I'd gladly forfeit futility for another nice snowfall or two. But if we limp over the threshold by way of sleet and slush, then that would be annoying.
I got up early and scraped it with the tractor before it had a chance to melt.
It did although still not great. This could be a snow profile with strong enough precip rates, which we don't really get on that run. A little elevation will help prolong the frozen, as you expect this time of year.
Not really. NESIS (now RSI) was the basis for the KU canon, and that scale was specifically designed to capture the breadth of societal impacts. You can have a historic snowfall in one city over another, but a KU needs the regional extent by definition.
So 4.7" was my peak new depth as far as I'm aware. Waiting on the Stratus to melt out for LE. Pretty much AWT totals across the board except for the northern metro doing a bit better than I expected.
Same current conditions as @gravityloverand same festivities as @sn0w. Glad we could do this at least once before spring.
Trying to decide on a location for tomorrow's sunrise hike. I've had Storm King on my mind for days, but that million car pileup on 9W is testing my nerve a little...
The northern lights were visible at least as far south as the Catskills and Poconos last night. I slept through it, naturally.

It would be hard to blame them for grading on a curve. This is, after all, the first widespread significant event of the season, with all the heightened impacts that come with that.
That's a solid map I think. The initial overrunning stage looks juicy enough, but assume climo ratios or slightly worse, given mediocre snow growth soundings throughout. Nothing wrong at all with a 4-6" deal.
