I was watching closely for a bit this morning and every time the temp would start dropping again a slight breeze, like 3mph, would kick up and the temp would rise a degree or two.

Low of +2 this morning. Maybe I get a below zero reading right before midnight to keep my streak going but it looks to be too windy for me.

The breeze has kept me above zero, sitting at +3, my below zero streak up here may end at four days as a result. Although if it doesn't go below in the next hour or so I could go below before midnight, keeping the streak alive.

I found the below on the NWS Albany page. This also got me reading again about the Buffalo Blizzard in 1977 when they did record 12" but the bulk of the snow was blown into Buffalo from a frozen Lake Erie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard_of_1977#:~:text=The blizzard of 1977 hit,February 1 of that year. https://www.weather.gov/aly/majorwinterstorms

Violenty agree. I woke up at the tail end of the last one I had and still didn't feel a thing but did see up close on the monitor where some people say my head is...

I've had four below zero mins so far this year, the most I've recorded was 15 in the '14-'15 winter. That winter is also my longest consective streak of below zeros, which was six. I'm currently at six days in a row below 32, the most I've recorded that was 14 days in the '17-'18 winter, and interestingly that winter I recorded a total of 23 days below 32 degrees.

The piles and banks are huge and I atribute that to the higher than expeced water content in the snow. Something to keep in mind as we move towards spring.

Agreed. My -5.9 goes in the books as -6 and my -8.4 yesterday goes in the books as -8.

This mornings snow depth from CoCoRaHS.

-6 will do it for me, -5 now. Snowpack at both stakes, opposite sides of the yard, are at 13.5" this morning. Sure theres been zero melting but sublimation and settling happens regardless. The storm this weekend ain't happening for us, would like to like see a number of small events, at least, in the next couple weeks to add back to the pack.

The 0z has temps briefly sneaking up above freezing on the 7th.

Perfect conditions for it. You'll see in the NW thread I post a screenshot that includes Legoland, 7 miles away as the crow flies, almost 19 degree difference. I thought I might have beat KMGJ for once but they got to -9 in between hours. When I was at -8 KMGJ was around 0. Cool stuff, only 2 miles away.

Looks like -8 will do it for the low here, up to -7 currently.

My forecasted low was adjusted from 4 to 2 last I checked around 9pm. It's currently -8

Today was .2 here. 2.9° currently.

Like knowing how to crop a photo?

Its legit light snow up here in central Orange County right now.

Low of 1 this morning, 15" at the stake. A nice solid pack out there this morning, https://maps.cocorahs.org/

Low of 1 at 8:17am, up to 13 now.

We know that snowfall is the most poorly measured element of weather, although I guess PWS wind measurements are right up there for different reasons. We almost need a separate thread for those of us that use a properly placed snowboard and clear using the same metrics. Your post though reminded me of many years ago, 2015 I want to say, a poster had say a 12” snowpack then reported 6” of pure fluff. The next day I asked them what their snowpack was and they said 18” and I just rolled my eyes as the odds of zero settling of fluff snow over 24 hours were zero to none. That’s not even getting into people not understanding sublimation.

I definitely had freezing drizzle this morning. I didn’t hear any sleet but if you got pellets up there it’s hard to imagine I didn’t have some too. It’s a meaty pack kinda like baking soda out there.

13.1” on the board melted down to 1.80” of liquid. Season total sits at 38.3”.

I didn’t even get that good a ratio, the core from the board which had 13.1” on it melted down to 1.80”. It started out at much better ratios as the snow was fluffy but it changed during the storm. It also shows it was compacting under its own weight on the board for 24 hours. Again, shoveling felt much more like 18”, which also makes more sense now.

Weenies are gonna ween and then there's the jackpot fetish. You have wonder how many know what an actual 6" looks like.

Don’t question it, you measured it correctly, you should only clear the board once a day, when the storm is over, or changes precip type. There are a lot of inflated totals out there.
