  1. I think western NY does have higher probs of "unexpected" cloudiness vs here but def looks good right now!
  2. I was living in Armonk at the time and we got around 11 inches. But accumulations dropped rapidly southward as Westchester airport, only a few miles south was at 6-7 inches if I recall.
  3. Bring it on, nothing worse than being too warm for snow but still too cold to enjoy anything.
  4. Yea, two separate storms hitting us on consecutive days - frustrating that the lack of spacing between them is not preventing the 2nd one from reaching us.
  5. If it's not going to snow then a day like today is great. Cool, dreary / rainy is depressing and unfortunately is what we will get starting tomorrow and will last for an entire week.
  6. It did end up snowing a few inches in the Berks overnight, beautiful fluffy snow. Happy I got one more mini event under my belt lol. Will be a nice day to ski!
  7. Drove up to the Berkshires today and was also impressed with the snow cover - especially in northern Westchester into Putnam. Funny enough snow cover dropped to almost nil once I got into central Dutchess county and it continued that way the rest of the drive up! The far northern areas did not cash in at all during the past two events. It is quite eery to be up here in Feb and not see much of any snow on the ground.
  8. Hey I do get your pessimism, I live in Manhattan so I definitely know all about how hard it is to accumulate here! That being said, temps will be better, heck 40 isn't too bad (and as others noted the dews are quite low anyway so there is room to drop pretty quickly). What is not clear is whether decent rates make it up here - if they do CPK may do better than Monday.
  9. Temps will be better this time around and the event starts overnight which should help. But can CPK end up being at the lower end again? Sure. My point is that it's possible CPK ends up with more than the last event.
  10. What are the probs that CPK gets more here vs this past monday's event? I'd say around 50/50 or even a bit higher now with these latest trends
  11. Would be funny if the Park ends up with more from this one
  12. Initially due to UHI, then due to rates. Only had the good stuff for around 90 mins in Manhattan.
  13. Boston got screwed with this one which is weird considering that our northern areas scored big time as when the models indicated this a few days ago, Boston also scored big. When the models indicated the southern trend yesterday, both our northern suburbs and Boston seemed to have lost out. Weird storm. Edit: Weirdly modeled storm I guess
  14. I do care too and have made many comments about their inaccuracy in the past. For this storm I don't think they were far off. I measured around 3.5 in a few spots. Edit: To add, I woke up early (630) and even then there was only an inch at most so there was some lost totals due to UHI. Also we were in the heavy rates for only 90 mins or so mid morning so this also really prevented higher accumulations.
  15. 3.2 measurement is close enough, may have been 3.5 but honestly who cares? Could have been an easy 6 if we stayed within the good banding.
  16. This will def be better than that one in Manhattan. Everything including roads were covered at around 930 with the good rates and we are already at 3-4 inches. Rates diminished after that and with the recent salt spreading, streets are mostly clear again.
  17. Def a beautiful snowy scene in the UWS but not to sound like a downer, we clearly missed out on the best rates. I'll of course take it as it's still better than anything in the past few years!
  18. Starting to pick up again (mod to heavy) after a bit of a lull (light to mod).
  19. Just amazing the NYC/CPK is again in the screw zone. Not saying things can't get better but just my observation per radar and by simply looking outside.
  20. It's fair to say a couple of inches were lost but it's been sticking for the past several hours so not having the best rates / dynamics now will cut in even more than the warm start.
  21. Def a beautiful winter wonderland in the UWS, snow coming down at a good clip and everything is covered including roads. Haven't seen such a scene in a few years here.
  22. Certainly a possibility, would be comical and further proof that it's better to not be modeled as being in the bullseye prior to the start of a storm!
