I have 11.5" on the board, which has not been cleared,  but I've shoveled more than that. The snow is more dense than this morning so the pack is really settling in under the weight of what's been falling this afternoon.

Just about 8” in Poughkeepsie.  Finally getting better flake size after about 2 hours of arctic sand 

Yeah, the snow earlier this morning was fluffier, what I was clearing this afternoon had some more weight to it.

9.2 inches as of 1:30 so 2.7 inches in the last hour and half. 
Best rates of the day right now. 5.4° with heavy snow.  

Measured 9.5" about 15 mins ago, it's starting to blow a bit now too. Gonna be some nice drifting tomorrow afternoon.

By that you mean 4/10 of an inch liquid equivalent, correct? Which had to equal 6 inches of snow? Or did you actually just get 4/10 of an inch of snow

I ended up getting 12 inches from that storm as I'm about 15 miles south of you most of it coming when I was lucky enough to have one of those heavy bands south of us rotate over Highland Mills area for two or three hours. I remember even 6 miles north of me only ended up with 6 inches. That was such a frustrating cut off from that storm, while the city and NNJ got 30 inches.

I certainly didn't get .40 in liquid, it was a total of .4 inches of snow, total, period, end of story. That sucked cause I knew not that far away was rather different. I didn't even have to shovel. Today, I'll need to shovel with snow falling and 7 degrees out there.

With these events it’s really shows how different it is up here in comparison to areas in & around NYC. In the grand scheme of things, we aren’t that far lol but weather wise we might as well live on the tug hill lol

If you want to see some interesting plowing videos check out Tug Hill Snow Chasers on Facebook. 

And people talking about mixing at 3pm. Not up here. 

Am I the only one that doesn't visit the board as much once we know it's coming? Once it starts I'll likely visit more often but just enjoying the moment and the weenies that come out of the woodwork just push me away.

Since the moisture is pushing all the way past Albany and into Adirondacks eventually I'm not as concerned as I normally would be with an airmass this cold and dry in place. 

That wasn’t a concern of mine with this type of system, unlike 2016 when I recorded a whopping .4

And of course on the coldest day of the year, pre snowstorm, my heat upstairs isn't working. I think it's the circulator pump?

First guess is the zone valve, if you have multiple zones. 

Down to 10, the hawk is out tonight.

I screenshoted that map to my son in Texas, as he is tracking for ice. Its been a while since we've seen anything like this.

12z NAM is interesting for the 84 corridor.. ❄️

Thats a solid, long duration, event around here as depicted in that run. 

In years like this, snowfall on top of snowpack, I'm reminded of what my grandmother said during her 15 or so years living in central New Hampshire, "Mother Nature doesn't like dirty snow."

I know I’ve said this before when a bigger storm was heading our way, where the hell do all this weenies come from? It’s quite evident many don’t really pay attention to the weather, just big snowstorms. Many would benefit from paying attention year round and learning things.

Almost every single piece of guidance has the 84 corridor 12-18” but like a few have already said it’s a biggie but not a true monster like the Snowicane etc. I do think the next 10 days does have the potential to be something historic.

Yeah, next weekend has big potential.

It should be a good one. I could easily see a foot maybe a foot and a half.

I've seen a lot of 2 foot and a couple of 30-35 inches here. I don't think we can get to those levels out of this setup. 
 

Yeah, that was my point. It looks like a biggie but we've had some true monsters and I dont see one of those, not yet at least. I'm also a results guy. The NFL Draft is entreating to watch but don't mean jack if the players don't perform.

Waking this morning to already find WSWatch hoisted at ~72h lead time.

Upton considered it but held off for now. It's coming. Not the biggest storm we've ever had but a major storm for sure. I love the snow storms on top of snowpack, it's a good season.

Mornings like this really show microclimate details well. I see temps within 3 miles as low as -6 to as high as the 8° I have now. At one point right before sunrise the spread was 15°! 

I was fun looking at the varaince in all of te local temps earlier this morning. -5 was my low, while Legoland, 7 miles away had a low of 3. I reference that one because they have a Davis station as well.
