Looks like 4.5” on the board will do it. Thankfully my lawn gives me 5” on the ground

4.5" on the snowboard, 5" on the ground. 4.5" goes in the books as it's very light snow and settling in, doubt it goes higher in the board but we'll see in a bit, 31/29.

Congrats on living in the high elevations.

Well you have all that elevation there… On a serious note, yeah, it appears some DOTs dropped the ball on this today.

NWS Albany knew, good job by them it appears.

Elevation is helping but this isn’t an elevation storm, as we know.

You found a nice spot. I know there are areas up there that get shadowed and shafted, your not there thankfully.

Another over performer for us.

How much down there so far?

Just measured 2.6" on the snow board, flipping between light and moderate snow, up to 30/27 with temp and dew.

Fantastic. I just did a quick unofficial deck measurement of 1.5". I know some mocked Albanys wide range in accumulations but they mentioned elevation enhancement so it's good to see that playing out.

The Advisory explains the reasoning for the wide range.

This goes out to Chris Drury:

That was a great winter and during a time that chemcial ice treatments were just being developed and adopted. As a result most municipalites just used straight rock salt which is ineffective in such cold weather. So yeah, if you drove a car that winter you can't forget the ice caked on the roads. Nowadays the rock salt gets chemically treated so its effective at lower temps, plus we don't see cold like that.
