IrishRob17 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 My daughter said we got 7 but I am going to recheck that when I get home Anything is possible but there's not 7" in downtown Goshen now. I just did a window ledge measurement (not the most accurate I know) and it was 4" which looks about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I am doing pretty poorly here.. Probably 2 inches at the maximum.. Just no consistency with the snow today. A couple of nice bursts, but then it fizzles out again... Starting up again now, but I think we are running out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 4-5" seems to be the theme areawide.. My wife is off today said that she shoveled three times at home and each time it was a couple of inches. Of course this may not be all that accurate because what I tell my wife is 6" wouldn't show up as 6" on a standard ruler.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still light snow as of 4pm and 5" down on the east side of the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radders Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I am up to 3 inches now... Still lagging from the rest of you, but I have made a bit of a recovery and it is still snowing.. Maybe I can get another inch. It is funny, because I just noticed I have been upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning!! Edit - I just did proper measurement - 4 inches on the nose. Light snow still falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 lol Its 4.2. I gota teach the kid LOL, we're always teaching our kids something. Radders, I thought of you when I saw you got upgraded earlier. Still snowing over here even though there's not much on the radar, big beautiful flakes just floating down, good stuff. It looks like 5" IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still keeping an eye on it, but I think I am just about done with around 4 inches total. I'll take it.. Beautiful out, dog loves it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 3" here now ..still snowing here ...some moderate bursts. I was down as far as POU today and they had 4" when I left at 2:30 PM. I thought the most impressive snow was around northern Dutchess and southern Columbia around 4:30 PM. They probably got a good 6" total.... Also they still had a good amount of the old Noreaster snow left...can't be sure but maybe 4, 5, 6 inches survived the torch. 4.8" final here.. Lgt Snow stuck around for a better part of the day.

HeinzGuy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Just measured about 6.6 here...still snowing lightly. However, it was on the roof of a car in between 2 houses and may not be accurate, due to some coming off the roofs. It's really light, powdery snow.

Logan11 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Still snowing good here now...echoes coming nw out of CT. Much slower start up here, but definitely over 4 inches now. I'll go measure soon. 19F. 25.3/22 picked up 5.8" today. Wonder what is going to happen tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJay Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I was just out with my dogs. The beauty of this snowfall is sublime. Pine tree branches perfectly touched with snow, the fallen powder on the branches and the ground catches the light and a million flawless diamonds sparkle on the landscape. Perfection.

Radders Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Folks - A nice hit on the Euro for our region regarding the storm on tuesday night... A nice 0.75" for all of us.. A little fast moving so taken as is, a nice 6-10 inch storm for us. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 10" reported in Somers in Northern Westchester County... 4" here in Dobbs Ferry. I think the Somers one may be just a touch high. I'm at almost the highest elevation in the area and Somers is right at the end of my block. I don't think I got over 8". What I did notice coming home last night is that south of about Yorktown there is noticeably less than from there up with the obvious demarcation between nuisance snow and winter storm being right around I 287. Folks - A nice hit on the Euro for our region regarding the storm on tuesday night... A nice 0.75" for all of us.. A little fast moving so taken as is, a nice 6-10 inch storm for us. Fingers crossed I never thought I'd say this but, why does the most active period of the winter so far have to be when my boss and asst. mgr. are out of the country on vacation and the wife of the other asst. mgr. is due next week? Can't the snow just hold off until the last week of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little fast moving so taken as is, a nice 6-10 inch storm for us. Fingers crossed I think that many if us are still a bit gun shy from last year bit we're starting to get over that as we get in on these storms, ha! I agree with Tjay, yesterdays snowfall is beautiful, sparkling diamonds, simply wonderful. I'd take 3-4 storms like that one again over a couple of weeks than one big dog anytime.

I'm at 12 right now. KMGJ's temp was offline for a bit this week and has appeared to be a bit funky at times but it's not far off now or fixed since I got to 4 and I'm just down the road from there.

