A little late but I had 0.5 here...came down pretty hard with big flakes...went to buy more ketchup and took a picture at Wal Mart at the height of it. Awesome winter locally, now near 60", was clutch since 2018 was a downslope fest in Ulster. Think the key for absolute zero elevation is no snow in March.

I'm not far from legitimate puking snow territory at the moment. Really coming down nicely. 

Pretty solid rates here, not quite what Dutchess is having but well over a half foot OTG out there.

Thats incredible, theyve been having a run of hot summers lately.  I wonder if that is any indication of how our summer will be

Man Federer sure could use a break from this heat, looks to be struggling vs a guy half his age...

Looks like the Hudson Valley might be about to dry slot, which may be a good thing...ZR wise...currently 16 with moderate ZR...

Still all snow here 10 mins north of New Paltz, bout time I didn't get shafted...8" OTG

It goes above freezing to Binghamton. 

I thought this was a CAD situation though? In that case BGM can blowtorch into the upper 30s with Poughkeepsie solidly below freezing...

I hear NAM is warm, don't have maps 

I think for the Hudson Valley the net effect is the same, still a sleetfest like every run has been

Congrats!  sorry I can't help you with Fleet either.

Thought it went alright, took a weather test which would be easy for most in this board, stuff like which side of a hurricane has the strongest winds, is brighter colder or warmer on IR, think I stand a good chance of getting the job, like Rob said little worried about the pay though...

Hey guys, what's up, just got my Master's at WCSU doing my thesis on CAD in the HV. Hoping for a good winter. Interviewing with Fleet WX in POU today, can't seem to get in the door there and been 5x. Anyone else ever dealt with Fleet before? They seem obsessed with their background.

About 2" OTG in Kingston with at least moderate snow.

Yeah, that's incredible. Like you said, the potential for a proficient band was well advertised by the mesos, but I never would have guessed we'd see a big swath of 20+ totals... more like a couple isolated spots. There were even a couple 20.0" reports in northern Dutchess and Columbia, but both were sourced from facebook and end in "point zero" so who knows about those, lol. Really nice performer for the interior.

13.1" as I prepare for bed. One of those little low-level HV convergence bands has set up over me as they often do in the wake of big coastal lows... probably a few tenths of an inch per hour, just enough to keep my total from being final.

Yeah still going here too but I'm calling it, might go into tonight, added like 1/2"...9.5 total

Great storm going out there right now, good way to make up for the downsloping last week...hoping that band will continue right over where its at! 6" with a lot more in the clouds

Winter storm warning now.  Puking snow here in town of Poughkeepsie 

Dang. Poughkeepsie owns Kingston in these types of setups. All rain here with temps in the upper 30s. Yeah I think it is the down sloping....

KPOU hasn't reported snow since the Great Data Gap™ of 1993-2000. If it's just for a school paper and not a rigorously scrutinized scientific undertaking, check out some of the co-op stations on xmACIS. IIRC, the Poughkeepsie co-op (POUN6 I wanna say?) has pretty solid looking snowfall records for the last 10 years or so, but before that it's hit-or-miss. 

Yea that's the one I was thinking of...haven't been there in awhile but looks like it goes back to 2006...should be good

The valley floor has been unable to pull in cold air in some storms like this with strong dynamics in storms past, but this looks different

12z NAM has me thinking its 2/26/10 all over again. Jeez thats a paste job. If the outcome is anything close to what its printing then I better prime the generator. 

Hope not, I reached 43 during that storm, thankfully 18z is 1-2F colder

Wow ECM and NAM look good. Up to a foot for the LHV.

Random question to the mets in here...does anyone know where you can find historical snowfall for exact dates at KPOU for the past 15 years? I need it for a paper for school. Any help would be much appreciated.

Maybe this is finally our storm here in Kingston, after years of watching deformation bands pound Danbury, Binghamton, and Boston...I'm feeling this one!

A lot of conflicting model data today with the foreign models coming in much colder than the Americans. Will be interesting for north of 84 for sure. An appropriate storm for Super Bowl Sunday because of the battleground of cold air vs warm. Gonna say that the defense wins this round for Ulster and Dutchess and we stay mostly snow.

Edit...just saw the main thread and looks like the consensus is its not really close for north of 84...probably snow

Light Styrofoam pellets with a coating down, 30.8/27.1.

Foreign mods are much colder than the GFS/NAM, plus current below freezing temps as of 23z and the snowpack has gotta help a little with sfc temps. Was about this time in 2009 the NAM (although the old one) had all rain for me and temps near 45 and I got all snow and 10".

Think the mountains scraped some off my total but still got about 4.5"... Good start to the season

Upton had a forecasted low for me of 10, only got down to 20 which ties the record IMBY.  Can’t really complain though cause thats still plenty cold for this time of the season. 

Yeah same here, 20. Had 19 Friday night, high also was only 35 yesterday. Took all day but just got the Davis back up and running so I don't have to use a Walmart hygrometer anymore. Although I don't think the accuracy is any better in the Davis. Fully ready for the winter now. Can't measure snow like you can but have a pretty decent melter I built from Home Depot. Turns off after like 8h, must be a fix. But that's usually enough for most storms.

I guess the biggest problem now may be with dry slotting in between the tropical moisture and the main storm if it ends up this far west. Sandy was a non-event here so would like a big wind event for a change. Yeah nice to finally get some weather after last month though.

Calm winds here right now, surprising because I thought by now it was going to be 10-20MPH. Wind always seems to underperform in the valley in the big nor'easters, but if its from the east like the Euro graphics show and not the NAM's weak storm that will help.

Edit: Just saw the 12z and now the NAM agrees with the globals
