Not New England, but not far. Hope you don't mind. About 7-8 inches of very heavy wet snow at 32 degrees almost throughout, here at 1800' near Whiteface. Power out for hours, some trees down in immediate (very rural) area. Birch bender for sure. Still snowing lightly, bit of upslope. Down in nearby WIlmington- probably 4 inches or less- elevation driven.

32 degrees and about an inch down at 1800 ft north side of Whiteface in northern Dacks. No wind to speak of.

3 miles north of Whiteface Mountain- 1800'. Steady Light/moderate snow all morning. 2-3"?

Nice try- he's from Pennsylvania...

Great instructional posts to us formative learners. Thanks!

Just cleared (temporarily) on north side of Whiteface after more fluff overnight...snow showers were persistent in that flow...we'll see what we can do over here with upcoming disturbance...hoping for 2-4?

Thanks Tip. No. would not be asking for Philly in this subform...no way that happens. Was more curious if you thought cold push would continue to ooze south- meaning better chances for warning snow just west of "Powderfreak land".

How much for Philly? (kidding). Tip- Interested in your thoughts on possibilty of continued cold "press" vs the omnipresent southeast ridge. Seems like these forces are currently depicted as deadlocked? Thanks, trying to learn... as spend a lot of time just west (eastern ADK's) of BTV.

Yes, Whiteface verified... quote from local paper: (Our Camp at 1850 feet just to the north of Whiteface touched -30F. Was -27F still at 8 AM, warmed quickly after) The summit of Whiteface Mountain fell to minus 40.2 degrees Fahrenheit at about 3 a.m. Saturday, setting the record for the coldest recorded temperature there. “That speaks to the cold front and how dense the air is. It’s just an abnormally cold air mass that goes pretty deep up into the atmosphere,” said Scott McKim, science manager at the Whiteface Mountain field station of the University at Albany’s Atmospheric Sciences Research Center. The station recorded the previous record, minus 38.9 degrees Fahrenheit, overnight on Valentine’s Day in February 2016. The center has operated the Whiteface weather station at the summit since the 1940s.

Whiteface summit inched down to -40F. Very cold night in the 'dacks. -26F outside at 1850' on north side of Whiteface.

Whiteface at -39F at 6.20 broke their previous all-time record low of -38.9F. Temperature continues to fall.

"Upstream": Whiteface summit down to -35F.

"Upstream" of you folks: -14 at my Camp just north of Whiteface. Whiteface summit just dropped to -32F w/windchill at -74F. Summit is about 1300 lower than "the Rockpile". Impressive cold.

(Kind of meaningless game, regardless. ) 7 miles east of Philly- When that convective line went through- temp dropped from 47 to 36 in about 5 minutes. Rain/Sleet/Snow mix- hard. No lightning though. Has flipped to moderate snow now- 31F.

...Somewhere, James is smiling...!

Above Normal. Everywhere. Eye opening for many.

Boy I'll say...AC stole my snow...

He's from South Jersey- Millville...

I hope this will live up to its billing and the forum dubs it "the James storm". Its just fitting in terms of timing and location...

Enjoy up there and raise a glass to James! This ones for him.

The Boss

Disclaimer: "asking for a friend"... Longtime mostly lurker will be in Whiteface Mountain area Sunday- Thursday if "my friend" chooses to drive up. We are low on snowpack there for sure. Safe to say that area of northern "Dacks is in a good spot for 6-12", given variables? Appreciate learned opinions or heckling!

"Hype machine"

Very underwhelming compared to yesterdays "potential" discussion. About 1/2 inch of rain in past 24 hours...no wind. Stay Safe....

Try some "Lava" brand stout if you can get it. Unlike Einstock, its not exported. Viking stuff- one will hold you for a bit.
