A few of my friends took a pretty big loss with workhorse. The USPS contract was supposed to go to them but ended up going elsewhere. 

Yup, I was one of those people to.... I thought that one was a given...

I looked into crypto a bit back at the beginning of the year but E*TRADE didn’t trade the couple I was looking at so I just stuck with traditional stocks. Given Biden coming into office I went heavy into some alternative energy stocks and a couple commercial electric car/truck companies. That’s all pretty much blown up in my face so far....

Up to 4.5” here at 1030.  Had an hour of huge puff bombs but didn’t really add up to much.  Lilacs are really starting to droop.  

We’ve currently got the big fluff bombs here

Measured 3 different spots 4.5-5” on each one... all in the grass. Some white spots on the asphalt driveway and concrete sidewalk but far from covered.

I’m a fan of documentaries, so I’ll take recommendations. 
I’m currently laid up after neurosurgery last week and So far I’ve watched the one on Epstein, the college admission debacle, the the gymnastics one and I’ve got one more episode of the Jordan mini series. I’ve found all of them pretty good so far

Haha I was thinking the same spot 

Stupid wind events... every god damn time it goes over 40mph my power goes out and I’m on a pretty decent line... pain in my ass...this will be fun setting up generator in this crap....

I'm surprised more of you snow weenies don't do more winter activities. Almost every weekend you'll catch me downhill boarding/skiing, cross country skiing, hiking, playing ice hockey or snowmobiling. That's how I get my fill of winter. Staying at home doesn't cut it for me. I play ice hockey every Saturday, usually go to holiday once a night during the week and try to get out and hike/cross country at local areas once a week. 

I started snowmobiling in 97 at 14, but had to give it up in ‘16. My lack of time due to work demands in the winter and the disappointing storms like what we just had was driving me crazy. I’d get so grumpy  because of it. Now I just vacations to WY for a week and ride.
Now when the disappointments like yesterday happen I can just shrug it off.

Im hoping to be able to move Wy/co area in the next 5-10 years and get back into riding.

Nw side of roc did get a foot. Reports from Hilton hamlin.

I know I said earlier that I was thinking about 7” here. After cleaning for 2 hrs and taking some measurements I actually came in at about 9.5-10”...

Niagara getting some nice enhancement too. Northern Niagara will exceed a foot with next band moving through. Someone in WNY actually did get a foot from this. 

When I left home at 2am I had 5-6” and it was still snowing decently but tiny flakes. Judging by my cameras I’d say 7” is a good call.
 I’ve heard nothing from friends I know towards lyndonville about 18+.

No sir..I'm about a couple miles from there..I used to work right across the street at the Fulton group lol

I'm not even sure if it's considered the"dot" but it's where they keep most of their sand, salt and some of their trucks..

It's on the outskirts of the village..

Ahh gotcha. Been 2 years but delivered  salt to both of them ...

back to regularly scheduled discussion...

I live right across from the DOT and even they help..

He took all the snow that got plowed in front of my driveway and moved it lol

Over by the transfer station?

You think the super res reflectivity is too low res?  It's usually in high sensitivity mode, I haven't found anything better.  I think its great

I’ve been trying to get on board with the wunderground radar but that thing showed rain for most of today...

not overly detailed but for me this one is h go old enough most of the time...

https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=BUF-N0Q-1-48

as for the snow, still snow in the air but probably about done... handful of measurements in the yard gives me a 7” average... I’ll take it... Batavia easily had a foot when I was coming home around noon

Yes, I’m about 400 yards from Smallwood elementary on corner of Burroughs and N Burbank. You’re right, same heading as you for lake effect. Been holding steady here at about 2” per. 

Off topic sorry, but does anyone know if there’s a way to get other people’s location (that would show up under their avatar when they post something) to display if I’m using a using the site via a phone?? Look through the settings but came up empty. Thanks  

Giant parachutes falling at 1230 when I left for work. Maybe 2” down and snowing at 1” per hr....snow had stopped by the time I got to Batavia

Yeah I meant just New York. I remember a storm when I lived in Buffalo (Miller B, not LES) - was pretty late in March of 2010, 2011, 2012 maybe? - that dumped about 2 feet there.

March 2009 ? 9-11 I think

Checking out the webcam in Oswego it looks like a whiteout, yet they aren't under anything.

I swear at least for my back yard and this especially pertains to lake effect, if they issue a advisory or warning, I plan for little.  If the setup seems possible but no headline just about guaranteed it will over perform. It happened twice just last week, with that shallow lake effect both times they put on a wwa the snow died off. Dropped it picked back up.

I didn’t have any expectations for today, I’m sitting here looking at 3/4”-1” hr snow fall.
