Someone here can feel this pain LOL. Could be worse. My wife is the zookeeper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max error in either direction < 0.1". I may be a measuring wonk, but I have my limits. I didn't put the boards out because I didn't want to disappoint the neighbors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If others measured the liquid as well I might be able to back into a better guess when I figured out their ratios after I get my liquid total. Blah, blah, blah.

eduggs Posted Tuesday at 08:11 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:11 PM Driving through the Hudson Highlands today I observed a couple inches in New Windsor, Cornwall, Newburgh, Cold Spring, Fishkill, and Garrison. In Beacon there was absolutely nothing - just bare, wet ground. Elevations were roughly comparable - all less than 300ft. I've never seen that kind of disparity between Beacon and other river towns before. It must have been some kind of meso-effect with Mt. Beacon or the wind direction off the slightly warm Hudson River... plus being right on the edge of the main band... but that doesn't explain Fishkill to the east having snow. Fascinating... Congrats to those who scored today! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted Tuesday at 08:55 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:55 PM An interesting storm. I ended up with 3.2 inches here about half that fell in the hour and a quarter I got into the heavy band. I measured 3.2 inches at 10 o'clock. At noon it had settled and compressed and probably melted a bit down to 2.6. One last good band came through and at 1 o'clock I was back to 3.2. Under old methods that would be recorded as 3.8 inches but now it's a 3.2, maximum depth at any point during the day. At least until they change the rules again. Personally I preferred the clearing of the snowboard every six hours, or when precip has stopped on changed. To me that gave the most accurate measurement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the Newburgh riverfront doesn't do too well either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishkill is only 50ft higher than Beacon and maybe 4 miles northeast and there was a few inches there too. Snow disappeared across 1 mile of horizontal distance while driving at a constant elevation. I've never seen that in this particular area before. The snow level on the Beacon side of Mt. Beacon was about 400ft - 500ft. South and west of Beacon there was snow right to the river level. It was just weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:23 PM I didn't get past 2" at any point but it snowed for hours without the depth changing. I'll be curious to see some liquid equivalents around me. Mega foggy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to go with 3.2” as well, which is what the wife measured at noon. I’m sure it was higher but I can’t verify that, melted to .23 although that includes some drizzle this afternoon.

wishcast_hater Posted yesterday at 12:52 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:52 AM Daily commute back from NYC was interesting. No snow until Yonkers then further north the more snow there was. Peak snow was between Pudding Street Exit and Cold Spring Exit. Snow all the way until 84 then practically nothing until Sylvan Lake exit and it started picking up again further North. Didn’t look like much at my exit RT 82 until I got to my house which is 720’ up then plowable snow. My father said we got about 3 before it started melting/compacting. .

crossbowftw3 Posted yesterday at 01:46 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:46 PM Ended the storm with plenty of areas around here ending up with 6-8”. Second big overperformer storm of the past two winters, and I push past 20” for the season. Onto Friday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted yesterday at 03:24 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:24 PM @wishcast_hater it was all about the elevation here on the east side too. I went over to Brookfield CT and as I dropped below about 500 it was just white rain. I don't like the trajectory for the Friday night event. Talk about 20 miles making a big difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can take the “just pushed over 20” and change it to “can push close to 30””. And again, not even January yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Not an official white Christmas here (leas than 1" at my stake) but everyone is saying it's nice to have another white Christmas so that's all that matters.

gravitylover Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Most of my property torched off yesterday but it's full cover across the street so if I squint when I look out the window it's a white Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas one and all! I've been debating this one. I'm calling it a white Christmas as of 7am observation, and I believe official time to declare a white Christmas or not. If I did it as of right now it's 50-50. Anyway it was much better last year with a 4 1/2 inch snowpack Christmas morning that had been freshened up on Christmas Eve with the inch and a half that fell that morning, but I digress. Merry Christmas North and West and northeast people, where our best winters start around Thanksgiving and begrudgingly leave us in late March. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
