Great

It is difficult these days trying to find people that want to actually work and not be some social media moron. My wife's cousin, a few years older than me, has a well established hard wood flooring business. His partner is retiring soon so they've been looking for a young buck for years to teach the trade to and eventually sell the business to. No luck. Once someone is told to put their phone down and work they get turned off. The guy says he wished he was 20 years younger because all the guys that currently know the trade are retiring so whoever is left with the skill will be making a true killing in the future. Anyway, that doesn't solve the messed up roads again today. Maybe they were caught off guard again because everyone got used to storms often not panning out? This year has been different. Very light snow here, unofficial deck measurement of 1" new, 29/27.

Been snowing for a couple hours here, light stuff. Check out mPING, you can see reports there too, which is helpful.

My 4.5" yesterday melted down to .39. Another snowfall on top of existing snow, love to see it. 27/26 with light snow.

For the threads allowed to stay...

4.5", you know where I am.

Absolutely gorgeous out there now with sunlight drifting through the snow laden trees, a mix of clouds and blue skies.

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.

Last night when I stepped into the air it was a wake up call. I had alrighty got used to the milder temps we had.

Snow showers up here now, in Goshen, as well.

OK, see ya.
