Back to that Ski Patroller at Okemo... she’s posted some great stuff on FB this morning. If her time stamps are correct (no reason not to believe it), they were getting 8” per hour rates. Actually, they were getting 6” SNOW DEPTH increase in 45 minutes... at those snow depths, there has to be settling. I wonder if this was measured on a cleared area if it was actually 8” in 45 min or even more? I mean this is some of the highest documented rates I’ve seen. But to have snow depth increase 6” in 45 minutes is a 8” per hour rate. I wonder if they had rates of 10”/hour on a cleared surface?

I think Binghamton and the Okemo/Ludlow area are the ground zeros. Lots of people on social media with legit 40” or more OTG... that’s not total, that’s on the ground! This woman on Okemo Ski Patrol said they are 1600ft and have a legit 41” of Depth. Says it’s almost chest deep on her in the driveway. They were bare ground yesterday.

That is absolutely sick! No clearing or anything and 40”. Holy shit.

A friend there says the skiing is actually bad, too much snow. Get stuck everywhere.

Not only do you have an obscene band, it’s also at like 1500ft or higher too. I don’t think it matters too much but might have gotten just a little bit extra in those 1500-2200ft inhabited elevations in that area.

No way it’s steep enough for that snow, ha.

Ludlow, VT

Brother in law clearing their place in Binghamton suburbs lol. He’s 6 feet tall.

ALB is over 2.00" of water so far for the storm. That's a healthy dump. Not that fake.

We are at 47" on the SEASON so far at Mansfield, lol. Some of these places are going to be close to that in the last like 14 hours.

Hearing the can’t get cars into the Killington and Okemo parking lots due to too much snow. Okemo a little while ago.

They just had a video from the Magic Mountain area in VT where they showed the on the ground measuring. The ruler keeps going! 34” OTG. That’s insane. Waddling through waist deep snow.

Nice graphical showing of the jackpot. Seeing 44” as the highest in NY near BGM.

Delmar. It borders the Albany city limits to the SW.

And that thing is a beast! I always told him it’s too much for Hudson Valley snow.

My parents have 23" on the level near ALB, just starting to snowblow. My dad is 6'3" so that's pretty solid, ha.

Pulling out of his driveway was insane!

Going to give BGM a run for their money?

That mid-level stuff is solidly north of yesterday's guidance.

That's epic! lol what a bust.

Can see the jackpot axis quite clearly on CoCoRAHS.

Near Magic Mountain, VT.

My parents checking in with 18” so far in the Albany area on the driveway. 1.5” at Stowe though lol, while the family gets 18-36”.

My sister in Binghamton sent these... brother-in-law measured 36" on the ground (which is crazy if you include settling!). If you have 36" OTG, likely easily over 40" with any clearing at 6 hours. His big pick-up truck is reduced to a bump. That's a good sized truck right there that looks like a sedan. I can't get over that garage roof across the road too. That's a stack.

Another foot has fallen since this photo was taken... that's incredible. Binghamton area.
