Holy shit. I thought it was done but you got 8.7” in two hours, ha!

3” up here. Those are the 7am Cocorahs numbers. At least got the grass covered again lol.

Where’s the band? Lol. These aren’t final in spots either.

Good grief.

Me too. Dumbfounded. Just incredible forcing. The other thing is it was an incredible model bust or forecast bust. The Euro had a place like Ludlow getting 3-6” yesterday I think.

I think there are going to be some good case studies on that mesoband at some point. It had QPF and crosshairs in the DGZ. I bet they still had 2”+ water in a narrow zone in that band. Its fluffy but there’s still water in it based on the reports. Like BGM’s 42” had 2.80” water. Good fluff factor but 2.80” QPF in 24 hours at temps in the teens is nothing to scoff at.

Yeah I mean those rates are the only way to get like 41” of depth in 11 hours. They had bare ground at midnight. At some point it had to be like a foot an hour. Im blown away, I’ve never seen anything like that. 12am... bare ground 11am... 41” depth.

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?
