I thought about it, but Tuesday with the melt / residual salt the road spray will just cover my car again anyways.

Helluva winter guys! What a blast its been, literally and figuratively!

This! The height was only 5 minutes, but legit heaviest snow of the season I witnessed! Couldn't see my neighbors house! That New Years Eve squall had lightening, so gotta give it a slight edge, but this one was pure insanity. Winds have completely filled in any evidence of foot prints in the yard.

Does loom a little weaker than it did, but still pretty robust. Some streamers setting up behind it too for a lucky few maybe.

Niiiice! This is at least the third event this winter with thunder snow somewhere in our area.

We got one warned heading this way, looks like its associated with the actual front.

Best rates of the day right now here. Real high ratio stuff coming down.

Yeah, we keep getting waves ahead of the front, we should make it to at least an inch + everywhere with this. Getting a moderate burst right now. Some hints of a band off huron too after the front.

Seeing there were a couple accidents on Rt 28 too. Probably only got a half inch, but I think sometimes less is worse because people don't take it as seriously.

Light / moderate here. Looks great! Covered most of the dirty snow on the side of the road already!

We've been looking at a 1-2 inch range, maybe 3 in an isolated spot to fall over like a 12 hour period. That still looks reasonable so not sure it's a "dud". Even if it ends up on the lower side of the range its still within the expectation. The more "steady" light snow wasn't forecast until late morning / early afternoon, then we see a lull until the cold front blows through. I do think we've seen a slight push for the better totals to the South and West over the past couple days, but these things have such a narrow area of "jackpot" totals its not surprising to see that move around.

I think we get one more cold relative to average shot. Obviously not like what's coming this weekend, but serviceable for late season snow chances. In any case, I noticed some melting, a few bare areas on steeper south facing slopes driving home. We are getting to the end of the reasonable expectation for snow retention anyways if its a sunny day. Looking forward to the clipper and wind this weekend.

I'm with ya on this. If it all ended tomorrow considering we got the big storm, stretch of deep cold and snowpack, thunder snow on new year's, squalls etc. this winter is already an A for me.

If models were a buffet... I'd take a side of GFS for this weekend, scoop of the UKMET for midweek, and for my main course I'll take the Euro for next weekend. Once the desert cart comes around for late feb / early march, I'll see what I want off of that.

With the winds it and fluffy nature of the snow, it's going to be blowing and drifting around too. I'll be curious to see if we get any squalls later Friday night.
