A shame this will end soon. Better than nothing I guess. Another 2-3 hours of this we’d have a nice snowfall. Oh well

Light to moderate snow here and temp is down to 32.  The street is beginning to cave.

It's not out of the question we end up with an inch here, but we had two or more inches of snow twice last winter so no records for futility are not on the table.

[Rjay]

Nice burst of snow

Thanks for all the info/insights, but I still am curious about the difference, as the RFC forecast I posted clearly says through 1/13, so it's not cut off on 1/10.  IMO, discrepancies like that are not good to have unless there's a really good reason for it (like the forecasts are simply different - but if they are, the NWS should explain that so users aren't confused).  

Most sure what you';re looking at... just saw the lager Pine Brook in minor heading for moderate on 1/10 but nothing bout 1/13.  Please send me what you're looking at that says 1/13 =thanks. I have to prep some pea soup so ill be away at times.

I have looked at guidance through the end of the month and so the 6" value I posted for top 10 January may end up 2" in error but thats what I came up with...a "chance" for a top 10 Jan water equivalent wise. 

If we dont exceed 2" in CP this next event on 1/9-10, then 6" for January seems less likely.

Since I have no emoji's...thanks... these are what we like to enjoy. Gotta have some fun. Thagts a heckuva long driveway!!! Sticks I suspect, just like up here near the Appalachian Trail.

Yeah Helderberg Mountains (really hills) west of Albany, a northeast extension of the  Catskills geologically speaking. I'm just off the 'Long Path' .. hiking trail. That goes from the GW Bridge northward to here amd crosses the App Trail around Schunemunk or thereabouts.

Yup, some decent table scraps I guess. As usual the CCB is coming together too late and will be best for New England.

Another snow burst here of mod snow.  Looks like 20 to 30 minutes left before the precip cuts off.  This has been a pleasant storm here  because we did not get much if any rain north of HPN.  I’ll be sad to see it wash away so quick esp. since the next 10 days do not look promising, in fact the opposite as it stands.  Longer term is a crap shoot.

I guess futility continues for the Central Park Zoo or wherever they take measurements  now. It makes a good headline.

Sun trying to poke out in Long Beach. Snow flakes mix in with light rain every now and again. Depressing/nasty. Happy for the folks north who got a good event.

All out snowstorm up here. Between the 0.4 last night and this batch we will cobble together an inch for the event

[NorthShoreWx]

Lowered expectations.

I used to drive out to Thatcher State Park to study/hike the Indian ladder trail when I was up at SUNY/ALS. I miss it up there, but can’t get my wife to agree to head north. 

[Snowlover11]

welp that’s a wrap, nice to see what snow looks like again!

[psv88]

Enough snow for kids to have a snowball fight. They’re happy. 32 and snow, 1 inch for the event

Hopefully my street’s good when I get back. It’s annoying enough around a hill and curvy on a normal day but icy it’s a nightmare.

Roads are fine lol. Hopefully will get more than this later in the winter…

That's  cool. I'm about 8 miles northwest of Thatcher. The LP extends past Thatcher to the Mohawk now but admittedly a good chunk of it still follows roads in places on this northern extension. I went to SUNYA also but later 80 to early 90s. 

[psv88]

1.0” for the event total. Have a great Sunday all. 

[sussexcountyobs]

So far event total 9".

Still snowing very lightly, but sky is getting dark again so who knows?

[Islandersguy]

Still snowing in White Plains. 

[L.I.Pete]

About an inch and still coming down pretty good in Port Jeff Station. Nice to see.

Photos from the recent storm. First is from Near Harriman, NY. The second and third are from Middletown, NY.

[EastonSN+]

So BDR has 3 and finally ended their streak. 

Did HPN also receive an accumulation? 

[wishcast_hater]

Finished with 11 inches. Best time I had in the snow in over 3 years.
