A sad day for all, but I'm calling an end to the consecutive days with snow cover streak today at 41 consecutive days. Maybe 50% coverage right now but by tomorrow it should be just the piles and deep shaded areas. It wasn't an impressive streak for depth or even quality of the snow cover through most of the days but at least it made most of January and the first half of February look like Winter. Add in the slightly below average temperatures for the period which are becoming harder and harder to achieve in our current new winter environment and I can at least say I've had 6 weeks of winter. It's also 2 days since I've blocked Nostranus19 and yet I still see his posts on so many other quotes I'm wondering what the point was. A symbolic gesture at best I suppose.

Before 1993 the last 10 inch plus storm in March in NYC was March 3-4 1960 14.5 inches. There have been 67 storms of 10 inches or more in NYC since records have been kept the last 153 years. Here's the breakdown by month. No. Pct of total 10 + inch snows 1 1.5% November 13 19.4% December 16 23.9% January 26 38.8% February 9 13.4% March 2 3.0% April 67 100.0% Total

It depends what everyone's expectations of warm is. To expect constant 60's in March is so far from the norms it would be unhealthy. Even in NYC the average highs don't reach the mid 60's until late in April.

No that won't do it for me.

Or the whole month of March 2018 (43.4 inches with another 6.4 in April) with the March 7 2018 repeat.

10° for the low this morning. I'm guessing the consecutive days with snow cover will end on Friday at 42 days, an impressive streak for a period that only saw near normal snowfall during the period, 23.9 inches, where I am. The often talked about Torch looks to be short lived and sporadic, already the end of February looking like back to normal. It would be nice if the last week of February to the last week of March could produce a nice snowy pattern for the HV, if it does I'll be ready for spring by April 1.

Nope, not worth my time, but I guess in a way I just did. I erased it right after reading it and just blocked him immediately after. He's just not worth the 20 seconds a day I use to waste reading his drivel.

Don't under estimate his private messages either. I don't think he's limited there, and they can be quite nasty, and I'll leave it at that.

I often wish there were “find a new hobby instead of stalking people that like snow”emojis on here, but certainly no one person in particular in mind. I’m just throwing out random suggestions.

I never realized they recorded 14 inches for the Jan 96 blizzard. And I thought Central Parks 20.2 for that event was horrendous, most agree that was 24-27 easily. That Bridgeport report is just egregious.

For the most part yes. Even Central Park received almost 3 inches despite reporting 1.6, but that's par for the course as they revert back this year to the old days of under measuring.

And remember when you told everyone the max snowfall for Sunday would be 1 inch and everyone in the forum received 3-5 inches. Well except for the one inch you claim to have received.

4° for the low this morning. Consecutive days of snow cover now at 40, although a much better looking snow cover now after the 4 inch refresher on Sunday morning. Impressive for a winter that has only seen 25.9 inches of snow up here so far.

They all F up once in a while which you can forgive. The Parks 1.6 yesterday underdone again for the fourth time this season. Looks like they're reverting back to the Zookeeper days. Hoping they fix it before they scroo up another historic storm.

1.6 inches in Central Park as reported by God knows who. They are back to their old ways in the Park this year, this is the fourth storm of the winter they are continually giving low numbers. From all observations I've seen the number should have been about 2.5. I don't know why after all these years it still drives me crazy but it does.

According to the latest guidelines you take the maximum depth of the snow that fell during the calendar day. And yes to the snowboard as i see Julian already mentiomed.

4.0 inches even in Orange County, Highland Mills. It's just crazy how Suffern has almost 4 inches and Monroe 4 inches but right in between the two a mere 7-8 miles away from both Snowman19 got an inch, which he predicted all week would be the max. You have to give the guy credit for always being right, or never admitting to being wrong. Amazing.

4.0 inches on the nose. 26° and light snow continues. A very pleasant surprise.

Maybe someone can verify this for me, but according to my records the 8.3 inches of snow recorded in Central Park from the January 28-29 storm becomes the 100th storm of 8.3 inches or more in NYC since records have been officially kept since 1869.

27° moderate snow continues. Haven't officially gone out to measure yet and still had a couple inches otg so will have to venture out soon to see how much new snow has fallen on the board. Looks like it may be 2+ inches already but since I was expecting 0 still wondering if my eyes deceive me. WWA for 2-3 inches in Orange, Rockland, Putnam and Westchester. Love surprises like this.

by CPcantmeasuresnow The snowpack survived this week but there are a few bare spots now in the usual areas but still 75% coverage. Amazing how 4-5 inches of solid ice and snow held up to the onslaught of sun and 50 for four days. A fresh unbattle tested 5 inches of powder would not have lasted a day. So the streak lives on but on life support. 37 straight days and counting.

The term upstate in NY seems to be used by everyone in the state to refer to the area north of them. I’m in Orange County and in no way do I consider this upstate. Geographically Albany is the middle latitudes of the state. Binghamton is the southern tier of NY. Of course since 80% Of the residence live below the Tappanzee Bridge everything above seems to somehow become upstate to most people. And yes I said the TAPPAN ZEE bridge. Enough said.

We welcome everyone in Orange County and you stated our case beautifully. I’ve had only 22 inches of snow this winter so far, which is below normal, yet I’ve had a solid snow cover for 33 straight days and counting. That may end by Friday or Saturday but still a decent run. And we still do well on most coastals. Just need inside the benchmark in most cases to jackpot, instead of on or outside it.

17° and the snow pack lives on. 33 straight days and counting. It will be interesting to see if this snow, ice, and sleet encrusted block of snow and ice can make it through 3-4 days of highs in the 40's. My money is on the snow pack.

22.6° pretty much sleet now and even the first few flakes of the day. This is the worst accretion of ice I've seen in a long time. Usually I try to block these out so I can't even think of the last time we had this much. The only positive, it does have a magical look. At least until I inevitably lose power.
