This reeks of collusion.

2.8 inches here, brings me to 49.8 for the season or right about seasonal norm. After last years 22 inch disaster of a winter we deserve this.

Went back to moderate snow for a bit but now back to light snow, 2.0 inches even now., about 10 miles south of 84.

Highland Mills in Orange County 1.8 inches and the snow has become light flurries. Temperature 20.3°. Most models had it snowing here until early afternoon with about 4 inches expected. Oh well seasonal total now 48.8 inches which is right near the seasonal average. IT looks like the train of storms for the next week may have fallen off the tracks into a deep canyon. I'm not sure anyone survived.

Highland Mills in Orange County 1.8 inches and the snow has become light flurries. Temperature 20.3°. If this is it models were pretty bad with this. Most had it snowing here until early afternoon with about 4 inches expected.

Highland Mills in Orange County, steady snow, borderline moderate 1.2 inches so far.

The 0Z 3k NAM. it's consistent with the bullseye over the HV.

This mornings GFS very aggressive with the HV for tomorrows storm. The 6 inches seems overdone, but in this current pattern maybe not. When it wants to snow in your area you run with it as long as you can.

In the last ten days he has called winter over, declared no one would see 20 inches of snow from Mondays storm, and said todays storm was a typical 1-3 inch event. Strike three.

2.1 inches for the storm, 18 inches OTG and 47 inches even for the season, no complaints, it's beautiful out there. Hopefully we add more this week. Lots of chances but no guarantees.

3.0 inches at Central Park at 1:00 PM. For anyone in that area, does that sound about right?

Light snow and 26.2° and 1.2 inches storm total as of an hour ago, and I doubt I added more than 0.1 or 0.2 since. 17 inches of compressed snow pack OTG now that's not going anywhere for awhile. I'm okay with today.

Now that had be a rough day for the snow pack in Poughkeepsie.

Not that the comment wasn't bad enough, but if memory serves the story was about a 13 year old girl. Mind boggling, what was he thinking? You can only blame the alcohol to a point.

i have to agree. There's very few storms that cover both extremes with snow. When it rains in SENJ and Montauk I'm happy, but I'm ashamed of my happiness,

That is overkill, 8 months would be fine. A solid October to May winter, followed by Spring in June, a nice July & August summer, and fall in September. Which somewhat describes the high country of the Adirondacks, heaven on Earth.

How far SE?

Well in 4 of the last 6 winters in NYC March has been the snowiest month. I doubt that happens again this year but who knows, one Blizzard of 88 redux and it's 5 of the last 7. BTW from March 2 to April 2 2018 I had 50 inches of snow and snow cover the whole time. Why wouldn't I want that again? I think some of you need to have your snow loving credentials checked.

You and many others on this forum, I’m guessing people in their 40’s because it’s your childhood memories of winter, seem to pick the 1980’s as if they were representative of an average NYC winter. In the 15 decades of record keeping in NYC the 1980’s is last in snowfall, and as anomalous of an average winter as we’ve ever seen. My first memoirs are the 1960’s which were cold and snowy, a great time to be a little kid. A white Christmas was almost a guarantee then especially where I grew up in the HV. Yes the last two decades were a couple of inches, three to be exact, above NYC’s 152 year average of 29 inches. Contrast that to the 1970’s and 1980’s which were the least snowiest decades ever recorded. They were each barely above a 20 inch average, almost 9 inches below the historical norm.

That sounds about right, I had 27.9 inches and my current snow depth is 22 inches.

Good point they may have been. I was only half listening as i often do when I have them on. I didn’t even realize this made top ten for a calendar day.

I'm not complaining about the measurement at Central Park just nitpicking. As someone who has followed this for many decades, if this same storm happened while the Central Park Zookeeper was taking measurements this would have come in at 13.5 inches or some ridiculous figure like that, and everyone at the NWS and local mets would have known it was wrong, but they would have logged it, accepted it and reported it as fact. That's why I'm grateful for the Conservancy, they're not perfect but their so much better than what was.

That's warmacist groundhogs.

Does this mean an early spring?
