Yeah, I'm a bit outside of this sub-forum's area, but just wanted to share the disappointment (so far at least) about this storm. We are under WSW and were supposed to get up to 13" by tomorrow, but right now we have about an inch of slop, it's barely snowing and what's on the ground is melting at 35F

only people who have never lived in a really snowy area can talk like that. I used to live in Buffalo, and I took every opportunity I got to rinse the salt off my car. It's literally eating and destroying the vehicle body. And in the end you'd have to spend a lot more $$$ to fix it later when it's all rusted through

continued steady moderate snow here. About 5" so far at 25 and no wind.

first flakes in Ithaca...

Steady moderate snow here. Intensity has picked up nicely within past hour or so

funny I used to live right behind that spot. Happened all the time

most of the time I saw the bands, and sometimes the lightning, just to my south. Very frustrating at times

Elmwood Village

Yeah I meant just New York. I remember a storm when I lived in Buffalo (Miller B, not LES) - was pretty late in March of 2010, 2011, 2012 maybe? - that dumped about 2 feet there.

is there any kind of precedent for this type of East Coast storm with the highest totals apparently in the Finger Lakes?

and they got to be short several inches for Ithaca

This is insane! It simply won't stop snowing. Got another 8 to 10 inches overnight alone. Stopped measuring long time ago, but we must be well north of 2 feet for this event. Looks like we're getting close to 3 feet on the ground here. Most snow I've ever seen in my life - and by now best snowstorm ever

Getting absolutely crushed here at the moment. Heaviest snow so far for the whole storm in the past hour. Flake size has increased dramatically - pure fluff. Amazing storm, ranking very near the top for me, and that includes several years in Buffalo.

heavy snow now with periodic near whiteout conditions. Good stuff! I guess this is round 3 with lake-enhancement? Hard to say, but looks like close to 2 feet on the ground at this point.

after a lull last evening the storm really delivered here overnight. Woke up to at least 8 fresh inches, probably more, but hard to say with lots of blowing and drifting. Still snowing and picking up again at the moment.
