I'm posting because this question seems to recur and this post will be searchable on the board (if people take the trouble).
Anyway, this morning (9 AM) was a perfect example of the northern/southern Westchester weather divide. In Bedford / Pound Ridge roads were very slushy, plows were out and roads were being salted. On on I-684 north of exit 3 (Armonk) there was generally about 5-6 inches of wet, slushy snow. Between exit 3 and exit 2 (the Airport) this reduced to about 1 inch. By I-287 and south there wasn't a trace of snow. By comparison, Ridgefield CT had about 6" of much drier snow.
I didn't think we got taht much snow here, but here are the official stats:
The latest snowfall reports from The National Weather Service in Upton, NY: Yorktown Heights, 7.5"... Westtown, 7.0"... Seymour, 6.8"... Southbury, 6.8"... West Milford, 6.5"... Cornwall, 6.4"...
Goshen, 6.2"... Chester, 6.2"... Harriman, 6.2"... Waterbury, 6.0"...
Bethany, 6.0"... Newburgh, 6.0"... Middletown, 6.0"... Ringwood, 6.0"... Chappaqua, 6.0"... Washingtonville, 6.0"... Florida, 5.6"...
Danbury, 5.6"... Shelton, 5.4"... Carmel, 5.1"... Newtown, 4.9"...
East Haddam, 4.9"... Gilman, 4.8"... Cornwall-on-hudson, 4.5"...
Tuxedo, 4.5"... Meriden, 4.5"... Naugatuck, 4.5"... Lisbon, 4.5"...
Weston, 4.2"... Cromwell, 4.0"... Colchester, 4.0"... North Haven, 4.0"... Beacon Falls, 3.8"... Armonk, 3.0"... North Branford, 2.5"...
New Canaan, up to 3.8".
Much of it got washed away when it turned to rain mid-morning.
Those "spotter reports" even claimed 1" for Yonkers as a 6am spotter report, I didn't see any snow on the ground out my window at 7am (I live in Mt. Vernon), though I did hear sleet against the window in bed at 6am. On the other hand, I was up at the Galleria in White Plains today and coming back on 287 to the Sprain (the Bronx River Pkwy was flooded of course.....went up with Central Ave because I had another errand there) I did see some patches of snow along the Sprain between 287 and just south of the rt. 100B exit so I guess the even further north places really did get those totals. I also have a friend who lives in the northernmost part of Stamford who complained schools were open on the basis of it being rain south of the Merritt Pkwy but she had complete snow and ice to clean, shovel and deal with.
I think except for some private/parochial schools Tarrytown was the "southernmost" place in the county to have a delay or more.
