Yes, that's correct! Not sure where you were living at the time Stephen but I measured 7.5" living right smack in the middle of Lanco. I did not have thundersnow from that storm locally.

Step up your game friend. Wait - you might have missed out on it. I'm sorry.

Oh my do I remember that storm well! Picked up 7.5" where I lived at the time...what I remember best is how cold it was. For being in the first half of November, it was cold powder. Really cool storm. Part I didn't remember was how much more they got south of the M/D line.

Would not be surprised if SPC nudged the SLGT area further north later on:

Looks like a nice area of moderate rain currently over east central MD should move in to areas east of the river in the next hour or two. Having said that, it's picked up a little here now and I'm up to .06"

Light rain and 57 - humid as well. Just picked up the first hundredth of an inch for the event.

The 76ers are abysmal. Playing an average team who played last night and yet are still getting embarrassed. At least I have nothing financial invested in this team.

I do too...his call might end up being pretty close.

Really nice day out there - sunny and 61 here as well. Just a few high clouds from Nicole visible on the southern horizon...they should be filling in and thickening as the afternoon progresses.

You don't have to read too far down to get the boo news:

Most of what I've read so far regarding winter - storms may initially appear on/off the east coast and will trend further west in subsequent model runs. A lot of cutters on the menu. I know that's MU's strong take.

Another cutback in QPF this morning from WPC - I'm forecast to get 1" - 1.25" now. Far cry from the 3"+ just 48 hours ago.

Some of the higher terrain of western NY is about to be on the receiving end of this phenomena...

Hardly - the first 11" of snow came from over 2" of QPF. Saw mountain reports that they were ecstatic because even though the snowfall totals were less than forecast, the first part of the storm was basically white concrete, which is great for building a solid base out on the hill. (I love how they refer to the 11,000' mountain "the hill".

@paweather Mammoth Lakes "only" picked up 49" of snow from this latest storm. It was an underperformer by a couple of feet. (it is still snowing lightly, so pretty good chance they get to 50") Imagine getting a 49" snowstorm that underdelivered?

Very likely correct.

They played their best game of the season so far last night. Having said that, the Blues aren't good and I still think this team is grossly undermanned. However, they are fun to watch and the effort is there. And of course in hockey...great goaltending will steal a team that lacks talent some wins. Not to mention it's nice to have 16 points already.

WPC cut my projected rainfall from 3"+ to 1.5"...

Check out the summit cam at 11,053' - that's what 4-5"/hour snow looks like with 50mph winds.

Funny thing is, they literally got a brand newly designed web page yesterday, I did not verify that you can take control of the cams on the new site. I'm on this website about 300 days a year. LOL

If you go to the Mammoth website, there are quite a few cams - and you have the ability to take control and rotate them yourself. (when someone else isn't)

57 here - looks like that will be the high, which was exactly what was forecast. Bubbler turns from the summer cool dude to the offseason heat miser.

https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/the-village Here's a webcam from where I'll be staying in May - so far, about 30" has fallen with another 20" expected. Believe it or not, it's underperforming...(the 17" total was from 7:00AM this morning)

Elliott on Nicole and the weekend: By the end of the week, my attention turns to the remnants of what is currently Subtropical Storm Nicole several hundred miles east of the Bahamas. Nicole is projected to make landfall along the east coast of Florida Wednesday night as a strong tropical storm or Category 1 hurricane. It may remain over the Florida Peninsula on Thursday or briefly emerge into the eastern Gulf of Mexico before setting its sights on the Southeast. Nicole's northward turn from Thursday night into Friday can be attributed to strong, west-to-southwesterly flow in advance of a deep, upper-level trough (dip in the Jet Stream) moving into the central U.S. A strong cold front at the leading edge of the trough will traverse the eastern half of the nation from west-to-east from Thursday night through Saturday night and ultimately absorb Nicole. As this occurs, Nicole's remnant low pressure system is expected to accelerate northeastward, reaching the southern New England coastline no later than Saturday afternoon. Nicole's track will play a large role in determining how much rain falls across southern PA and northern MD on Friday and Friday night. It's certainly within the realm of possibilities that Nicole's remnant low passes close by or directly overhead. Regardless of the exact track, rain should overspread the region from south-to-north late Thursday night into Friday morning and continue through Friday night. The heaviest rain should hold off until after the Friday afternoon commute, but I'd still expect slowdowns and use extra caution on the wet roadways. Rain should taper off rather quickly from southwest-to-northeast late Friday night into Saturday morning but not before at least 2-3 inches falls across the Lower Susquehanna Valley. Due to another stretch of abnormally dry conditions since Ian's remnants in early October, Nicole's rainfall should be largely beneficial. Barring an unexpected slowdown in Nicole's forward speed, flooding shouldn't be a concern except in low-lying and poor-drainage areas. Moist, southerly flow ahead of Nicole will prevent this from being a "cold rain" like what ocurred with Ian in early October. Highs should easily reach the low-to-mid 60s on Friday, and dewpoints will briefly surge back into the upper 50s or low 60s, as well. A strong pressure gradient, or change in pressure, between Nicole's remnant low pressure system and an area of high pressure building into the northern Plains will be responsible for strong, gusty winds on Saturday. The cold front that Nicole merges with should move through eastern PA immediately after the rain tapers off. In what meteorologists call a "dam-breaking event," the drastically colder air west of the mountails will crash into areas farther east on the wings of howling, west-to-northwesterly winds. These events are notorious for producing dangerous crosswinds with gusts up to 50 mph.. sufficient to also cause sporadic tree and powerline damage. At the very least, it'll be necessary to "hold onto your hats" Saturday and prepare for a dramatic shift in the weather pattern. Temperatures may still reach or exceed 60°F Saturday morning but should "fall off the cliff" Saturday afternoon or evening in the wake of the cold front. By Sunday morning, temperatures may only be in the upper 20s or low 30s as an Arctic air mass settles over the Great Lakes region. Due to the combination of strong, west-to-northwesterly winds and very cold air moving over the still-warm waters of the Great Lakes, the first lake-effect snow event of the season is likely from Saturday night into Monday downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario. Although flurries shouldn't reach southeastern PA, mostly cloudy and blutery conditions will accompany highs no better than the 40s and wind chills in the 30s Sunday afternoon. In a matter of a week, we'll be trading shorts, t-shirts, and sunscreen for coats, gloves, and chapstick.. what a rude awakening and downright nasty plunge into winterlike weather! -- Elliott

You've had snow for like 2 months already - probably mow less than 10 times a year in your subarctic climate.