We spend so much time tracking these storms and dealing their effects that the beauty of them gets lost. Our snow season started about a month late but mother nature seems intent on catching up now.

hudsonvalley21 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Got down to 10 last night. Now the eyes turn to the Tues-Wed event. Looks to be trending closer to the coast. Nice write-up by OKX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY 405 PM EST SAT JAN 8 2011 .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... -- Changed Discussion --...POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW STORM FROM LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY INCREASING... LOOKING AT THE 12Z SUITE OF MODELS...IT APPEARS THE GFS IS A SOUTHERN/EASTERN OUTLIER...AND THE 9Z SREF A NORTHERN/WESTERN OUTLIER WITH THE STORM WHEN COMPARED TO THE GEFS ENSEMBLE MEAN AND ECWMF. THE 12Z GEFS MEAN TRACKS THE STORM OVER THE 40N/70W BENCHMARK AT 6Z WEDNESDAY...WITH ECMWF JUST TO THE NW OF THE BENCHMARK AT 12Z WEDNESDAY. BASED ON THIS HAVE OPTED FOR A ECMWF/GEFS ENSEMBLE MEAN BLEND FOR THE EXTENDED. OTHER THAN THE SREF SOLUTION...THERE IS A CLEAR CONSENSUS FOR AN ALL SNOW EVENT...WITH THIS IDEA BEING FOLLOWED. THE FIRST PART OF THE STORM...A CUTOFF LOW CURRENTLY OVER EASTERN AZ...IS WELL RESOLVED BY LAND BASED OBSERVATIONS...AND IS HANDLED FAIRLY SIMILARLY BY ALL MODELS. THE SECOND PIECE OF THE EQUATION ENERGY FORECAST TO DIVE DOWN FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST BY TONIGHT/SUNDAY IS STILL OVER THE NE PACIFIC...SO HOPEFULLY EITHER THE 00Z OR 12Z SUNDAY BALLOON LAUNCHES WILL CAPTURE THIS FEATURE AND PROVIDE INCREASED CONFIDENCE. THE GFS IS A FAST/SHEARED OUTLIER WITH THIS SYSTEM...AND AS A RESULT DOES NOT STRENGTHEN THE DOWNSTREAM RIDGING THAT MOVES OVER THE AREA TUESDAY SHARPLY ENOUGH (THIS IS A KNOWN GFS BIAS - NOT SHARPENING THE DOWNSTREAM RIDGING ENOUGH). THE RESULT IS A MORE SOUTHERN/EASTERN SOLUTION IN THE GFS. THE OTHER MODELS HANDLE THIS DOWNSTREAM RIDGING BETTER...SO HAVE THE SETUP FOR A LOW TRACKING CLOSER TO THE COAST AND INTENSIFYING MORE THAN THE GFS. BASED ON THE ABOVE HAVE CHANCE POPS SW 1/2...SLIGHT CHANCE POPS NE 1/2 OF AREA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. INCREASE POPS TO LIKELY THROUGHOUT BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...AND CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR ALL BUT FAR NW ZONES...WHERE UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING GIVES PRUDENCE TO HIGH END CHANCE POPS AT THIS TIME. TAPER POPS OFF FROM NW TO SE INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THURSDAY BEING DRY. WHILE IT IS TOO EARLY TO DISCUSS AMOUNTS...THE POTENTIAL IS INCREASING FOR A SIGNIFICANT TO VERY SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACROSS THE REGION FROM LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION. IF THE STRONGER ECMWF SOLUTION IS CORRECT...THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG GUSTY WINDS...WHICH WOULD ALSO CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS OVER EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA. THIS LATTER IDEA IS THE LOWEST CONFIDENCE PART OF THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. BASED ON THIS WILL ENHANCE WORDING IN THE HWO...INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW - EMPHASIZING THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR THIS IDEA IS OVER EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA FOR NOW. STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR THINGS TO CHANGE...BUT GIVEN SOLID CONSISTENCY OF GEFS ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLUTION OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...AND THE ECMWF OVER ITS PAST FEW RUNS...CONFIDENCE IN A WINTER STORM...POSSIBLY A MAJOR ONE...IS INCREASING IN THE LATE TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME. STAY TUNED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
