Lousy calls by me yesterday. The storm is just not organizing the conveyor belt structure and throwing back moisture like I thought it would. Snow growth is getting really paltry already. Much nicer than the cutter that was progged up until a day or two ago, though.
-
Broad-scale subsidence taking a real toll on the precip shield. This thing will be in and out much quicker than I figured.
-
Roads are all covered up here already. 30F at home, snowing nicely but nothing too crazy yet. Hopefully we start to see some cohesive meso banding soon as the low ramps up.
-
Just flipped to snow in Fishkill. That was quick. -
It would be an underachiever if it didn't. Wednesday raised the bar to 4.0" imby. That's close to the low end of reasonable expectations for tomorrow.
-
Potential for 2"+/hr rates around midday tomorrow.
-
I suspect measurements will be all over the place. Ratios will be solid for a while, likely better than 10:1, but sun angle and warm ground will play tricks. Someone will measure 4" on their driveway while their neighbor with a measuring board calls in 8", and some nerd who clears and measures three times will get into KU territory.

Someone on a line between Warwick and Pittsfield will see a foot IMO. Impressive dynamics throughout the column, high PWATs, classic crosshair signature.

I hiked up to Skytop in Mohonk for sunrise and had a great undercast to go along with the snow-crusted trees. I think it's the first time I've seen that combination locally. I'll upload a couple of the shots later if I remember.

Nicest morning of the winter. March always delivers.
-
Getting quite foggy out there now at about 30/30F. Hoping the snow hangs on trees until daybreak so I can get some nice photos.
-
An even 4.0" here as precip winds down. My biggest storm of the season, laughably.
-
3.7" here so far. Nice paste job, looks beautiful... and all this without ever having gone below 32.
-
I'll bite. 2" of snow during the day is much preferable to me vs. 4" at night, all else being equal.
-
Coming down really nicely at home. Hopefully some of those wispy echoes in eastern PA get shored up a little.
-
Had about a half hour of close to heavy snow with big aggregates in Kingston, stuck to almost everything almost immediately except paved surfaces. Much less intense now.
-
I'm always baffled by the nihilistic lamentations about snow not really counting for anything if it melts within a few days. How long does it have to sit on the ground before you allow yourself to enjoy it...
-
Strongest gusts of the night/morning here in the last few minutes, thanks to daytime mixing. You can definitely tell it's spring now because it's not frigidly cold after 8+ hours of turbo CAA.
-
Hah, that's awesome. Zevon is such an underrated artist. Even as my music taste evolves over the years his work still holds up for me. Excitable Boy is timeless.
-
62F under clear skies at 9 pm on March 6th. What a time to be alive.

I can't believe it's March and we're still doing "the good pattern is 10 days away."
-
Skiing isn't even that great in the Catskills. It's pretty far down on the list of reasons one might go there.

Agreed, very much like a song and it helps to 'sing' it a little instead of just trying to rattle off digits. (At least at this level of memorization... the guys who can recite tens of thousands of digits are clearly on another plane.) I've had 101 decimal places committed to memory since I was a kid. After that last "double seven" my pattern mostly falls apart and it becomes a lot more rote which isn't my strong suit.
