    Fairy Dust or Diamond Dust. I love that stuff. I've seen it accumulate an inch or two in the mountains when it's really cold, ultimate fluff. It's the residual moisture freezing out of the air and it tends to happen after a warm(ish) sunny day with really low RH. As the snow surface melts a bit the humidity in the lowest levels shoots way up and then the sun goes down and it's a rapid drop the dust starts to freeze out around 10-15*.

    Oops, put this in the discussion thread not the obs thread - 20/18/E1/SN but the intensity is wavering between light and moderate, flake size is tiny and visibility is decent at the moment. Looks to be approaching 3" as the sat antenna on my truck is 2.6" high and is covered.

    3-4 more inches and avg will be reached. ~3" on the ground so far this morning and it's looking good for a few more. Bring it!

    Take a ride 20 minutes north. It's dumping.

    Good morning! Snowing hard, upper end of moderate. As mentioned above densely packed small flakes so it's a nice thick coating accumulating fairly quickly. Not like the last two storms because the flakes are smaller but over 1" already with visibility around 1200 feet. It's cold and fluffy. 19/17/E1/SN

    I think I'm around 42" so approaching the 21st century average now, probably will hit it tomorrow. It's all gravy after that.

    I'm over 30 for the month. After yesterday the driveway banks are shoulder to over the head high and cleaning the driveway is a heckuva project but at this point I say bring it on. If it's gonna be a pita it might as well be a big one.

    I've got 8°. Yup it's cold.
  10. gravitylover
    Damn it's chilly out there right now. 8° feels extra cold.

    Wow that sux. Sure it will get covered back up for the winter but when it starts to melt in the spring and all the sand floats to the top it will accelerate the melt dramatically. That means floods in the spring and low water levels in the late summer and fall because the melt wasn't spread out enough.

    P&C has me for 1-2" Tuesday. Do we still think that's going to happen?
  13. gravitylover
    I'm still getting very light flurries. I just took the garbage out and there's a fresh coating since it "ended".

    I can't believe it's still snowing. I thought the last time I shoveled was going to be it. I was wrong. Very pretty storm, little wind and it's wet enough that it stuck to everything and it's got that nice poofy rounded look on everything.

    Off with his head!

    Another 20" over the next 10 days? My driveway banks are already at my shoulder height. I'm out of room. The sun can come out now. Thanx Today sure didn't underperform here. You guys just need to come to the LHV Alps.

    Fluffy but not fluffy. I had a hard time finding spots of 6" so it's fair to call it at 5". It's still snowing but vis is up to 1/4mi and the flakes are small. 29/28/N4/SN
  18. gravitylover
    29/28/NNE2/SN The flakes just got huge and the temp came up a degree. It feels like this one is just about over. Going out to measure now.
  19. gravitylover
    Nearing 6" now. Easy to shovel until it's a pile and then it packs tight and gets heavy. I'm at the high end of my expectations so the rest is all gravy.
  20. gravitylover
    28/27/NE1/SN+ (maybe ++) This is as hard as it snowed at any point a few days ago. Temp is low enough that it's fluffy but it's wet snow, it gets heavy as soon as it's disturbed and piled when shoveling. Seems like about 6", I'll measure an undisturbed spot when it finishes in a little while.
  21. gravitylover
    I'll take my southeastern location and run with it today It's snowing hard with 2" down already and the temp is staying cold enough that it's a fluffy wet snow. Gonna go push it out of the driveway into the street for the plow to take away. The downstream neighbors love it heheh

    Go away. Nearly 25 years of providing obs on weather forums and you're the first with a problem with it. 2" now and piling up pretty quickly. 28/26/E6/SN+
  23. gravitylover
    Well, it certainly looks like winter right now.
  24. gravitylover
    IMO it's sort of important for someone to have an idea of where an event is occurring which is pretty much the point of an observation in an obs thread. No? Total snowglobe out there now. Wham bam, once the column saturated it went to accumulating snow in no time. The dp only came up a degree and a half though- 30/14.4/NE4/SN
  25. gravitylover
    Well that was quick. First flakes happening now. 1,600 feet north of the Westchester/Putnam border.
