No flakes here, just a nasty day, 41 deg with showers at noon. It's forecasted to be about 40 deg. warmer wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm sitting right at the trailing edge of what's left of the storm. To my east is a bank of dark clouds muting the sunrise and to my west is crystal clear. The banding in the clouds is textbook perfect and the color spectrum is too. I love when you can really see a storms structure like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Epic year for my flowering bulbs, best in recent memory. The whole yard smells of a beautiful hyacinth/daffodil medley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The smell of smoke fills the air as there have been/are numerous brush fires across the area as well as a nasty fire in Fallsburg which took out a number of buildings. IMBY, a heavy heavy crop of maple trees in the lawn from last falls seed drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 How warm did we get today? I saw high 80's on a couple of bank thermo's and 91 in my car. I went for a mt bike ride and it sure didn't seem that warm but it was really dry so that helps it to feel a bit cooler. Boy the woods dried out in a hurry with these couple of dry days. Soil moisture seems to be holding up well 1" down but the surface is crackly and dusty already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two days ago the yard was a mud pit... today I mowed and kicked up billowing clouds of dust for four hours straight. Mouth, lungs, and eyes just filled with dirt and grit. You'd have thought it was August 20th or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 12 acres. Most of it goes unused which is why things can remain out of sight for a while, and the steep slope/maze of trees makes the mowing more time-intensive than it should be.

My hope for our next place when we finally get to move out of this suburban ick is to have a few acres that backs up to 'never to be developed' forest of some sort. I want to be able to ride my bike out the door and not have to be concerned with nosy neighbors with nothing better to do than whine about what I do or don't do. I also want to be able to have enough room to have my own playground right outside the door and an open hillside is part of that plan, if there's a couple of hundred vertical feet of north facing wooded hillside to ski on that would be a best case scenario. Yup, never get old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, never get old Yeah, bolded is key. My place backs up to a sprawling cemetery on one side and wetlands on the other, both of which are pretty much kisses of death for any development prospects. Sometimes when I'm really bored I'll peruse landandfarm.com and check out the 200,000+ acre ranches for sale out west. You could have entire rivers and mountains all to yourself. How cool would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yeah right? That cemetery is some nice quiet neighbors but is the wetlands a mosquito factory? What are the chances that big line of storms crossing I81 now falls apart before getting here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasiluvsnow Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I could use some help here. I am trying to find out on which dates we had accumulating snow this season and if possible how much snow actually fell ? Is there a website or link to tell me how much snow fell during these individual events in Rockland county or in my particular area in Rockland County ? Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help Go to this site: http://xmacis.rcc-acis.org/, use station ID "NYRL0005", and select "daily data for a month" under the single-station tab. That CoCoRaHS observer is the only current source of snowfall records in Rockland that I'm aware of, but the data looks pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishmick9 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Feel like these events always bust around here and we get the better severe days when it is unexpected. But we never seem to have an EML in our favor, so hopefully we can cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that's where the meat and potatoes are. SPC expanded the enhanced risk. They also mention a possibility of a few winds around hurricane force. Northeast... Thunderstorms are expected to develop and grow upscale from midday through afternoon, sweeping eastward across the region with the main risk being severe wind. The potential for a well-organized swath of damaging wind -- including a few gusts around hurricane force -- appears greatest over the enhanced-risk area. Large hail also is possible, especially in the first few hours of the convective cycle when storm modes can be more favorably discrete or semi-discrete. A few tornadoes also may occur, whether from supercells or QLCS-embedded vortices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonvalley21 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It defiantly looks like game on. It's also pretty much clear out to our west as per cloud debris. So things will get cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
