  1. Healthy half inch to an inch moving through. Foot prints filling in. I love when it snows in the evening. There's something about it happening while sitting on the couch looking out at the flood lights. Snow growth is excellent, stackable flakes.
  2. Wife and I were in Morrisville getting groceries at Price Chopper and came out to the car covered in snow during the time we were inside. Some good squalls moving through. Looked like Morrisville had a little more snow than Stowe during the past event. Usually it seems like a bit less or warmer, but they might have gotten a local max in the last one.
  3. Haven’t we been tracking a storm for a week now? Sure maybe it hasn’t broken the right way but we have been tracking an event all week.
  4. Low of 2F with some rime/frost on the trees. Very cold.
  5. I won't lie, I root for the ALB to Berkshires axis too from growing up a snow weenie in that area. It can be a good interior snow zone with those marginal thermals and hugging lows.
  6. Frigid out at 11pm. 5-6F on the local ASOS and PWS. Just took the dog out for last time this evening and it is bone-chilling cold. Heat is cranking inside to keep up. Fake heating costs for sure compared to those seeing 20s for temps right now. SLK at -1F before midnight .
  7. GFS is very close for the forum populous. ALB and S/W area gets crushed.
  8. Goes to town for snow in ENY/ALB area that just raked 6+ in this past event.
  9. Wild snow drought for these parts where it can fart 1-3” at least excuse possible, especially early season. Went 3 weeks without a snowfall over 1”. Photo of 1500ft plot at the south end RT 108 winter closure gate this morning.

  11. Morning alpenglow today was awesome as the 2" of snow for the mountain reflected the direct early sunlight. The mountain literally glows for a few minutes each morning at sunrise.
  12. Not going to lie, that sim radar of a firehose has me channeling my inner Tippy with it flashing over to pounding silver dollars. Hard to get that QPF with 850s below 0C and see rain, though I'm sure onshore flow has something to do with it.
  13. My dad said they had just under 7” south of ALB. That’s a solid event.
  14. We all know the Day 6-9 progs will not verify. Literally anything is possible at this time.
  15. There was 6 straight days of precipitation on that 00z GFS run. Several runs have shown the synoptic QPF plus the meso-scale QPF. But that run was literally a week of snow. The strong blocking regime can lead to some solid upslope precip events as upper level lows get stacked over the low level heights. Cyclonic moisture and cold temps.
  16. Thought the same here with around 1.5" on my wife's car.
  17. You gotta think that the easterly tracking lift with the IVT, will get a boost if it makes it far enough east to hit the mesoscale low level ocean effect precip. The low level easterly flow feeding into the synoptic lift has to help.
  18. The fact that no one is weenie-ing out over the fact that radar has larger scale synoptic echoes moving west to east, while low level echoes off the Atlantic are moving east to west is a serious oversight. That’s the type of mesoscale meteorology we are all here for. Look at that OES going against the grain. Absolutely awesome. South Weymouth in the flow.
  19. Grow a pair and have some confidence . Every phone on the planet right now takes a good photo. Take a shot, click add file, resize to medium, and post. The proof is an image that’s worth a thousand words and takes 30 seconds to post. Go full send with a jackpot.
  20. It’s not that hard to measure a wind-less snowfall is it? Just walk outside, find your elevated snow board, and measure what’s stacked on it. That’s what you have. Don’t measure grass.

  22. ~1.5" of leaf blower cold snow (but small flakes) on the wife's car. A foot of this stuff would be amazing. It's cold fluff but ratios have to be near 10:1 still.
