As always it depends on where in the forum you’re talking about. It’s a pretty diverse area winter weather wise. For NYC you only have to go back to 2017 and 2018 for substantial March storms and in the case of 2018 a significant April snowfall in the city proper. In 2017 Central Park had 7.6 inches on March 14 and in 2018 there was 8.4 inches on March 21 and 5.5 inches on April 2nd. For March 2017 and March 2018 we in the northern suburbs, Orange County in My case, had over 20 inches from both the March 14 2017 event and the March 7 2018 event in which the Park only had 3.2 inches. I realize March is fickle especially on the coastal plain, but we don’t have to go back that far for the last substantial March storms.

Yes but what people always forget is next week we get the extra hour of daylight, I believe it was Julian who made this point last week, and to make it worse it happens in the afternoon when the sun is highest in the sky. Forget about any accumulating snow after that, it’s basically impossible, the sun angle people always win in the end. I’ve always been curious how we manipulate the Earths axis to make that happen. Will have to research Kyrie Irving’s flat Earth thesis to see his thoughts.

But also highly unlikely. They recorded .26 inches of liquid from midnight to 6 Am and the temperature was 32-33 with snow the entire time, and somehow that translated to 0.9 inches of snow? I’m sure it was closer to 1.5 to 2.0 inches but it’s par for the course in the very long history of under measuring by the incompetents at the Park.

Since they received 1.8 inches from the same storm but just 0.9 inches before and after midnight this will make this another in a line of very questionable records. But I’m sure TWC will play it up to the max.

To translate, you are the Central Park zookeeper of the Hudson Valley and you can’t be bothered with measuring the smaller events and that’s why you’re not in double digits.

For the season or for Tuesday? I think most in our area are at least double digits for the season. Also remember sleet does count as snow totals.

On my TWC for Highland Mills I see 47 for tomorrow and Monday and nothing above 43 for the 10 days after that. Your south shore bias coming into play.

What's everyone's seasonal totals at? I'm at 16.2 which is my record low for a season if it held. Pretty certain we will get at least a few more minor events.

Not in this sub forum, maybe the coastal Plain?

32 and light snow now that most of precip has ended. Went back and forth with precip all night and ended with a net 0. The story of this Winter. 16.2 still for the season, about as bad as it can get around here. I’m ready for it to end.

Plus that -113 to your northwest means business. Build a fire, it worked in the day after tomorrow.

Again as always it depends where you are in the forum. March 2018 and early April was fantastic here in 2018. Many here saw 40-50 inches of snow during that period.

I know the impact was far beyond the snowfall amounts in NYC for that storm, but the 10.6 inches recorded doesn’t even place it in NYC’s Top 50 snowstorms, for inches fallen, of all time.

Definitely a big dent was made today on what was 7.3 inches of snowpack on Tuesday. 2 inches left with some bare spots in the usual places.

I'd have to go with bad. Of course this time of year, when according to some the sun angle can roast a medium sized turkey in under an hour, it's even worse.

For the Metro Forum Which seems to continually get further and further south of New York City which other than Walt completely ignore the north it’s totally a nonevent. As Julian alluded to it still holds some interest for us but more and more limited the further south from 84 you go. i’ve never quite understood why the New York City forum caters so much to the south and central jersey, Philadelphia and other regions south. There’s a Philadelphia Metro forum which encompasses south and central Jersey and there’s a separate mid Atlantic forum, yet the New York City forum seems to be more and more encompassing all of them. I think it’s time for anywhere 40 miles north and north east of the city to be annexed by the New England forum. We certainly have a lot more in common with their weather than New York City, LI and the coastal plain and western Long Island. Northeastern Long Island and the northshore probably has more in common with the southern New England crew. Just random thoughts on a mild foggy day where I’m losing much of what was a 7 1/2 inch snowpack a couple of days ago.

Trust me you’re talking to the guy that knows this story too well. I’ve had a weather forum name for over 20 years honoring their incompetence.

Do you do the same for the high records? I believe LaGuardia recorded 81 or so inches in 1995/96, I’m sure Don or Chris could give us the exact figure, yet the 75.6 at Central Park the same season is considered the all time record. You can’t have one without the other. No offense intended, because there isn’t any, but of course no one cares what number you’re going with LOL.

They’re not safe. NYC stands at 2.2 inches officially, even though areas of the Bronx received over 5 inches from yesterdays storm. The record low is 2.8. Still achievable, if one would call that an achievement. Especially the way the doofus at Central Park often under measure or don’t measure small events.

Central Park observations after midnight recorded 0.26 inches liquid with snow the entire time and temperatures 32-33 degrees. Anything less than 2.0 inches after midnight will be very suspect. Combined with the 0.9 inches of snow recorded before midnight the storm total should be at least 2.9 inches, probably closer to 3.5. They will find a way to F it up and under measure, they usually do.

What do you consider far interior? I had 7.3 inches as of 7 am and it’s still snowing lightly. I’m in Orange County 50 miles north of Central Park.

I doubt it. They may report that but from the observations after midnight there is no possible way only 0.4 inches of snow fell in Central Park after midnight.

7.3 inches on the board, about what was expected although I had my doubts. Seasonal total 16.2, still a solid F- 26.6 and light snow.

7.3 inches in Highland Mills Orange County. 16.2 now for the season. 26.6 and light snow.

3.8 inches highland mills NY, 30 miles due west of Danbury. 29.1 and snowing moderate to heavy. Finally over a foot for the season. Pathetic.
