I made multiple trips to ALB for work early 2000s. Often snow from home all the way even CT Valley then coming down from the Berks into the valley it was like woah where did the snow go.
Alb is a Hudson Valley snow pit compared with surrounding areas. Horrible retention . I have averaged more than them since 2000 and have better retention 30 miles from the coast and 150 miles south
Best body surfing and surfing day ever was just before Belle bisected LI in 1976. The beach was closed, yea OK. Antique Polaroid of a 19 yr old me heading in.
Impressive widespread totals over an inch. Looks like Thompson Ct area and Montville big winners in CT.
