gravitylover Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 A boatload of rain, a bit of sleet and topped off with a dusting of snow (that's still coming down) and the basement went 4" deep I thought I had it beat this year when it was still dry at midnight but by 7 this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 2.38" for me. One of the local roads along the Wallkill was flooded this morning, the river was also close to NYS 416 but hadn't reached it yet. I have a feeling it will reach NYS 416 on Thursday....

Some of the field areas along I-84 in the middletown area looked like lakes this morning. Along route 209 south of Milford in the park, there was runoff flooding the road out in areas. It's going not to be fun when this runoff freezes tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The Wallkill is still rising around here, while NYS 416 didn't have water on it this morning it does this afternoon. Unless it starts dropping NYSDOT will likely close 416 at the County 99 intersection soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Back in the saddle again after being sick since friday. Hey Rob, @ 8pm the Walkill is at about 9.5 feet. Do you have problems with the river if it floods? Fortunatley for me it doesn't give me any problems, my house is about 40-50 feet higher than the river and set back 200-300 feet. 1.73" here, less tha nexpected IMBY, which is good but theres still a lot of water from upstream that needs to move through here. I'm guessing that NYS 416 will be closed at some point and possibly County 99 (Neelytown Rd) as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Somehow the heavy rain kept bypassing me - with the exception of the few hour long squall line right at the end. Doppler estimate has us around .8 to an inch - much less than it could have been. Still full snowcover...over a foot in the woods easily. 39 and dense fog currently.

hudsonvalley21 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 On route 209 in Pa. it was closed from Dingmans Ferry on south thru Bushkill. Real mess over that way along the Deleware river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Quite a few schools closed/delayed due to flooding in the Catskills run off towns of Ulster and Greene counties. Doppler estimate of 3 to 4 inches in parts of the Catskills. Flooding along parts of the Schoharie Creek near here - that flows north out of the Catskills (starts below Hunter). Ultimately that dumps into the Mohawk and things usually flood in the stockade section of Schenectady, etc. On route 209 in Pa. it was closed from Dingmans Ferry on south thru Bushkill. Real mess over that way along the Deleware river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Still full snowcover...over a foot in the woods easily. I still have a couple of patches in the woods with a couple inches but thats it, after this rain my yard is finally complelty snow free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I root for the snow cover to last as deep into March as possible because the alternative is a mud hell with our soil. March is a useless month unless it snows. Maybe it gets nice in April...but sometimes not in La Nina years.

I was in contract for a house off of Stony Ford Road on a private road. the back of the property included fedeal wetlands and the river bank. Dispite the owners insistance that the house or the land never flooded. It broke my heart but I backed out when I reviewed the Fed Flood Zone maps. I knew that during a week like this, I'd be a basket case of nerves. We had 1.76 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xram Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 2.43" for the event. I can't understand 2 observations on rain totals. All within 3 miles as the crow flies from me and measuring over an inch more than me. Wonder if my gauge is off somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All within 3 miles as the crow flies from me and measuring over an inch more than me. Wonder if my gauge is off somehow. I noticed this in general in recent years and with all readings, not just the rain gauge. I think the cause is all of the cheap weather stations readily available. I know that my Old Man has one of these and always reports his totals to me and from what I can tell it's usually off, usually inflated a bit in his case. I've mentioned to him that he should get a traditional rain gauge for comparison purposes but he's not into it all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned to him that he should get a traditional rain gauge for comparison purposes but he's not into it all that much. I have the Vantage Pro2 wireless. Looking at the other surrounding readings.....it looks like other readings around my vicinity average mine...so i think the two other readings are wrong. I'm thinking about getting this http://www.weatheryo...rahs/rgcoco.htm even rain gauges can give different totals depending on construction and placement. I may pick this up. Thanks for the link.
