Yeah I've got 20.2" total now and I'm within 2 miles of the airport. Not sure what they're doing.

Looks like ALB has 18.3" officially as of 10PM. #13 all time for now.

Yeah, looks like it'll be CSI related bands across CNY through the ADKs with a little bit of convective instability near the mix line like you said.

Yeah he did, I forget the dates but they got 4-5 feet over like 4-5 days there.

Spotter in Woodford, VT at 2300' reported 26" at Noon, probably closer to 30" now since they're still getting pounded. That place is upslope headquarters. https://vtrans.vermont.gov/operations/rwis/camera?id=09

This band just south of ALB has been quite a surprise as well. I'm on the NW fringe with just under 1.0" but downtown Albany is getting in on the +SN action.

That seems to be where forecast challenges arise since only subtle differences can exist between nonbanded and laterally quasi-stationary band events. Either way congrats on a nice little event for you guys, light snow just started here.

Yeah this fits the composite of a laterally quasi-stationary snow band quite nicely, maybe there will be some surprises beneath the band axis.

more like something to keep our hopes alive across eastern NY. if you believe the euro you're sitting beneath the mid-level deformation band for a while

posted this in the other thread but i'll post it here too from the SNE thread New MCD AREAS AFFECTED...NRN NJ...SERN NY/WRN LONG ISLAND...SRN VT...SWRN NH...WRN MA/CT CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW VALID 262326Z - 270530Z BAND OF HEAVY SNOW WITH RATES RANGING FROM 1-2 IN/HR IS FORECAST TO SHIFT WWD OUT OF MA/CT THIS EVENING AND BECOME ALIGNED FROM NRN NJ NWD ACROSS SERN NY AND THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY INTO PORTIONS OF SRN VT/SWRN NH.

yeah about .7 but I just fear that if it ticks further east we could end up with half of that since the gradient is extremely tight over a 10 mile area.

I actually had a flurry here 30 minutes ago until the northwest edge dropped back off. Our only hope for getting in that band to our south is the RUC and thats not a good thing. I know the precip shield is going to push northwest again but i have a feeling this didnt pull toward the coast enough to hit us good. Not to be overly negative but I wouldn't be suprised if we downgrade to advisories and end up with 6" or less.

could an albany screw job be in the making lol? radar has backed off the approach of the precip and the latest guidance has gone significantly east. oh well at least I was prepared for this ha.
