Happy New Year one and all!

Nice. All of my family that was on the job have been retired know for a couple of years. I do know a guy at 55 truck though.

I dropped to 4 right after I posted my low earlier this morning, surprising to say the least. just as much as my low of 30 yesterday morning was.

Where do you work? As much as temps were warmer than forecasted yesterday morning they are colder than forecasted this morning, currently sitting at 5

Yes, I beleive that it was a City Buildings Dept SUV. A bummer with this storm, and it typically happens wafter the big coastals, we get mild air behind it which is cutting in on my snow pack

It appears to me that for starters anyway the guy behind the wheel of the front-end loader had no business being there.

Thanks, I throughly enjoyed this one, and in reference to the bolded, oh do tell.

I had a wind gust of 40mph at 5:08pm yesterday, the highest that I've ever recorded here. Considering the overall poor location of the anemometer that's saying a lot about how strong that gust must have been.

The wind really packs the snow in there making it more dense for sure. I just got back from a drive, still getting ground blizzard conditions along NYS 416, 208, and 207. The State guys will be plowing for quite a while still.

Im loving this storm so much more than the Snowicane, the drifting is insane around here. NYS 416 and 207 are down to close to one lane in the open spots with whiteout conditions. I've never seen anything like that around here, the last time I saw a ground blizzard was when my brother lived up in Cazenovia after a lake effect event. I have bare spots in my yard and 30" drifts in other spots. Impossible to get an accurate measuremnt of anything. I saw a report of 15" in Montgomery from 1am which seems reasonable, looke like 16-18" around here overall but we'll never know for sure.

Dish.

It was only a couple of the local NYC stations and only the HD signal for some reason. It's back now.

I'm getting into something heavier now, I'm starting to lose my Dish signal.

I havnt gone out, maybe 6-7" after taking a window looks measurement

Yeah, I can't believe NYC is getting rocked again. What happened to the storms when we get rocked and they get rain?

Glad to see you guys towards the east are getting rocked. Im just a bit too far west so far, shades if 2006 when I was just a tad too far north, we'll see if something can rotate through overnight.

Hey you! Welcome back

Agree 100% on both counts. Thanks to Wx4cast for his insight and less powder>more wet snow.

There will be more drifting with this storm, I'm hoping to see some epic drifts

Let's do this! 60mph gusts tonight and Monday possible! The drifting will be awesome.

Giddy up! We will be a bit too far west? I think it was the Dec 2003 storm when I had 18" in New Windsor, there was like 6" in Middletown and maybe 3" in Port Jervis.

I've actually had that before, it was ok, im more of a lager guy though

Are you saying that the trend is our friend? Hey, I hope it works out but I also know that in 30 minutes my brother-in-law arrives with the Sam Adams with the rest of the family to follow shortly there after so i won't be able to track much tonight. Merry Christmas to all my weather board buddies!

Did you see this? From BOX AFD: "WE WANTED TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED MESSAGES FROM HPC ABOUT INITIALIZATION PROBLEMS ON BOTH THE NAM AND GFS RUNS THIS MORNING. " Not sure yet how that affects this run if at all, it's still up for debate. Maybe we'll have a better idea after seeing the euro.
