Local Albany met says the coastal low formed 50 miles east of progged and bumped up accums in eastern NY up a few inches. Expecting 8 to 12 here now.

First flakes have arrived here in Duanesburg.

Also representing the Eastern part of the thread here. At about 1,500 ft elevation in western Schenectady County, I typically fall into the "Helderbergs" part of the forecast, and high enough to avoid any easterlies shadowing. Just worried about the taint at this point that could really cut that top end of the range down.

Hey, shouldn't this be: 2021 - 22 ?

DEARTH band.

Darth Bond over Toronto???

Ugh... toss it. Toss it quick. Put a mask on first then wash your hands Ugh.

Who DARES to buy a vowel???

GT 235. 18 horses. Had her nearly 20 years now. Runs as good today as the day I got her.

That's about right Stash. That dump one year ago December was a beauty. A bit over 30 in my driveway. Just lovely!

And accordingly, the NWS in Albany has just added these counties to the Winter Weather Advisory for 2 to 5 inches.

Off topic but... Glendale? I grew up in Glendale. 66th Street and 70th Avenue. From 1964 to 1980. Cheers!

So my advice not to go to Amsterdam and stay put was sound! Glad it worked out for you! Amsterdam flipped to sleet for a couple of hours but is back to snow now.

Exactly right. I mentioned this yesterday that in eastern NY, the overrunning warm air almost always exceeds what is progged. Not only did it reach the Mohawk valley, but it streamed about 10-20 miles north of it. We’ve just flipped back to snow here after a 4 hour sleet fest. Snowing moderately.

Well, after all the stressing, the party is over here. After close to 10”, we’ve gone over to pingers.

Heavy snow. 2” in the past hour. Pouring down now.

Maybe Albany/Schenectady squeak by without the taint, by a hair? Gonna be very close. But at least there’s hope! As of 1234 AM EST...Latest KENX radar and ground truth indicate moderate to heavy snow is occurring across a large portion of the Albany forecast area, as the strong baroclinic zone ahead of the warm front is impacting the region. Some embedded laterally transitioning mesoscale bands may be setting up documented in the CSTAR research. We have an SPS out for some 1-2"/hr rates. KALB has had 1"/hr hour snow increase group the past few hours. Interesting, that the 00Z GFS has trended colder with perhaps the ptype holding as mostly snow from KALB north and west

Continues to pick up here. 1.6" in the last hour.

We're in "inch an hour" rates now

Snow has really picked up in the last hour. 1.5 inches in the last 2 hours.

The models have not handled the low-level temperatures very well this evening and this will likely effect the track of the surface low as it tracks across the northern mid-Atlantic late tonight. Temperatures have been colder than forecast especially in the upper Hudson Valley and southern Adirondacks where readings have dropped down into the single digits to near zero. The latest 00z NAM forecast is a bit farther south with the track of the surface low and is just a bit colder with its thermal profiles than the previous couple of runs, however it would still support a change from snow to sleet as far north as the northern part of the Capital District around daybreak Sunday. We suspect that when all is said and done sleet will mix with the snow just about up to Saratoga Springs Sunday morning which will cut back on snow amounts from that area south.

Awful lonely being the only Eastern NYer in a forum called Upstate/Eastern NY. Very light snow here. Exactly 1" measured.

To the mohawk river valley and beyond. Still extremely fine flakes. about a 1/2".

Anybody wanna see my 59 year old beer gut? Finally started snowing here. Fine as powder.
