A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Per official method, that would be 7.5", not 8. The rounding is for snowdepth, not snowfall. What's the official method, Ed? Is it half an inch per 8 inches of snowfall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Agreed. The only reason it was a suburbs event was the location of the band, not really due to temps or anything. Queens could have easily seen our totals if everything shifted 30 miles south. Anyways, now up to 68.5 on the year La Epic continues Our amounts agree well, I have 65.75" in the books.

Guest Pamela Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Snow has slackened considerably over the last half hour; at 9:05 AM I measured 4.6" new snow and the depth of snow on the ground is a little short of a foot in most places. Wondering if there might be enough moisture left over to squeeze out a few renegade snow showers and bring the storm total to an even 5. Anyway, I consider this winning the first game of the doubleheader...and with Christy Mathewson going for them in the nigthtcap...a split is sufficient.

nzucker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Youre closing in on last year. Whats the most youve had since youve lived there? The most I've had in Dobbs Ferry is the 68" from 09-10. I had about 55" in 02-03. I had over 80" living in Tarrytown during the 95-96 Winter, but don't remember much except the big blizzard since I was only 8 years old. That's only about 3 miles from here...Dobbs recorded 82" at the downtown co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 What's the official method, Ed? Is it half an inch per 8 inches of snowfall? For snowfall, you round to the nearest tenth. There is no official "fudge factor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 This puts CPK officially at 60.2" assuming there is nothing additional from the vestiges of this last band or round 2, placing it not only in the 60" club, but in the #4 slot for greatest seasonal snowfall, only surpassed by 1872/73(60.3), 1922/23(60.4), 1947/48(63.2) and 1995/96(75.6). Breaking the all time record (only another 15.5") shouldn't be any big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha5 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 For those living in the HPN area: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/SnowClimo/WhitePlains.html The record for seasonal snow is 84". Although they are missing records from 47-49, which was a big year as we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the record for here followed by 95-96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think theyll be #3 by the last measurement of this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking the all time record (only another 15.5") shouldn't be any big deal. They likely tacked on a bit more, Diego, because the 2.5" you added was through 7:00 AM and the obs showed snow still falling there later in the morning.

A-L-E-X Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 How much did they get in 60-61? The Dobbs Ferry co-op measured 90" that winter. That's the record for here followed by 95-96. 1947-48 might actually have been your biggest..... White Plains got 32" from Dec 1947 alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the record, 84 at the airport. 1947-48 might actually have been your biggest..... White Plains got 32" from Dec 1947 alone. Yeah thats why its not the best dataset...missing some key years. I assume the rest of 47-48 was relatively snowy as well, so that could be the record year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 1947-48 might actually have been your biggest..... White Plains got 32" from Dec 1947 alone. The Dobbs Ferry records seem to be pretty accurate from that period; about 80" fell here in 47-48, similar to 57-58 a decade later. 60-61" had two storms around 18" and one storm over 24" so that definitely stands out for Westchester. The winter was very intense from the December 1960 storm that dropped about 18" here through the Arctic outbreak in the latter half of January, then another 18" storm, then like 25" in the February 1961 event. Winter was pretty much finished at that point although a few smaller events were mixed in to get to the 90" mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternLI Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well, I measured 3 in on my table out here. I really didn't even think I'd see that much so this is a nice little event. Still very light snow, individual flakes which is always cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 LOL I wonder what they got in Dec 92 and Mar 93. They also somehow got less than NYC in 93-94...possibly because they were too far north for the core of 2/8 event, missed the 12/11 event...that was about 8-9 inches total there.

Would be happy to share with you all the records for the stations in Westchester...unfortunately just bought a new bookcase and had taken all the books off the old shelf and placed them in bags in another room...lots of bags. Will get around to filling up the as of now empty new bookshelf shortly. Check your Westchester Weather Book by Thaler...should have the records...though only through the mid-1970's.

Guest Pamela Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 How the hell did HPN get 51 inches in 92-93? Nothing in the least surprising about that. White Plains is at 440 feet and there were some marginal events that winter...Dec 92 backlash huge in Westchester...around 16" in Yorktown Heights and a lot down to HPN...same with March Superstorm. #'s are 100% legit, IMO.
