2.6" on the board at 6:15am down here at just under 400' elevation. A grass measurement nets be anywhere from .5 to 1.5 more depending on which clump of grass I measure by LOL
Waiting might have cost you the max snow depth. I had 2.6” on the board when I measured at 6:15am it was 2.6” but down to 2.3” when I just came in, a mixed of snow, sleet, and rain here. 33/31
Over performer IMBY. I have to measure, and might have to get out my snow shovel again, wasn't expecting to have to shovel. I figured it would be a mostly grass/car topper event here.
I’d believe Pine Bush has snow, there are a bit further NW from me and have more elevation. I’m tucked in along the Wallkill River so marginal events are tough here. The flip side is sometimes I can hold onto the cold much longer in the dead of winter.
There was a midnight high of 46 here overnight but dropped into the 30s just before 6am and have been there ever since. 38/36 currently with occasional drizzle and mist.
The vegetation/woods are typically tinder dry this time of year until every thing greens up. That's why NY has the annual burn ban from March into May.
Agreed. There was a nice batch of rain out near Scranton but the bulk of it is going to my north, I just getting clipped by the southern edge. Time will tell what happens with that batch out in western PA.
Yeah, I still have plenty of mud that argues against D1, along with measured precipitation stats to back it up. That said, I do not know the metrics that the Drought Monitor uses. We'll see what happens after leaf out and with the future pattern.
I noticed that the past two months have had above normal precip so that got me to dig in a bit on the water year (starts Oct 1). Here are my numbers over that period:
Actual: 16.13"
KMGJ average: 18.22"
My average over 20 years: 20.24"
So we are below average in this neck of the woods but nothing crazy in todays climate.
.91 up here and a tremendous long lasting clap of rolling thunder around 10pm. It lasted so long I was questioning if it even thunder for a few seconds.
From this afternoons SPC update:
...Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast...
Model guidance indicates weak buoyancy across the Mid-Atlantic
states into the Northeast ahead of the cold front. Appreciable
heating has occurred through midday with temperatures rising through
the upper 70s deg F. Despite some mixing of boundary-layer
moisture, SBCAPE 500-1000 J/kg will support scattered storms
developing this afternoon. Steepened 0-2 km lapse rates and
moderate low to mid-level flow will probably yield scattered
damaging gusts later this afternoon into the evening (55-65 mph).
