31.8° and rain/freezing rain

31.8° and rain/freezing rain. Pretty much sums up what so far has been an extended fall.

Woodbury Common is 3-4 miles away, walmart, target, BJ's etc all within 3-4 miles no problem there. The parks, town pool, and lake are outstanding for kids for summer. Plenty of resturants too. Both school systems, Monroe and Cornwall top notch.

A lot has changed. Now we're consistently getting 30's and rain, instead of 40's, which makes this season, formally known as Winter, even more frustrating.Expecting more of the same this Sunday and Wednesday.

As a snow nut I'm going to make your life easy. Move to Highland Mills in Eastern Orange County. You will be in the Cornwall or Monroe school district, you're far enough east to catch the brunt of most major NorEasters and more importantly the elevation of most areas of the town are 550 to 900 feet. Try to avoid the river towns along the Hudson where the elevation is a paltry 150-250 feet, you can get burned in these towns on borderline events. I'm averaging 53 inches per year here, and more importantly the snow sticks around most winters, present winter not included.

When does it have to be returned?

A little disappointed here in Highland Mills, 2.6 inches will do it, we usually do a little better in these type setups.

43°-44° through most of the precip last night. It would be interesting to see what this setup in Mid to Late November could be.

A Saturday of light jacket weather followed by two mornings of mid 40’s. My kind of late June.

Similar story here. Dropped to 34.3 and had some big flakes, rain and sleet for a bit, back to 35.6 now and mostly rain. So close, yet so far.

It was chilling as the news spread throughout school. You couldn’t really believe it happened like you were hearing it. Remember no cell phones, internet or social media of any kind. Just your young mind trying to process what seemed unthinkable.

The bigger question is why bother to go to Maine at all. New England Does such a great winter sell on their climate people seem to forget most of upstate New York gets more snow and it’s colder too in many places, the Adirondacks for one. Also we need to stop referring to New York State as the middle Atlantic, it’s just geographically idiotic.

That is criminal. This seems to happen a lot where you are. Is this something unique to just this season or is the area you live seem to be, for lack of a better description, somewhat of a snow hole in the area?

What were totals like around the area? Maybe I missed people posting them before but I haven’t really seen any. Can’t get outside today but I saw a trained spotter in Monroe post 4 1/2 inches at 1:30 today. It’s only about seven or 8 miles from me so I’m assuming I’m similar and from the looks outside that looks about right.

Back under a heavy band but unless it just sits there won’t be under it for long.

Son of a bitch, You can already see it. Thought we were going to snow heavily till 2 o’clock looks like we have maybe another hour at most, at least where I am. Just the story of this winter. For now 30° and heavy snow. Under the weather today so no official measurements but there has to be at least 3 inches so far.

32.8 and from the visibility I would call it heavy snow flicks a pretty small though well it’s already covering up everything. Road driveway grass all covered. And it didn’t start snowing till a little after nine. Should be an interesting next four hours

The way the storm is approaching it’s really more of an east west rather north south thing. Eastern Connecticut Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island Pretty much gets shut out from snow.

I believe it was Julian that said earlier today that he thought there would be a stripe of almost a foot from Warwick to Pittsfield. That pretty much is in line with what the 12 km name is showing now. And it’s not even the Kuchera.

Stop bantering with him, it’s what he craves. He’s a predator that feeds off of hate, a sad way to live life.

Last year NYChad snow cover for 25 consecutive days after the February 1 storm. To paint it as a rarity to have snow on the ground for over a week in an entire winter Is just bad information. Granted the three winters before 2020/21 were horrible for snow cover in city. Remember snow cover is also calculated in the Park, most cities don’t keep much snow cover on their sidewalks.

Changed to heavy snow early Christmas morning in Orange County. Snowed all day ended up with 15.5 inches. Best Christmas ever.

You do realize even way up there in eastern Labrador and all of New Foundland it’s going to be almost all rain. Yeah I’ll pass on that.

The official Central Park measurement for Jan 96 storm was 20.2 inches which makes it even worse. Newark was 28 and LaGuardia 24 yet right in between the two 20.2 Sure it can happen that way but it didn’t, the real total was 24-26 as you stated. Many other examples like this, Boxing Day a similar under measurement. Like I said earlier don’t get me started.

2.8 inches for this one. 30.7 for the season. Overall a fairly crappy winter.
