17 in Granby?? that's a crazy outlier, maybe caught more from rd 2, but overall a fairly consistent distribution in NWCT, over to ENY and up to SNH... actually that stripe went down to PA, was pretty well modeled I think.
limped our way to 12.5" here with this last burst coming right as we finished doing the snow, which was as hard as it was last night surprisingly because radar doesn't look good, but under 1/2mi vis for almost an hour put down the final half inch... nice storm here for us, feel for the south peeps, looks like it's rockin up in orh cty up into SNH
looks like the last gasp incoming, if it sticks together, otherwise I'm going out to clean up, we have a newly paved driveway, so it's going to be a pleasure with the new blower as well... nothing worse than a bumpy driveway trying to snowblow or shoveling...total as of now 11.5, need a good push to top a foot
.Update...As of 9:30 AM EST...MSLP analysis now shows two
distinct areas of low pressure off the coast, one located east
of the 40/70 benchmark and another just south of Long Island
with an inverted trough extending back across the eastern
Catskills from this second surface low. At the same time, GOES
16 water vapor imagery shows the approaching upper shortwave
embedded in a longwave trough currently located over eastern PA.
As this upper shortwave tracks northeastwards through the next
couple hours, it will help to keep that second SLP minimum
tucked into the coast, and will allow the surface low to
strengthen with the arrival of better upper divergence.
if we can get one of these heavy bursts to sustain for a couple hours it'll be another few inches, they seem to last a half hour then peeter out and start back up, wind is picking up too now... don't think I got above 25 the entire time, it was 25 when it started and is now.
i measured 10 maybe an hour ago, but looks like another .5 has fallen since...radar filling nicely out west of us, so maybe we can get some goods until afternoon
this thing is really cranking up, winds are swaying trees, knocking whatever stuck on them last night off, had a brief period of SN++, but it was short lived, back to just SN
shoveled a path to the stairs, not exactly man snow, but not exactly powder either, should clean well, wrap around is filling in nicely, Hrrr really seemed to nail this one from just before go time up to now
starting to pick back up to mod SN now, had a good lull from about 330-730, I've got 10 even, Norfolk reporting 12, a couple of reports in dutchess and Ulster cty NY coming in near 14, that band was legit last night... would be nice to pick up a few more and get over a foot
have exceeded my expectations already as we approach 10" here, and if guidance verifies, tomorrow late morning should ramp up some deform and pick up possibly a few more, right on!
Holy crap! woke up to check and other things and we're at 8.5" since 9 and absolutely dumping snow still, wish I could have stayed up...was there any tssn reported in the band?
straight pouring snow last half hour, just about at 1" now, if these rates keep up until the morning, we'll definitely hit 8+ by then, vis well under 1/4mi now, think I'm going to fall out, so enjoy all who are staying up, just can't do it anymore
