Up on top, I have a bunch of cellular trail cams that showed some decent snow cover this morning. All melted now. But yes, Highland Mills seems to frequently be a jackpot area! .
-
2.13” for the event here. 74.35” YTD. A couple inches of snow on Schunnemunk Mountain >1,000’ in elevation. .
-
I had a downpour for about 10 mins around 10pm last night, picked up 0.14”. Nothing on radar near me in New Windsor or the whole northeast for that matter! Strange… .
-
Definitely a local jackpot. Highland Mills/Monroe area seems to reliably outperform over the years.
-
Hefty accumulations @ 1,450’ on Schunnemunk Mountain! Game cam picked up a couple deer earlier today.
-
Snow depth in Blooming Grove is still significant. For reference, those are 27” tires. I was in Catskill earlier today and the snow cover was patchy, just about melted up there.
-
Just took the first measurement in Cornwall, average of 18”. Still coming down heavy and radar seems resilient up here in Orange County. Let’s go two feet! Edit: Temp up to 29.1

8” on the nose in Cornwall. 1” last hour, snow/graupel mix. Radar snow hole incoming...
-
I’m on the north side of Cornwall.

DP went from 2 to 12 in about 15 mins. Temp dropped from 23 to 21 in that time. Snow rates picking up quick out there now.

December 16-17, 2020 Storm Observations and Nowcast

Flurries starting in Cornwall Orange County -
Is it me or has the Weather Channel gone downhill? They had a segment on the use of pickle juice as an ice melter instead of salt due to environmental hazards... That aside, looking forward to a good storm here in Cornwall!

Nice blanket of snow on top of Schunnemunk Mountain. The trail cam is about 1,580’ in elevation. Cold up there- temp reading showing 25 degrees.

This air quality map really shows how bad the fires are out west.

Believe it or not, when you hear a pop, it is a fuse blowing on a pole and not a transformer. Also, the momentary interruptions you see are devices on the line that attempt to clear a fault. Generally, a recloser or substation breaker will operate three times before locking out. If a branch falls and causes a fault then falls to the ground, power will be restored automatically. If it remains remains on the line, then the device will lock out and require manual intervention once the repairs have been made.

My next door neighbor has had a well driller pounding away for two days now. No water yet. I hope mine holds out, it’s over 500’ deep already.
-
Who would have thought snow in May then a thunderstorm with hail two days later. Add it to the list of 2020 oddities...

Surprising to see PM 2.5 at ”1” at the area reporting stations today. I think the lowest I’ve ever seen was 20 or so. Pretty incredible. Bunch of articles online about better air quality around the globe with all the decreased activity due to Coronavirus. Took the day to go for a hike on Schunnemunk Mountain. Got 8 miles in. No Corona up there! Hope everyone is staying healthy.

Yes indeed! Lol

Thanks @gravitylover! Been poking around since 2010 but don’t post much. Always on here though when winter comes around. Enjoy the snowpack!
-
Still pouring snow. Had the power bump off for a few seconds then saw the sky light up when a fuse blew. Luckily came back on. Here we go!

Just measured 7” in Cornwall including yesterday’s glacier layer. Tail end of this storm is surprising to the upside, moderate rates with radar showing at least a couple more hours of incoming. Getting nervous with the tree branches though. I lost a small white pine in the front garden, snapped in half. And I have a large Japanese Maple still with leaves on it. I went out with a 20’ pole to knock the snow off the branches. I’m sure there’ll be some damage in the morning.

Sleet/Graupel/Freezing Rain mix @ 22 degrees in Cornwall. Roads will be slick quickly at these temps.

After some exhaustive research, I found the most reliable and recommended brands to be Toro and Ariens. I ended up with a Toro PowerMax HD 1028 OXHE in December. Looks like I’ll finally be able to use it! Two good websites: snowblowersdirect.com and snowblowersatjacks.com. Both offer free shipping and no tax. They’re both cheaper than the local dealers. Good luck shopping!
