When you say inland are you referencing to "just inland"? Most of Orange county has averaged 60-65" in the last 11 yrs.. MBY alone has averaged 66.3" since 2002..

How much snow did you personally measure at your location during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 winters?

HM likes a cold February

That is allan huffman

The bottom line is this, I think February will be the coldest month of the winter for the US. That isn’t saying much I know, but there are signs that the preview of spring we see to end January will not be the pattern the rest of the winter, but a colder pattern may evolve by February. We shall see.

49" for the 08/09 season.. 75" for the 09/10 season

The cooperative at Rock Hill roughly 10 miles to your NW in Sullivan County at 1270 feet had 52.3" in 2008-09 and 71.7" in 2009-10...so I'd say your numbers seem pretty reasonable for those two years...especially given that co-ops traditionally undermeasure or have some missing data...

And considering precip has been concentrated further to the east it makes sense..

I just asked to see if you were some kind of weather weenie or a serious observer...if you had told me like 80 inches for the '09 and 100 inches for '10...I would have suspected the former...

lol no.. No Skimrg or CTblizz here. I try to keep it as accurate as I can. Too old to inflate totals.. :snowing: Unlike some on this board.

Good man...

It's pretty obvious he ends up doing better than the coast, NYC, or LI. It's amazing if you check the cutoff in elevation b/w Orange and Rockland counties. Almost upon entering Orange, the mountains hit you and you know you're in a different climate.

And to be fair.. a good chunk of the eastern part of the county recieved 80-85" in 09/10 season..

to say that Long Island does just as well as NW areas is a bunch of garbage. Perhaps I am underestimating Long Island snowfall just as much as posters from Long Island underestimate northwest snowfall.

It's not just Orange county, the same can be said for parts of Western Passaic northward and westward. 287 is pretty much the boundry between elevation and valley. Of course the elevation continues to increase the further NW you travel.

Oh, I agree. I was just thinking NY cause of where he lives. But yes, NW Jersey as well for sure.

I cannot recall ever arguing the contrary...that would be foolish...

Show me the posts where I argue that Long Island receives "more snowfall" on average than areas to the northwest of NYC and we can continue this discussion...

confirmation that SW nassau/JFK is truly the screw zone...wow.

Im surprised at that pattern a bit. I think it depends on the winter. most winters id think more of a SE to NW increase, not the SW to NE show on that map...

The elevation is most noticable for events like tonight. For example, I will probably only end up with a light glaze overnight. Even places with some decent elevation like Butler and West Milford probably won't see much more. Hewitt on the other hand is quite a bit higher in elevation than the rest of the county, and that stretch NW towards Vernon could see significant icing overnight. Not to be obvious but I would think our friends in Orange County stand the best chance at holding onto the most frozen/freezing precip.

Just to let you know...and I mean this is an entirely respectful way...I am not exactly new to this stuff...when Mattingly went .324 / 35 HR / 145 rbi's...the year you were born...I had already been following the area's climatology for some time...

We probably will stay below freezing till tomorrow afternoon.

Currently 28.9*
