hudsonvalley21 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 14 was the low here. Forecast high is 49 for today, I don’t think it will get there currently 32 and cloudy. 12z runs came in colder with a uptick in accumulations. Maybe we get warning criteria amounts tomorrow. I won’t check the snowblower till tomorrow, don’t want to jinx it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbowftw3 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Should be a very easy 5-8” event up in Sullivan. For the third time this winter and first since the middle of December I’m going to get my snowblower fired up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I don’t quite understand the Winter Storm Watch for 5-8 still in Orange County. If they are so on the fence about achieving the six inch warning criteria why not just issue an advisory for 4-6 and upgrade to a warning at 4 am if needed.

It would be hard to blame them for grading on a curve. This is, after all, the first widespread significant event of the season, with all the heightened impacts that come with that.

In Albanys forecast area is warning criteria 7 inches? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I love the oval of 8-10 right over Highland Mills in Eastern Orange County. It seems to work out that way more often than not, although the last few years not as much for whatever reason, lack of storms probably a big part of that. That scroo zone that Julian references east of the river is certainly on display in this map. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out the next 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Just got out of the Monday morning staff meeting.... "I heard it starts at 6pm" "I heard 7pm" "I heard 3-6" "I heard 5-8" "I heard 8-10" "Rob, what do you think?" In the words of the great Clark Griswold "You wanna know what I think?

I first started to notice that when my daughter moved to East Fishkill. More often than not it always seemed like she was a few inches short of what I would get in Highland Mills, Julian just confirmed that over the years. What exactly, if there is one, is the reason for that? The elevation difference isn't that significant, 200-300 feet, and the latitude further north. I realize every storm is different but it seems to happen consistently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's downsloping versus upsloping, dependent on the trajectory of each storm. https://en-us.topographic-map.com/map-p1xt6/New-York/?center=41.33867%2C-73.89542 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some sort of a microscale seasonal snowfall map that could be looked at to see what the snowfall distribution is across the region?

The closest I got was the Delaware Water Gap and Stroudsburg. Basically looking for the area near I-80 and just south of there near Mt Pocono.

sn0w Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Cigar with some whiskey on the front porch right around 9 or 10 tonight sounds just about right. Gotta enjoy potentially the only "real" snowfall of the season to its fullest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Same current conditions as @gravityloverand same festivities as @sn0w. Glad we could do this at least once before spring.

It’s a different world up there at 1,100’. Conditions can come up fast on you especially around those turns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
