Finally been ripping at PVD, a little late for big totals but at least we'll get above 1"-2" which is where we sat until recently.

outstanding!!! i may have missed out on the good goods, but happy with over a foot for the whole event... but this is awesome looking. i think the last time I got more than 16" in one event was March a couple years ago.maybe we are starting winter off on the good foot

well, forecast thru Tuesday morning was for 12-16" here...and thanks to last night we have met that total... looking like the backside is approaching, but a solid 7-8 inches out there from about 6 last night... good times

Finally getting the goods. Heavy snow/wind. God I've missed this.

Amen man!

choking flakes for the last hour and a half, about 3" new since we started back up again... actually better than last night right now, maybe my 10 is in reach...vis about 1/4 mile but dropped below an 1/8 for a spell.

What a mauling in the Capital District and westward.  

Looks like the Catskills are probably getting 2”/hr now.  That’s some heavy stuff.

some of the totals from earlier were incredible, nice stripe of 20+ from Bennington to Utica, about..

back to SN+ here, hope it can last long enough for a few more inches.had 5.8 here first 24 hours...4.2 gets me my 10

and it begins... filled in nicely last hour or so, let's hope it's the real deal

The GFS is making it its job to continue that to the bitter end

and we all said it was an impossibility two days ago when all guidance showed it... incredible... thinking we done, hopeful for a miracle

precipitation literally circling around CT right now... like the rhinos on jumanji protecting the jewel...band in the berks is inching ever so slowly towards me

yeah it's definitely been pounding in East ny since yesterday morning..

off topic, only drawback to my ambient weather station is the anemometer is too close to the precip cup, and when snow piles up, it gets hung up, need to clean constantly.

4.8" avg after about 10 measurements, blower just crapped the bed too, right when I finished... really never stopped snowing here, albeit light, with the occasional burst of fatties, but very nice winter scene out there... congrats east folks, looks like you're going to have the goods with this one...i said I'd be happy with 6" this time of year, we'll see what happens with round 2.

Sometimes it's tough to pick up. 

I remember growing up I used to think I would hear thundersnow and I would run around and go outside...only to find out it was the plow  

the plow literally just came by, was thinking that too... first plow of the event on my street... it's coming down maybe we get another strike, dynamic it is!

aaaaand... we're back to 50/50 SN/PL+

Very close to you

 

my wife said she heard something... must have been to busy yelling at the kids... wish I could have seen a flash or heard.

where??? I've heard nothing

it's absolutely pouring snow last 30 minutes, very little sleet, pleasantly surprised, hopefully that line continues it's retreat south

trying new apps to compress pics and videos so bare with me, I may have to upload all to YouTube channel

Same here, more fun to watch than plain snow IMHO.

absolutely, past few hours have been fun to watch... visibility going from zilch to almost clear back, I'm full snow now, cat paws have become nice pile up dendrites, amazing mix of ptype today... thank God no rain tho

flip flop from the absolute biggest cat paws I've ever seen to heavy snow and heavy pingers, crazy line tip toeing

i am switching back and forth between heavy pingers and wet snow, kinda cool to watch the vis come and go, 2.5 before any taint, now hoping round 2 delivers the goods because round 1 wasn't what I was expecting...

@JC-CT good point. It may just be the edge of heavy precip because it goes to almost nothing very sharply. However, everything SW of the purple line is sleet, reports from Meriden, Seymour, Bethany, Hamden, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Danbury confirm this. 

Do we have any reports from HFD N & W at the moment of sleet?

it is now sleet and snow here in Winsted

Sleet line slowed down for a while now its racing NE as Scott said.

Most of litchfield is now sleet, anyone check in from there?

Racing through HFD as the moment.

still all snow and growth is great right now... eyeballing 3" down

really ripping for the last hour, about 2" down now, vis still under my 1/4 mile marker, paws and chutes have been replaced by normal growth flakes again. just beautiful!

catpaws and parachute now, vis under 1/4 mile

about an inch down, picked up from a little lull... took a drive down RT 8 to Waterbury where it was grains and grap, but straight snow here since about 1330... about a mile vis, not the greatest growth but white nonetheless, welcome winter!

still nothing, wind has picked up a bit.. sitting at...25/14... looking at the Thruway cameras, looking like it's pounding just west of here into the finger lakes region.
