  1. 10.3 inches here should do it. 28.8 now for the season. Great storm but stating the obvious, if this happened in January or February at 5 degrees colder it’s a 20 inch plus easy. Reiterating Gravity’s point, I measured 10.3 on the board when snow letup a little after three, and just checked and the board now has 9 inches. I think this might have been 15 if it all came at night. I will never mock the March sun angle people again. Now the ones that start that crap in early February I’ll always mock.
  2. Looks like 10.3 inches will do it here. Brings my seasonal total to 28.8. Great storm up here 50 miles NNW of Central Park at 600 feet elevation, but this Winter is still a rock solid F and no Mid or late March or even April storms will undo that.
  3. 10.2 inches here but intensity way down the last half hour. Unless another band comes through I probably won’t make it to a foot but no complaints.
  4. I would think by 5 pm the effect will be negligible. The problem is will these bands be around by then? Over 9 inches here now, 2 inches in the last hour sitting underneath the band over the Hudson and Eastern Orange County.
  5. 31.3 and heaviest rates of the day by far. Easily 2 inch per hour right now. 8 inches otg should easily make 10 now.
  6. Heaviest snow rates so far. Easily two inch per hour right now. Hope I can stay in this awhile. 8 inches otg. 31.3 and heavy snow.
  7. 6.2 inches at 11 am in Highland Mills Orange County. 31.1 and moderate snow. Intensity down somewhat the last half hour.
  8. 6.2 inches as of 11 am so exactly one inch in the last hour. 31.1 still where it’s been all morning. Moderate snow continues. Double digits may be attainable?
  9. 5.2 inches in Highland Mills so only added 0.7 since 7:30 dryslotted to light snow much of that time. Borderline heavy again in the last 15 minutes at 31.1 and holding. Will snowblow at 11 and see what this hour brings totals wise.
  10. 31.1 and snow very light now as dry slot moves in. This storm will torture you even when it does snow. 5.0 inches on the ground.
  11. 4.5 inches otg as of 7:30 31.1° and moderate snow 30 miles west of Danbury
  12. 31.1° moderate to occasionally heavy snow continues. 4.5 inches as of 7:30 am. I'm 12 miles south of I84 in Highland Mills, I had heard rumors that a very credible source declared that this was a north of I84 storm only. I'm sure he wasn't wrong so I can only assume I'm still asleep.
  13. 31.1° and steady moderate snow continues, everything encased in white. 4.5 inches as of 7:30. They plowed roads here overnight.
  14. 31.6° moderate to occasionally heavy snow, maybe an inch on grass the last hour, just starting to stick to roads. Changed to snow about 11 when it hit 34.0°, seems to have steadied now between 31.4° to 31.8°. Highland Mills NY elevation 600 feet, 35 miles due west of Danbury.
  15. 31.6° moderate snow. Sticking to everything now, roads even getting a light coating.
  16. 31.8° and moderate snow, 600 feet asl, Highland Mills. Sticking to everything except roads. Have been dropping steadily all evening, but more so the last hour. Went from 34.3° at 11 when the change began and 80 minutes later I've dropped another 2.5° to current reading. I don't want to get my hopes up but
  17. 33.8 and mostly snow now in Highalnd Mills, 600 asl.
  18. What’s the temperature there? I’m at 34.5 and have barely seen a flake mixed in. Precip somewhat light here.
  19. 36.3 and wet rain. Winter storm warning still in Orange County for 6-12. Sure that’s happening.
  20. The latest Euro run certainly bears that hope out. I think I'm just suffering from weekend model hangover and need rest to see this thing out until the end.
  21. You started to get the sense on Saturday that this was not going to be one to two to three feet of snow in our area that many of the models, Euro, NAM, UKIE, even a couple of CMC runs, were outputting. I wish there was a way to punish them all for stupidity, especially the Euro and NAM but would that really bring the storm back? We expect stupidity from the NAM and everyone ignores it accordingly, the Euro should just be taken out back and put out of its misery. The more modest forecast amounts now, 4-12 in the WSW for Orange County, was always in the range I assumed would actually happen but on the higher end of that range. I'm now convinced, at least where I am at 600 feet elevation 4 miles north of Woodbury Common, that even 4 inches will be tough to achieve. Part of me, even though I love snow, is now hoping this is a total failure snow wise. Why not remember this Winter that never was as the epic failure that it should be remembered as. Let's go out with a gang buster of a bust and wake up Wednesday morning with a half inch of backend slush. It's the only way for this miserable season that wasn't to end.. Sitting at 18.5 inches for the season and need less than 4.5 inches from this storm to keep my snowfall futility record for a season. Part of me hoping for that.
  22. Nope, it's fantasy. I wish it would happen, but it's in all likelihood not going to. I'm not even that optimistic where I live which is 50 miles NNW of Central Park. Hope I'm wrong.
  23. Since 1956 there have been 4 10 plus inch snowfalls in March in NYC. Near misses April 6 1982 with 9.6, March 22 1967 9.0 inches , March 21, 2018 8.4, March 2 2009 8.3, March 14 2017 7.6, March 5 2015 7.5. Most of these at 10 inches recorded somewhere within the city boundaries. It’s not as rare as everyone seems to believe. People have short memories.
  24. Washington DC and New York City Are different animals for winter and winter storms. It’s like comparing New York City and Boston.
