Mountain Rd which runs SW-NE right alongside the Shawangunk Ridge had snow covering it today from blowing snow. Average elevation there is about 1200' or so. It felt like Mid-jan today while driving on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 News about contests ... Hello, I am dropping into all regional forum banter or chat threads to post some information about contests that you may find interesting. On the general forum of American Weather Forums, we have a temperature forecast contest that has been going on here since Eastern gave birth to American Weather. We would welcome some new entrants for 2017; the contest is simple to enter and just takes a minute once you've decided on your forecasts. There are nine locations across the U.S. including NYC. We predict anomalies from 1981-2010 normals, and the forecasts are scored promptly at the end of each month. I am drawing your attention to the contest a month in advance of the new contest year for two reasons -- (1) people get very busy and distracted around New Years, and (2) the contest has a four-seasons component for the 12 months starting Dec 2016. So this is a good month to jump in and get in a practice round before 2017. Some of the regulars in the contest include well-known forum members that you'll recognize, and the standards are pretty high (albeit I am dragging them down somewhat). So it's a good place to test out your forecasting insights against some of the better forecasters on American Weather. Here's a portal into that forecast contest thread ... https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/49268-december-2016-temperature-forecast-contest/ Meanwhile, one other contest I can recommend if you want to make a snowfall forecast for 25 locations in the northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states for Dec to Mar winter 2016-17. This is a separate website that runs just this contest and storm forecast contests that you can enter with e-mail notification provided to remind you if a storm is brewing. Once again, you would recognize a few names in that contest (recent years have seen 15-20 regular participants) and the standards are pretty good, once again an ideal place to work on your forecasting or show it off depending on where things are at. http://www.newx-forecasts.com/#RULES That's the link for the Northeast U.S. snowfall contest website. Just to complete the tour, you may know that the central/western forum is the place to go for annual severe weather forecasts (most people make them in the winter months, the 2017 thread will probably open up soon). And make a note that there's an annual North Atlantic hurricane forecast contest also in the general forum here at Am-Wx. I organize that one as well, and usually run an announcement thread in May. Well, enjoy your winter and maybe we'll see some (more) of your sub-forum members taking part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Was driving to work today and I noticed piles of leaves on the street in front of houses in Garden City. Turns out the city has annual leaf collection, where residents simply blow the leaves into the street, and the city cleans them up. I would love to have that.

ForestHillWx Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 A lot of the towns in North Jersey do that; I do not live in one of those towns. However, being I have no immediate neighbors, into the woods the leaves will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
