Heavy Wet Snow Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That bad was modeled on every model to be east of river. Sucks it set up west of river. Snowed hard for 10 minutes and the band just coming chugging west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wiping often cause I was bouncing between sleet and snow between 4-6pm... then I wiped again before just cause I didn't think I'd go out and take another measurement tonight.

I dont think it's impacting it all that much... but your probably right, my totals seemed in line with new paltz to my north and Newburgh to my south, I'll leave it and see what storm totals are... i was 4.8" total as of this afternoon, and new Windsor was 4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wiped only during change of ptype how else would you suggest getting an accurate measurement in those conditions? Ground reading means absolutely nothing... and had I left my board completely alone...
