I luv where I live and BAM = New City, NY, recorded some of the highest snowfall in the region from the winter storm on January 25-26, 2026, with totals reaching 17.6 inches. This was the top, or near-top, total for New York State, following intense, fast-moving snow that created dangerous travel conditions throughout the Hudson Valley.

I have family stuck in Texas trying to get back to Florida. That’s not happening for a few days I don’t think. -
Yeah, surface temps != ratios. I remember a few years ago those kuchera maps gave me 10-12 in a WAA event, I ended up with around 7 and was disappointed. I like the approach old school mets like Bernie Rayno use. He uses models as tools to help make forecasts, but his #1 tool is the depth of knowledge and experience he has as a meteorologist who has been doing it for decades. I recall him mentioning in a video a week ago he believed the storm would take more of a northern track due to the overall setup and his previous experience as a meteorologist who has seen this setup before.

I don’t have a dedicated snowboard spot where I live for consistent measurements like the official OBS and COOP sites. I took 50 measurements in a nearby open baseball dirt field away from any obstructions which averaged at 9”. The field had completely lost any snowpack from the last event. Closer to the fence line the average was 10-12” with a maximum peak of 15” right behind the long fence. In closer to the houses here my average is also 10-12”. So I can understand the variability in the official NWS OBS from urban to rural locations and between the public, CO-OP, and other readings. Prior to this weekend I measured 13” from the collection of smaller events with marginal temperatures at times.

Some flurries here this morning. We must have had some freezing mist/drizzle overnight, as my car was coated in ice. Meanwhile, my flight to the American Meteorological Society conference has been canceled now a second time... -

Same here in Barre Town. Measured 5" last night and another 5 this morning.

Very even snowfall distribution. 11” town at 750ft and 11” at 3,000ft. No change with elevation. I saw Jay showed 8-12”… wonder if they somehow saw a big change with elevation. Not seeing a range at all here.

That's always a possibility with these, That's why for here anyways, I prefer Miller B's because they tend to get going further north around our latitude -
The sleet didn’t knock the depth down here either, guess there was 2” or so of sleet but it all counts and you can see now how much denser it made the snowpack.
-
I'm sure my luck will be similar. Since I work in Asheville, they will expect me there tomorrow. They got nothing basically.

After yesterday's 11th winter event of the season which totaled 12.8" of sleet/snow here in East Nantmeal we are at 230% of normal snowfall at 34.1". This is about 96% of our annual average snowfall. Today will be the "warmest" day of the week with temperatures hopefully making it up into the low to mid 20's. For the rest of the week temperatures will likely remain in the mid to upper teens for highs and lows near or below zero for much of the area. In fact, here in EN the NWS has a forecast low of 5 below zero on Thursday morning - in my 23 years at this location I have never recorded a temperature that cold. After some flurries today we look dry for the rest of the work week. Some models are hinting and our 12th winter event of the season next weekend....but we don't shovel or scrape model snow. -
this could be one of are best winter sin a very long time..

18” here….great storm. Heavy snow for almost the whole thing, with varying snowgrowth. Just finished digging out…18” is a lot of snow..forgot how much it really is. Buried. That brings us to 40” on the season now. Only 10” more for a normal snow season here. I think we can easily pull that off with a whole second half of astronomical winter to go. Obviously way above average here now YTD.
