Geez, it's really coming down now. That's legit heavy with, apparently, very good growth judging by the size and density of the flakes. Good stuff
-
33/32/SN+ Over the last half hour or so it really ramped up but it's not really accumulating. Snow on snow it is accumulating well now but on anything that was already cleared it's more like heavy, grey water with a whitish surface than snow. I guess it's nice to look at so, there's that.
-
It was only (slightly) below freezing from 3>6, I went out a few minutes after 6, just as it went back above 32 and had 4". When I went out to shovel around 8 it was more like 2" over stupid heavy grey matter. It hasn't stopped snowing and graupeling but it's not accumulating at all on surfaces I cleared. My back hurts
-
Holy huge flakes Batkidz It's finally snowing here and it's not kidding around.
-
A few minutes later and it was dumping the biggest flakes I've ever seen. They were fkn huge for a while, now it's just regular big flakes accumulating quickly because that burst coated everything.
-
33/32 with heavy white rain
-
He's also further north and in one of the snowier zones in the area, although I'm not really sure where you're at now. I'm at 34/33/NNE4 with some wet pingers mixing in. .24 so far.
-
37° here at 5:30. It's a lot wetter than you'd think for only .11.
-
^^What he said. I dunno, maybe enough slush to be annoying.
-
I think Julian wins this one being between the Catskills and Litchfield Hills and Berkshires maxes and also being near the Taconic Spine with the best chance of going over 9".
-
I'll get a pic for you in the morning.
-
^^ that are leafing out already
-
You scrub moss off your dome with a stiff bristled brush? Alrighty then We've had them for a few weeks now. You just haven't been paying attention. That entire species could go extinct tomorrow and I'd be ok with it. Them and chiggers. Fuk em
-
On my house it's the moss on the roof getting bright green (a month early).
-
On LI maybe, I do remember it was warm early but the trees here didn't leaf out until after 4/1 and it didn't snow on leafed out trees. Even further upstate the willows are greening up, they looked great yesterday covered with 6-8" but there were lots of branches hanging down to the ground and that's without leaves on them just open buds and green, flexible branches.
-
Actually the trees are starting to leaf out. The one in my front yard looks like it usually does in mid April. This is the earliest in the 27 years I've been here! The last time was when that 17" paste storm took branches off it in 1997 and took out the power line to the house. It took 3 weeks to get that replaced
-
Again, maxes decrease as it goes east of the Taconic spine and I end up with considerably less than a few miles west. I'm going to hope the models just don't realize that there's another elevation max east of the spine.
-
9" in Brockport, 8-10" with 12" jackpots over the ridges in The Finger lakes and 3" in Binghamton.
-
So it's gonna rain here? Phew, that means at least (a small) part of my ride back from Brockport Saturday won't be too bad.
-
Ahh, that's where it went
-
I was thinking about it some more and the 6 or 7 coatings of .1 or less added to truly measurable events has me just under 3". Added to the 6" which was only 6" due to non-standard measuring to achieve max depth and I'm at 9" for the season. Woohoo
-
Slow that down about 6 hours would ya please. I'll be driving back from Brockport on Saturday, gotta pick up the kid at school.
-
Nah, when I use the term coating it's because it's nearly immeasurable with a typical ruler or generally under .1". In many cases this season a snowboard in an exposed area would have melted or sublimated so quickly it would be 0, it would have had to be in a shaded and protected area.
-
Ehh sort of but if they add up to .1 or .2 that still keeps me at or under 3" plus the 6 a few days ago so if I call it 9" I'm good. Go back through my posts since the beginning of the season and every time it has snowed I'm at just a few tenths (if that) compared to inches elsewhere. The other day is the only time I've even touched the shovel this year.
-
For the season. I've had a few .2s and an inch once, the other day was 4" in exposed areas but up to 6 in select shaded areas where the ground is always colder and it accumulated earlier and better. Mostly I've just had coatings that aren't really worth trying to measure.
