    How much new snow in the HP's?

    What's the best way to find out how much it has snowed in the past 24, 48, 72 hours in the HP's. I've got this link but it's too general:

    Stick a yardstick in the snow every 24, 48, 72 hours!!

      Neil,

      If you go to the home page at:



      take a look at NYS Daily Snow Observations....
      I believe Newcomb is listed, you can also look at "Northeastern U.S. Snow Depth", it's an interactive map that will show various parameters for snow.

      There's a lot of info if you look around, feel free to PM me if you have any Q's.

        This year the rule of thumb that I've developed is "above 3,000' double to valley snow depth". It's been tried and true. 3,000 feet is some magical temp line and the snow is noticeably deeper above that elevation. So if Placid get 6" today, there will be 12" or more fresh powder above 3,000'.
