gravitylover Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 Damn you westerners really cashed in on this one. How am I going to catch up to a 10-12" deficit? Well, at least I'm winning for the thickest ice accretion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 12.0 inches on the ground and about half of that after sunset yesterday. Very surprised I figured this would top out at 6-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chietanen Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 8” new overnight in Staatsburg, pure fluff. Had about 5” from part 1, so a nice total of 13”. Didn’t think I’d make it to 12”. Nice start to the season considering it’s third accumulating snow IMBY and it’s just December 3. It’s surprising how much those 10-15 or so miles between Poughkeepsie and Rhinebeck make such a difference in many storms. I’ve noticed it for years while living in Poughkeepsie and now I’m seeing it firsthand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Finished with 7.5" down here in south west Morris County. Real nice looking snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means you also have lots of water for snowmaking. Gonna have to thoroughly coat the place and bug out the neighbors. I think my 4" eyeball measurement was a bit optimistic. Even on top of the 1/2" ice base it's really more like 3" total for the event. Weak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my last bitch about getting shafted it started snowing, then it snowed harder and for a pretty long time. I haven't been out but it looks like at least 3" and may be closer to 4. Thanks @gravitylover! Been poking around since 2010 but don’t post much. Always on here though when winter comes around. Enjoy the snowpack! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a real bitch bender/ lilac layer downer storm, a Tree Avalanche Warning has been issued.

gravitylover Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 At least it's nice looking through the iced up trees on a sunny day. Hey, I'm trying to find the good part of a day of white rain, rain and sleet during a prime winter storm going on all around me. @Juliancolton it makes me feel better that I'm not alone here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must’ve been good snow growth! I believe the focus of that band remained pretty much stationary from Albany down to about Hyde Park, closely following the river corridor. The 12-20" reports in NW Dutchess and SW Columbia are very impressive. I was likely sitting under subsidence between areas of enhancement, which would explain why I only saw about an inch after 9 pm.

Make sure you have fuel for your leaf blower because when snow is that fluffy it's fun to just blow it away. Not sure if that was the thought you were looking for but ...

Yeah, I was thinking that too as the powdery cleanup this morning was MUCH easier that the wet icy clean up from yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepaJames8602 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Wont call it a bust for my area, more so a disappointment. Heaviest snowfall stayed a good 30 to 40 miles north of me. I ended up with 6". Dissapointing when you're forecasted for 9 to 15" though. Areas just to my north cleaned up with a solid 12", especially near my job. All in all, a decent even regardless. I'm looking forward to the next one in my new area:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 The temp wants so badly to freefall into oblivion. On the brink of decoupling as I bounce between 17 and 20 from minute to minute, depending on clouds. An hour of clear skies at this point and I'd be in single digits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Dusting overnight. Only got down to 29f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Low of 22 before the clouds thickened up, it has been a fairly quick rise to 26. Was it supposed to be flurrying this morning? It's not amounting to much but the white refresher is nice along the crusty stuff by the street.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 30.5°, dark gray skies, intermittent flurries, trees still encased in white and a foot of snow on the ground. It's hard to believe people get depressed by weather like this. If it were sunny and 50° with no snow anywhere in sight, now that's depressing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
