Round 2 in Pulaski, New York. Reached a foot since about 5 pm and is now 4-5” or more per hour. Love the yellows on radar.

katabatic started following 12/31-1/1 Possible Snow Showers/Squalls to Start 2026 and January Discobs 2026

Yes. This is where @dailylurker and I have our home base. Very intense rates for the last 2 hours. We’ve picked up at least a foot since 9 am…located about 10 miles east of Lacona, NY at around 1,400 feet. This is the “main” road.

12/31-1/1 Possible Snow Showers/Squalls to Start 2026
katabatic replied to bncho's topic in Mid Atlantic
How much have you received since snow began? I would like to take your total, subtract a bit so I can keep my tally going. -
Made it to the Tug. About 2’ otg with about 45” forecast. We are northeast of Pulaski. Anyone who gets a wild hair and wants to attempt a chase, this is a big ol cabin with tons of room. LFG!!
-
Om, is it going to snow today lol? The mulch isn't even covered.
-
It's over 40 degrees colder than at midnight. Serious front! Have a very light dusting otg although the snow is gradually increasing in intensity.
-
Eh, the plows up there are amazing - not sure you'd be OK in a Mustang, but pretty much anything else you'd make it. There is an extra bedroom in the Airbnb. Pack your laptop (I am) and c'mon up - dead serious. 5 feet of snow, temps not rising above 20 for the duration and absolutely no worries about whether or not you'll get a half-inch in downtown DC in a 10 day "fantasy" run My kinda winter.
-
I was just at the Oakland Wal Mart getting supplies for the LES chase and OMG was it windy (61 early this AM and 43 and dropping now)...anyways, gladly blowing the sh*t out of this puke airmass. Happy it's returning to winter for your visit and think we'll get well over a foot between today's snow and later in the week...LFG!
-
Thanks! Booked the central Tug from Tuesday - Sunday up at about 1,350 ft. @stormtracker this is the kinda trip you need to book w/the BF and leave Florida to the gators and grannies lol.
-
Oh god, please no blizzard warnings here lol. The last two were sunny and rainy. Further north, looks like a long duration lake effect event east of Ontario. Think I'm heading up there Tuesday after work, trying to split the uprights between bands. GFS paints around 80" totals for the week. Likely overdone but this is a potent front with decent anafrontal moisture so if a band can stay stationary for a period of time, crazier things have happened. It'll be my first chase of the season and I'm just itching to get up there.
-
This has turned into a pretty intense day. Heavy snow showers continue, temp is now 30 degrees lower than midnight and while it's next to impossible to measure, I imagine we've received 2 inches so far. The Wisp cams are fun
-
Temp was 54 at midnight and has now fallen to 32 with very heavy snow showers moving through and a gust imby to 61 mph. Brief return to winter!
-
Let's hope you're right because temps approach or exceed +40F almost up to the shores of the Hudson Bay around NYE (that's got to be 50-60 degrees above normal?). 12z GFS has essentially no snow (outside of a bit of lake effect or at the highest peaks of New England) east of the Mississippi and south of the US/Canada border. Fingers crossed this is a model burp and some semblance of normalcy ends up being what we actually experience.
