of snow. 31/29

Anyone wondering about the specific tag in this post and may have missed it, I think many of you will enjoy the fine work here:

Thanks, i never posted it in the NYC forums because i figured most would catch it in SNE and didn't want to be redundant. But yeah we got a whole Tri-State section and all the storms in the Winter Storm Archive have Tri-State Area snowfall maps included, as well as radar, sfc and upper air animations. 

I'm currently in the middle of the 95-96 season which should be done in the next couple weeks. I remember telling @LibertyBell that season would probably never happen but i decided to go back to 94-95 since i can get radar back to Jan 1 1995. 

I'm working on this past storm atm so if anyone has any reports let me know and ill include them. 

[IrishRob17]

@NorthShoreWx, and anyone else with knowledge, I need a ruling here. The snow changed to sleet, I measured 3.1" at that point, and then eventually a bit of freezing drizzle before stopping around Happy Hour when I cleared my board. Then in the evening I got some back edge snow showers and I had .1 on the board this morning. I believe that I count that, which would bring storm total to 3.2". Do you agree?

TLDR: Yes, that's what I would do.  

To my knowledge, but with low confidence, there is still the "greatest depth in 24 hours" thing. There's so much noise and conflicting guidance on the web, including between different NWS pages, that its near impossible for us mortals to be definitive. Plus, there's different standards for airports/ASOS sites and other users.  Not sure if COCORAHS, coops, mesonets, and spotters get the same guidance either.  And then there's the measure only at set times sites (cue cpcantmeasuresnow).  It's mayhem.

I've gone back to resetting at phase changes or between unusual events like separate snowfalls in the morning and evening.  Just seems like common sense to me.  Otherwise, I do wipe the board at midnight (once per day).

I'm amenable to updating my methodology if someone can convincingly show that I'm not doing it correctly.

Thank you so much.  For a long time I had been trying to figure out when it was that I had about a 3 footer and thanks to your work I was able to figure it out even though the map for the event only shows 2 feet.

@The 4 Seasons as a result of the above I'm going with 3.2" total for yesterday. That said, ay insight you can bring to this conversation is appreciated.

A lifelong battle against incompetence. It shouldn't be this hard, we do it.

I'm in Croton-on-Hudson and while I wasn't measuring at the time, there was definitely about 3 feet at my house.
