    Yeah, not the best showing over the interior, 0.7" here. The gap between the nor'easter and incoming trough never filled in like I expected. I think we're at the point in the winter where 40 and sunny would be preferable to a sisyphean inch of snow over the course of 8 hours.

    I think 3" is a safe bet for most of us tomorrow. The northern stream shortwave is doing most of the heavy lifting around here, so we don't necessarily the coastal low's forcing, just its moisture. Anyone who does manage to find a mesoscale band enhanced by the CCB could pick up 5".

    Don't exaggerate. We've only been tracking this storm for a few days. 24/14F here, though the rate of cooling has leveled off quite a bit with the high clouds streaming in.

    By and large, most people seem to be back in normal socializing mode. I was invited out by a couple different groups tonight. I think you can guess my feelings on that without too much trouble so I won't get into it, but Saturday night is alive and well.

    Isn't that Harry Potter?

    I only ever had 0.2" on the board, despite snowing for quite a while this morning. Snow depth continues to rapidly shrink and is now down to 8".

    Awful news. I don't believe we've directly interacted much, but I certainly remember reading his posts. Thank you for keeping us in the loop.

    It's extra coming.
  9. Juliancolton
    It's coming.

    The Hudson Valley convergence zone is starting to act up as winds finally turn NNW. Steady light snow here to freshen up the freshening of the first freshening of the pack.

    My lucky snow shovel from childhood broke today. Goodnight, sweet prince.
  12. Juliancolton
    What was your depth before the storm started?
  13. Juliancolton
    It really is honest-to-goodness days and days of snow. Another 1.1" of fluff for what I think should be pretty close to the final total of 16.8", though it's still snowing, so who knows
  14. Juliancolton
    Same here. I'm glad for it, honestly. It looks a lot prettier and it makes measuring much more reliable.
  15. Juliancolton
    I had no power all morning. That was annoying. Got another 1.8" overnight which brought me up to 15.7" using 24-hour measurements. New depth had slumped back down to 12.9". Someone in East Fishkill called in a 25.6" storm total... wonder how many times he had to measure to come up with that.
  16. Juliancolton
    Some of those totals are insane. What a storm... it joins the ranks of the all-time greats for many folks in here. My 24-hour measurement is 13.9" new. Might land exactly on my final call of 14.5" from last night!
  17. Juliancolton
    I'm starting to get bored – I've gained a little under an inch in the last three hours. 12.5" for the storm so far.

    Flake size is still pretty good up here although it naturally varies a bit during the course of a storm. I suspect that the closer you get to the mid-level dryslot, the more riming you have to contend with - that's how you end up with flakes that hit the ground looking more like grauple than conventional snow.
  19. Juliancolton
    The dryslot over the island is getting beaten back and filled in, you love to see it. In a bit of a lull now while we wait for the next band. 11.5" new, 27/26F
  20. Juliancolton
    Whichever way maximizes time spent playing outside

    Check out all that moisture over CT and the Sound headed our way.
  22. Juliancolton
    Getting absolutely blitzed at home. Annihilated. Nuked. Smoked. You name it, it's happening here.
  23. Juliancolton
    Went for a quick snowshoe in Lagrange to intercept that band, and I'm definitely impressed. Visibility just a couple hundred yards at times. I came back after 70 minutes and had to clear 3" of fresh powder off the truck.
  24. Juliancolton
    I will confess that mby is close to falling behind the expectation vs. reality curve. I would have expected more than 3.5" by 2 pm. We stay the course though, that main band has some real staying power it appears.
  25. Juliancolton
    Winds have been pretty much dead-calm here all day. Nice sheltered valley FTW. Those bands will weaken some as they surge north away from the 850mb moisture channel, but should still be good for 1-2"/hr rates imby. Looking forward to it.
