So I fell snow blowing at 5am trying to keep ahead of the snow! Just home from the ER fractured T12! This is NOT my 1st rodeo- be safe out there!! Northern eastern most Westchester, might be as well be CT, 600’, 27° can’t measure but it’s a sh*t ton!

Same for the ticks! Last winter was cold and less snowy and the ticks were brutal!

Northern Westchester along the CT border Sleet snow mix mostly sleet 11” 15°

N. Westchester- 1+” otg at 6°

Currently 33° and rain in northern Westchester- started as sleet and freezing rain

First morning with ice on the small pond low of 28°

3.25”+ (power glitch reset my my gauge - I had seen 0.25 and now at 3.02”) eastern most Westchester

That has not been my experience- we’ve lost almost all our ash in the last 10 years and now beech leaf disease is killing all the beech!

As long as we’re posting stuff that nobody cares about I’ll go- I live in Vista, NY in the point of Westchester that juts into CT. If you’ve ever been to Vista you might wonder why the name if there is no view in Vista? This area was almost completely deforested in the 1700 and 1800’s for dairy farms for NYC and the view to Long Island and the Sound was said to be spectacular. People would travel to take in the view and picnic hence the name. Around the turn of the 20th century the dairy farms were gone and the trees grew. So why post this on a weather board? Our trees are all the same age 100+ years and it doesn’t take much to cause havoc -multi day power outages: 4 days Irene, 6 snowtober, and 9 for Sandy! So away from the coast it still matters.

35° in Westchester-might-as-well-be-CT

BLD on top of the recent loss of the ash trees is just heart breaking. At least they working on the American chestnut!

Same in northern Westchester!

I pulled 5 dog ticks off my dog after being in the back yard only and found one on a jug of pool chemicals- just crazy for July!!!

Visiting my son in the Princeton area on Saturday- with 77° forecasted. Diving to my daughters in Maine on Sunday and a forecast 7” of snow and ice!

That front last night was no joke!
