I'm not ungrateful How much at the stake?

Storm total here 17.1" @IrishRob17, interesting measurements: 9.0" of snow through midnight melted down to 0.79" (11.4:1). I cleared the boards at midnight (my standard is once per 24 hours at midnight) 8.1" new measured on the boards a short while ago. Sample from that hasn't melted yet. I had 4.5" at the stake before the snow started and 18" now. The 4.5 inches is rock hard and did not compact, so you know the front 9 sure did. It is possible the snow could have been a little higher on the stake earlier, maybe 19". Alas, if we do manage to get another inch or two, it probably won't increase the snow depth.

By contrast, we had a trace during that same timeframe

Could be worse. I just got 17" of crumbs. How did it go there?

From your lips to God's ears, but so far every time it looks that way the hole comes roaring back. HRRR says we could get another inch, but it also says it should be snowing here now and it's not. My total is 17", so not the worst skunking ever.

Yup. Might be my imagination, but there seems to be some kind of voodoo that gets us in the largest storms. At least it's still a lot of snow.

Probably, but not more than another inch, maybe two. I hope I'm wrong.

Addendum: this hole was showing up on the mesos, but I wrote it off as just an oddity of the map rendering software. That's excellent detail from the SR models. Latest HRRRRRR indicates we may get a relative break soon, but only crumbs left at that point.

Haven't measured yet today, but snow stake is at 18" implying at least a 14" snowfall. We've had nothing since 7am; three hours and counting in this crazy little snow hole over the north shore of central LI. At least one sizeable limb is down from a hemlock out back.

I caught a transformer blowing and the power going out (other side of our street...we're still on for the moment) at 5:21 am: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVGObqykfDt/?igsh=NWl2N3VwYTczZWVj The second video was a few moments before.

0/0 out there

Looking pretty blizzardy:

That's exactly what I am doing.

9.0 inches of snow on 2/22 brings our seasonal total to 40.1"

As of 12:00 am measured 9.0". Snow depth is 14". Temp/dp is 30.2/29.5. Snow of varying intensity, mostly light to moderate since then. It's windy, but well short of blizzard criteria on both wind and viz.

No puking snow ... or old fashioneds

Yup. So much for the idea that surface temps affect ratios.

Subjectively speaking, these are much more well formed dendrites than during the January storm. It is occasionally windy; one gust was enough to blow snow from the ground (not just from the trees and roofs). Still 30/29 S+

Stay safe!

In other news, the snow gods are violently tossing their cookies right now. S+ 30/29 Looks like about 8" at the stake, which means roughly 3" new. I'll do a proper measurement and wipe the boards at midnight.

Total on ground. I clarified the post. We're pushing 3" now, but thats from eyeballing the stake..not a measurement from the snow board.

I must have been feeling a little giddy when I failed to mention that is new plus old snow. However, if this rate keeps up it won't take long to get to 7"

I promise not to double count the 5" that was already there.
