gravitylover Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I only got a dusting but it's so nice to see an old skool clipper pass through. Maybe I can break the 20" mark for the season tonight/tomorrow ... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Back from GA with a combination of pollen and now brine pretreatment all over my car, that’s a first for me. I have to agree with the post earlier, personally I think a fresh snowfall on top of snowpack is just about as good as it gets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I'm thinking this will come in cold enough that it should be able to be cleared with a leaf blower. I'm charging up a few batteries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2.1 inch final here, now 29.3 through the season. Snowfall at least near normal now for this point in the season, temperatures still ridiculously above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 2.3” here with light snow still but the sun is also out, don’t expect any more accumulation. 31.8” on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2 1/2" on the previously cleared slate patio and 3" on the board on snow. It stayed cold here right up until the snow wound down but when the blue patches started showing through it jumped 5° real quick. I think that this is as wintry as it's looked around here in a few years. It's kinda nice. I'm at 22.? for the season so not terrible considering we have a good month of potential left but I'm not feeling another ~26" to get to average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 All of these popcorn snow showers and I barely had a few flurries I always like when a bit of fresh whiteness is added to my snowbanks after I'm done shoveling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasiluvsnow Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 IF someone like myself has been too lazy to keep track of it = Is there a site that monitors or keeps up to date snow totals for Rockland County ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe there are any but @BxEngine would know for sure. Even if there is one who knows how it compares to where you are. KMGJ is two or so miles away as the crow flies and the differences between there and here are interesting, no snow measurements there though, just looking at temps and rainfall. Legoland is seven miles away and the differences can be eye opening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Poconos there have been almost nonstop snow squalls all day and there was a big pileup. Funny thing is, the snow squalls weren't showing up on radar for some reason. Here on Long Island we had light snow almost all day (up to 3 pm) and that didn't show up well on radar either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something in the works, we have a bunch of new weather stations on firehouses and sanitation garages throughout rockland and some will be monitored in real time so we’ll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning Rich, I hope all is well my friend. Not much to report here, down to 4" at the snow stake but plenty of bare spots now. Low was only 23 this morning, up to 40 now. The previous two mornings lows were 13 and 12 with highs in the upper 30s. As for seasonal snowfall I'm at exactly 29.5", which is just slightly below normal now. When compared to the NWS seasonal average I am only .5" below normal as of today, when compared to my running totals, which go back to 2005, I am now 2.5" below normal. Three of the last four years have really done a number on my seasonal snowfall average, and it doesn't look like this year is going to help it any unless we get something big in mid-March. Not holding my breath though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Backyard still 100% covered but front yard torched out with the sun this week. It's been cold at night but not really. 20" for the year which is 3" behind last year's total and about the same as the total the year before if I remember right. A far cry from the previous 48+"/yr average. I think for a while up to the early 2000s my total was in the low 40s but it bumped up nicely.

I am 100% sure we had more snow than Binghamton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Well, if it's over that burst of crazy heavy snow with huge flakes last night was a reasonable way to end it. On to gardening season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
