1.1" when it is all said and done. I'm at peace with it

[snofan]

Nice...not many models had the widespread snow up there. I do find it weird that models constantly fail in your area.
Glad to see you back!

Hey thanks tele junkie! Here's the official grant totals. We got about 4" at my house.

The following are unofficial observations from the snowfall Monday
through Monday night. Appreciation is extended to Highway
departments... cooperative and cocorahs observers... Skywarn spotters
and media for these reports. This summary is also available on our
home Page at weather.Gov/Burlington

[snofan]

weren't you here during '07-'08? I don't think there was more frustration that that winter for the rest of us

My eyeballs obviously need more snow training...just over 3" to report as a final. We did end as some heavy sleet so "maybe" that compressed the snow and I can surmise, cough cough...depressed totals here.

Oh I was just starting out at that time. LOL 07-08 was awesome up here dude! It was one of our snowiest winters on record.

Seriously though, Burlington, had a record snowy 3 month period Dec-Feb...

Looks like a batch of rain heading down. But you're eyes will probably see the 70s temps first then realize its still 30s in New England, then realize the batch of rain. lol

[NorEaster07]

Should we just extend this OBS thread for tomorrows storms as well?

Upton High Wind Watch

* HAZARDS...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

* WINDS...SOUTH 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH.

* TIMING...WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY FROM LATE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT.

* IMPACTS...THESE STRONG WINDS...IN COMBINATION WITH HEAVY RAIN...COULD BRING DOWN WHOLE TREES...LARGE TREE LIMBS...POWER LINES AND UNSECURED OUTDOOR OBJECTS. THIS COULD POSE A HAZARD TO ANYONE OUT DRIVING OR WALKING WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND TO HOUSES AND OTHER STRUCTURES NEAR LARGER TREES.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBANY HAS ISSUED A FREEZING RAIN
ADVISORY FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 1000 FEET IN LITCHFIELD AND

EVENING.

* LOCATIONS...ELEVATIONS ABOVE 1000 FEET IN BERKSHIRE AND

* ICE ACCUMULATIONS...UP TO ONE TENTH OF AN INCH.

* TIMING...FREEZING RAIN DEVELOPING BETWEEN 5 AND 7 PM...ENDING BY

THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY ABOVE FREEZING
TEMPERATURES AND SOME SNOW MELT. IN ADDITION...THE GROUND IS
FROZEN ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA.

* THE COMBINATION OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW MELT ON
FROZEN GROUND WILL LIKELY CAUSE LOCALIZED SMALL STREAM FLOODING.

NO LARGER RIVER FLOODING IS FORECAST BY THE RIVER FORECAST
CENTER. HOWEVER...LATER FORECASTS SHOULD BE MONITORED.

Yeah, that's headed toward me. Stumbled on the batch of rain while playing around on my phone. thought I needed to hit refresh and that it was an old radar from August or something. I did not expect it. Unless it breaks up it could be crossing NNJ during the ride home. Just the precursor to tomorrow nites expected horrible ride home and coming off the heels of last nites slick ride home. I almost like the nasty cold weather better at this point.

[loafer1989]

Interestingly the temperature here has dropped to 32F. I am not sure that's enough for icing later on when the rain moves in.

[tool483]

under a freezing rain adv

Not sure it was needed here in the valley but maybe temps will drop a bit with the precip moving in?

sitting at 32.9, DP of 25.2

Temp has dropped a degree the past two hours though

[telejunkie]

Currently 33F with a DP of 29F. Not positive about fzr down here in the valley tonight but will be an issue up in the local hilltowns. Will be monitoring the next batch of precip as it moves in...

[LoveNYCSnow]

rain continues here, temp keeps dropping, now back down into the 30s. Snowcover continues to dwindle away.

[STEVE392]

Looks like a batch of rain heading down. But you're eyes will probably see the 70s temps first then realize its still 30s in New England, then realize the batch of rain. lol

rain hit me here in mahwah around 6pm with a monsoon!
