Don't right off a Blizzard Warning. I know it's somewhat symbolic but...will pump us up even more! Gonna be nowcast in 18 hours. 

Gotta change my Benny Hill. Gonna work on it.

That'll never happen, lol!

Not a zero chance but close to it. A man can dream. I am in my 50's but that is on the bucket list. Been on this forum for years including Eastern but read more than post. You guys are "Freak"ing awesome! and I live close. God bless.

Wow on the FV3. If winds could crank a bit more that could lead to Blizzard Warnings. Getting pumped for tomorrow. I want a goddamn Blizzard Warning for Onondaga County!

I'm trying to imagine if the Euro / Kuchera totals (40") materialized for Syracuse area followed by LES for a couple days. The mind boggles.

Too bad it's not Thurs or Friday...

Same here. That would be incredible. Reading back a few posts, I think the last time Onondaga County had a Blizzard Warning was March 93. Oswego County got upgraded either last year or the year before after initially having a Winter Storm Warning. A few more jumps northwest and we taint on this one

2" of new snow in Phoenix. Gotta be 1" per hour rate here.

oops!

I started snowmobiling in the early 90's, sold my sled in the spring of 2017 and for the 2nd winter I don't own one, i love the sport but don't have the time to ride, always have to trailer north to ride, don't know if I'll ever have another sled. Getting so every year i hate the cold more and more. 

BTW don't know wtf people are riding on but just checked the webcam at Flat Rock a little while ago and sure enough sleds parked out front. Some people will ride on anything i guess. 

Holy crap. Just checked. I don't think one club is open right now. Checked webcam up there yesterday had grass with a thin blown snow top. Can't be good; riding seasonal roads I guess.  I have been riding since I was about ten but I am in my early fifties now. Friends are selling sleds so not sure how long I will still stay in it. Getting tired of towing a trailer as well. Happy New Year.

Another very uninteresting slow start to the snowmobile season. They're practically giving snowmobiles away at some shops in the area cuz they just can't sell them anymore. Ottawa's snow lovers are happy campers this year that's for sure!

You bet! Bought a leftover two years ago for 4500 off msrp. This is one of the worst I can remember for the Tug and Adirondacks. When Flat Rock on top of the Hill is grass going into January you got troubles. I tell my friends that snowmobiling is dying a slow death south of 45N. Almost not worth it anymore living in CNY.

5" in Phoenix so far. Lot of graupel last 15 minutes. 

4" in Phoenix so far. Not gonna last much longer but dam, sure is pretty outside!

14" for Phoenix as well. Went to bed with about 1.5" and some sleet mixing around 10 PM so it cranked overnight.

There has definitely been a drought for big nor Easter snowstorms hitting interior NY State. Esp west of about Oneonta. They used to be more common for sure. I'm sure you will get a good one again soon enough. At my time at Cornell in Ithaca, I was lucky to be there during the 1/3/03 storm. Great deformation job in central NY. I was doing a winter session class...was kind of eerie given that the campus and collegetown was like 90% empty. But a great way to experience our best synoptic snowstorm in my time there.

I had trouble remembering that one; had to look it up,  probably because we ended up with less than 10". Southern NY and East-Central NY got pounded. 38" in Cherry Valley(northwest of Oneonta I think). Hope you are right! I went to college in Oneonta and Oswego so I have had my fair share over the years but the big synoptic ones with 2 to 5 inch per hour rates are the best. Take care.  

I remember that 12/28/97 storm. Was supposed to be like 3-6/4-8" on the Cape...a rain/snow mix changing to heavy snow. I think it ended up as a sloppy coating to an inch. I was down at grandparents in Yarmouth for that one on Christmas break in highschool. Parts of SE MA off the Cape though managed 3-4". I remember seeing the snow through Taunton, Franklin, etc before it fizzled to nothing by the time I was back up in ORH.

 

Then the monster 12/29-30/97 storm hit...we were supposed to get all rain in ORH in that as it was a Hudson Valley runner, but we got like 4" on the front end of total paste and then it flipped to marginal ZR for a while before finally turning to like 33F rain before the dryslot...we never actually got warm sectored at the surface...and ended up with a net gain in that storm somehow...we already had a lot of snow on the ground from the 12/23/97 surprise.

Hey guys, Moderate poster in the Upstate NY forum but that was one of my favorite snowstorms(12/29-12/30) for Phoenix N.Y.(just north of Syracuse. 26" of snow from that one and was our last county wide snow emergency(17 years). Last Blizzard Warning was back in March, 93. I feel like you guys have had 10 Blizzard Warnings or more to my 1 in 23 years!
