    Just ending here W of Middletown. It's like islands of winter within a broader Fall pattern. Looks like that's the norm we're heading for. Occasional big storms with long stretches of bare ground. I was never a "snowpack" guy because I always had one. Now, I've become one too late.

    Watched the SE trend across ALL models. Saw the HRRR about 1115 last nite. Middletown/NW Orange Co was deader than dead. Up at 8--What a surprise !

    My snow light west of Middletown is an exquisitely precise meteorological instrument. Assessment: lot a snow in short time.

    Hoping to fan the flames of enthusiasm for 6 inches NW this Saturday... Here is snow in NY- Took this of my friend looking at Mt Marcy right before New Years Eve.

    Probably bust -- snow mixing in last half hour just NW Middletown at 750 ft. Temp has dropped from 38 to 34 in 3 1/2 hours (Wunderground station nearby). Snow appearing a bit earlier than the 11 pm forecast by nws. We may still get 6 inches up here, which wouldn't be a bust for noaa's recent call.

    Seeing the NW thread red, clicking on it and finding a lengthy leaf discussion ---All part of the fun of a lively (and botanically sensitive) weather forum...

    About 2300 ft. I did saturate the blue a bit.

    Snowing moderately just NW of Middletown. NOAA said flip over to snow supposed to be around 10-- flipped at about 7 PM. About 1/2 inch (?).

    Sounds correct. Denali in winter, at 20,000 ft, gets the winds well over 100 mph, plus further north. The book "Minus 148" by Art Davidson describes the first winter ascent of Denali in 1967. Did they have accurate means of temp measurement ? -- doubtful. Was it colder than Mt Washington tonite ? Almost certainly. Art and 2 others had to stay in a snow cave they dug at 18000 ft for 3 days until 150 mph winds subsided.

    Some get refreshed by cola, others by beer. Good to have diverse viewpoints. But there is objective predicting, then there is cheerleading against the collective sentiments of a snow enthusiast group.
