bunch i haven't seen before

Maybe Mitch will get 18" in 3 hours again..lol, or whatever the insane total was a few years ago.

Yep, run after run it has had that. 17F. Coating down. -SN

Yea, that's insane out there. Feels like it's been a long time since State College area has had a big hit. Supposedly a really bad accident on I-80 in PA too..like 50 cars or something.

Yea, incoming for Southern CT:

Can confirm your suspicions--virga only so far.

Didn't ORH go like 10 years without a 12" event? like early 80s to early 90s maybe. Seems unfathomable for that to happen now.

Took the kids for a quick swim up at Stratton. Pool around 80F, snowmaking in overdrive this week with hopefully some natural help tonight. So close to the fringe here, could be arctic sand, could be on the edge of deform too.

12/5 here in SVT. We wait. Radar juicing up a bit down near DC/Baltimore.

Thanks for supplying the cold air for the storm guys .. balmy 6F here.

Yea, my hunch is whoever is under the spot where the western deform band stops it's N/NW progression will be the overall jack possibly. You get an extra few hours of 15 or 20:1 feathers as its pivots and then rotates back through. ALY mentioned strong lift intercepting the dendritic growth zone, so snow growth should not be an issue. Whether that band is over your head, ENY, SE NY. Albany, SVT, CON, dendrite, Central Mass--who knows. Seems like those outer deform bands always end up slightly NW of modeled. Feel like we have seen that in the past few years where the modeled QPF is in SNE/CNE and then Oneonta, NY ends up with 34" of deform delight. Hopefully have nots are not as extreme as Boxing day.

Good trends for us north of the SNE border. Hopefully we can get a nice deform band to rotate through and rot. Maybe the SE ticks will happen overnight, who knows, hopefully not.

I mean I kind of get it, it literally may not snow again for a year or two in some spots if things don't break right. It was funny seeing you guys all toss the NAM and the NE forum saying '"crushed".

Mid atl forum is always good for a laugh. I hop in there from time to time to lurk..so much anger and anxiety...lol

Soooooo, your not buying the IBM solution??

. 6" today. Whitening to landscape which is nice. But as Gene mentioned, screw zone so far this season is SVT over through central NH which looks to continue with this event.

So this guy strolls up today, squats and takes a nice piss on my daughter's hat she left in the yard. bastard! Got to figure out how to upload the video, pretty funny.

Just virga so far here

Just give me a minute to grab the Netscape 72hr...

Verbatim, it is still slightly better where you are than 00z Euro.

We IBM... Grasping at anything north of the Mass border.

6Z weenie form earlier, looks better north of pike:

Got out early this AM before the FROPA and squeezed in hopefully last mountain bike ride of the year. Maybe also a lawn trim..ha.

Right, that is exactly what the ALY Mets said at the event, basically they realize this is strictly volunteer and the once a day clear would just be easier for the majority of observers, but said to do the 6 hour clear if you had the ability to. Seems now they want to be in line with COOP's which are once a day and to streamline all data--snowfall wise that is. Like you mentioned, the liquid equivalent really is the important part of the snowfall data.

@J.Spin --They were discussing 6 hour clears in the main discussion thread which we have discussed many times over the years. I just checked Cocorahs and saw this paragraph below, seems like new verbiage. I know in past years on the cocorahs website it has said in black and white that 6 hour clears were OK. When I went to a cocorahs event at NWS ALY( 2018 maybe?) I asked the ALY Mets specifically and they said 6 hour clears were OK and actually encouraged if you had the time and capability to do them. Looks like they added new bolded language below saying do not clear the board. Just curious if you are still going to do clears? I have done them since I joined 4-5 years ago, although not sure how many I am actually doing in a full season. "Observers in networks such as CoCoRaHS and the NWS Cooperative Network are required to take snowfall measurements once per day. During long duration events, snowfall may be measured at shorter intervals for the purpose of submitting a Significant Weather Report or reporting to the NWS, but the snowboard should NOT be cleared! The snowboard should be cleared only after your regular 24-hour observation. Some observers, such as at airports, may be directed by their servicing NWS offices to take 6-hourly measurements. However, CoCoRaHS and U.S. Cooperative stations are to make measurements every 24 hours."
