Definitely a solid winter. 86.4” on the season here. The snow pack persistence has been excellent. Will likely have over 2 months of continuous snow cover. Don’t see anyway we don’t hit triple digits before the seasons over. Hell we may hit it before the end of February.
I’ve had a continuous pack here since early Jan. Looks like we’ll be going at least 2 months with pack on the ground as the next few weeks and possibly beyond are looking quite good.
Snow pack held on no problem here. Still at least 6” of pack. Huge difference between my place and my work in Hamburg with much more snow otg here. Must have been that extra lake effect event where I got over 14” in between synoptic storms that really helped because the difference between here and Hamburg is unreal for such a short distance. Snowing nicely out now.
Gives me 3-4” verbatim while 30 miles to my north IAG sees 12” plus. Gonna be a crazy cut off somewhere. I’d feel a lot better if I was ThinkSnow18. I could see him getting 6-8” while I see 2” of snow and an inch of sleet.
Would be some problems if that came to fruition. Fully not expecting even close to that much. Also gotta think these models just spit out total QPF with rain falling above the surface but temps at or below freezing. With runoff and the amount of time it takes for ice to accrete I don’t see this being anywhere even close to right, although it is interesting to watch.
Not really they look pretty similar. Looks like a ton of rain followed by a little freezing rain, then sleet, and 1-2” of snow. Actually looking forward to these warm temps. It feels so good to go outside and not be freezing cold.
Looking better for sure for a 3-5” snow for the Niagara Frontier. At least we’ll replenish some of what we lose from the rain though I’m sure we’ll lose more than 5” of pack. Still sitting on 11” of total glacier pack here.
Give me one whopper in March and I’ll be happy with this winter. At 80” now so give me a good 20” storm in March and I’d call this winter a good one for me personally.
