Which radars cover Ticonderoga?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 48 miles north-northeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Ticonderoga | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 48 mi north-northeast | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KENX Albany, NY | 93 mi south-southwest | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 113 mi west | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
