That’s my exit. I’ll give you directions to my house. 1/2 mile away. I’ll even tell you where the key is. Over 1” and puking here in Great Neck

Yea hyde only got around 5 here, it was just to my north that heavy band but i expected 3-6 so all is good.

Just went back. Soon as I hit the Suffolk sign all rain. Then as I pass the commack exit, a convoy of DOT trucks loaded with salt got on heading to Nassau

I graduated this past December. I will be going back in August for grad school for 1 year. But in the meantime I am studying each day for the CPA

With temps in the 20s would easily have 3” here already, instead have about 1”. It’s puking huge flakes for 2 hours now but just compacting. Ratio has to be like 6:1

Just a few light flurries on and off.Measured 3.375 inches .Cloudy, calm, barometer 30.48 F.

Yup, that's exactly what happened. The band was from Poughkeepsie north. My daughter drove up route 9 from Fishkill last night and said a few miles north of Poughkeepsie Galleria is where it was accumulating. Measured 7.5 in Hyde Park.

Incredibly weird storm. Doc snowed for nearly 24 hours and wound up with a little over 3”. Here it rained on and off and we are just about at about 1.5” of heavy real wet slushy snow in under three hours. Then a 5 minute drive south and 15 minute drive east it’s rain.

According to the radar, the changeover is coming into suffolk now. This radar has been accurate all morning. Good program

Intensity here has just now lightened a bit. Interesting to see if it melts instantly as it ends soon

Doc how is Middletown right near you over 6” but you just over 3”?

Snow is in fact melting pretty rapidly as the intensity decreases.  Now only light snow.  Still get to add over an inch to my yearly total.  Now up to 26” with February to go. Hope to make a run at 40” after this next 8-10 day thaw.

There was a sharp cutoff to the N and W of me Jimmy.Hyde, jimv and Damian were all 5 plus in those areas as well.All day long yesterday I was just outside the snow from the front.It just never got into gear here,just light snow and I'm glad to get the 3 inches.On to the next one!!!

Right, Jimmy, and a little north and west of me, 5, 6 and 7 inches were reported.

Ok Doc. You’ll get em next time. I actually thought you were pulling a zookeeper on us to rile up ole CP

Finally changed to all snow here

LOL, Jimmy, I actually went out to shovel the walk and used my ruler,LOL.I must say I had eyeballed 3.25 so I wasn't that far off.CP a little north of me he might have done better.Funny thing is, before I joined the old Channel 7 Board, after over 40 years of observing snowstorms in this area, I never even bothered getting interested unless they were talking 12 inches plus.Now, with this board, it's fun to see the results all over the area and to see just how interesting these snowstorms are with the different amounts of snow over a wide area.On to the next one!!!!!

Yes it is Jim sad to say so we go into hibernation for a week and see what is what. All mest I have talked to are saying Feb through early march we rebound and nicely as a good number of indicators are pointed towards.

NICE!

Gotta call you out on this one. I am in the town right next to you, and no way no how is there anything close to 1" to 1.5" on the ground. It has been snowing steadily for over 3 hrs. and NOTHING has stuck to the ground at all. There is nothing there to be measured.

GreyBeard look at the picture I posted on the last page. That was at 9:45. It snowed hard for another hour and a half after that. It’s still snowing. You think I’m going to lie about an inch?
