Exactly and the winter of 93-94 that I'm referring to had events like that. My record keeping wasn't very detailed back then but the biggest snowfall I have recorded that winter was 12", which happened twice. Otherwise it was a bunch of smaller events but they just kept coming along with the cold temps.

You summed up my feelings rather well. As I pointed out above I still have a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth from last winter too. To miss out on so many storms and then have the headaches of no water, heat, or electric for close to four days with the one big storm we got sucked. Not that I expect another storm like that but I think that I'll still feeling funny until I actually measure a decent powdery snowfall IMBY. Another thing that I didn't like about the Snowicane was that the snow didn't last very long because it was late in the season and warm after the storm. I love a nice snowpack, a deep snowpack would be a bonus, but I can't be picky. I just love when we have a snowcover for weeks on end, which doesn't happen often I realize. I was spoiled during the winter of 93-94. We had a snow pack from mid-late December all the way through March. I measured a 16-18" snowpack on St. Patrick's Day 1994. That was awesome but I don't know when I may see it again in Orange County. We had a great snowpack going in 95-96 too, about 3 feet before the rain storm came throguh in January and wiped it all out. In 95-96 we had more snowfall but 93-94 was a better winter overall for me because the snowpack stayed solid until spring.

This is a total selfish post but many of those storms locked in to our south and left us out. Then of course we had the Snowicane which was incredible but that storm was also an incredible pain in the ass for me personally and not all that enjoyable from about 11pm that Thursday night on thru that weekend. It's would be nice to get a decent dumping of powder but I guess we're all looking for that.

LOL! Yeah, crazy shifts all week. I do find some entertainment value whe nreading the various model threads with all the contradictions. More people should remember that it's better to be quiet and thought of as a fool rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt. You guys all know what I'm talking about because it's been going on for years. "It's more amped" "It's flat" "It's further east" "It's a tad west" "not as juicy" "This baby is loaded with moisture" 'It's a thread the needle situation" "game over" "match set point" "It's not over yet" "We'll see the change at 12z" "This is ouitside the accurate zone of the model" "This is when the model nails systems" You can find all of this posted all within about 10 minutes of each other during any of the model run threads>

Those days are done for me but thanks for remembering

Thanks. I just got a look at Tombo's map so I have a better idea now. I'm dreading another storm like 12/19/09 when I got 1 whole inch but that doesn't look like it's in the cards as of now anyway

Hey Raddars! I see you were just giving a breakdown on the Euro in the NYC forum. Things obviously have improved in the past 24 hours or so, how's it looking up our way? Sounds like we get in on at least some of the fun now?

Hey, glad to see that you made it over here!

Looks like about .50" here, a nice little surprise.

Oh the snow guns ate firing away again tonight. I just took a peak outside and see steady light snow and working on a coating now. Nice.

Just a dusting IMBY but the wind probably blew most of the snow away.

I got some freezing rain, a chunk of ice was screwing up my rain gauge this morning.

There was no doubt when the warm front came through, the temp jumped about 12 degrees, up to 55 now!

I was down to 25 at 11pm, I assume that they was a little icing overnight but I'm at 34 now which is fine by me, I would rather not deal with freezing rain.

Didn't make a coating over here but did manage a dusting. This combined with the falling snow made for a nice evening walking and looking at Christmas lights here in the park.

While I don't know much about them I find micro climates very interesting so I'm always looking for more information on them. Light snow showers/flurries in and around Goshen in the past hour.

GO ARMY! Sadly I'm giving up my season tickets but that's on the other board. Low of 10 here.

14.1 here

Check that, I guess I needed more coffee this morning, I see that my low was 17 or 16.8 for those who go to the tenth. Oh, I don't know if I'm smart enough to explain it much more but I've wondered if I fall in the warmer porion of that image too.

True I guess I misspoke a bit, I was thinking more in terms of cold air drainage, forested areas, that sort of thing. This isn't the best image but I don't have much time at the moment.

What's your elevation there? We'll see if I get that low but it should be the lowest of the season for sure. For whatever reason raditonal cooling is hit or miss IMBY. It seems like I tend to stay a bit warmer but there have been a few instances when I radiated very well and wound up colder. I haven't been able to figure out the reasoning but I sometimes wonder if my weather station location is a factor as it sits on a little hill in the yard with a 4-6 foot drop off on three sides. Anyone else think that this could be a factor?

Down to 19 right now, which I believe is my lowest thus far this season.

I assumned when you menyioned the lower Hudson Valley you meant south of Orange/Dutchess counties. I would considered my end of the Hudson Valley the lower end of the Mid-Hudson if that makes any sense.

Glad to see that you found us!
