That information has been incorporated into the models.

My most memorable Christmas Eve into Christmas Day storm was in 1978. I was living in Little Falls then. Forecast was for something like 3-5 inches of snow changing to rain. Went to Christmas Eve mass at 8 PM it just started snowing. Came out to about an inch on the car. We went to a friends house, when we left around midnight there had to be close to a foot on the ground. Streets weren’t plowed so we ended up abandoning the car on Main St. and walking to my house. It snowed hard all night and the next morning there was 18 inches on the ground. As we drove around in my brother’s Oldsmobile station wagon trying to get to someone’s house he slid around a corner and tapped a telephone pole. He let out a few expletives and right then there was a flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder. That storm had everything! I was living in Brewerton for that storm. I remember getting about a foot of snow. My brother, the same one as mentioned above, was up from Little Falls with his family for Christmas. While we were at my sister’s house Christmas afternoon reports started coming in of extremely heavy snow falling in the Mohawk Valley. My sister in law called their neighbor back home and she confirmed that they had feet of snow. The Thruway was closed down so they made the decision to stay up here that night. When they got home the next day they found over 3 feet of snow. That was the most memorable aspect of that storm.

Finally some semblance of winter weather in the mid range.

That data was incorporated into the algorithm, lol.

The last time it was visible was 1226.

Slightly off topic but the super conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn occurs on Monday. The 2 planets are so close together ( 1/5 the diameter of the moon) then it will give the impression of the Christmas star. Even this weekend they will be really close to each other. Look in the southwestern sky right after sunset near where the sun sets.

I hope they’re clearing their roofs down there.

12-year-old buried by snowplow in New York https://www.localsyr.com/news/state-news/12-year-old-buried-by-snow-plow-in-new-york/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwAR0RSScw2s1p9y1JuV09A0qQlYWhHcBDBkPS03RDb4yahOwE22DMxZtCnuc

The only way I could measure 24.6 inches here is if I laid the yardstick down flat!

That’s a beautiful setting! Looks to be about the same amount of snow I got.

3.5 inches here, too. Are you still heading to Tennessee for Christmas? That will be our time for a big one, lol.

I have a 4 foot “yard” stick and it’s amazing to think it would be almost completely buried at your place.

I’m almost embarrassed to post this but I measured 3.4 inches this morning on 0.36 LE. A little disappointing, I would have been happy with 4, hoping for 6. The ratio was just about 10:1 which is a little low considering the temperatures. Maybe as Matt (I think) said last night the flakes were being ripped apart which made for a denser snow.

That was almost the exact same scenario I experienced from that storm in Little Falls. Forecast was for something like 3-5 inches of snow changing to rain. Went to Christmas Eve mass at 8 PM it just started snowing. Came out to about an inch on the car. We went to a friends house, when we left around midnight there had to be close to a foot on the ground. Streets weren’t plowed so we ended up abandoning the car on Main St. and walking to my house. It snowed hard all night and the next morning there was 18 inches on the ground. It was 1978 because my sister in law was pregnant with my niece who was born June, 1979. edit: I have to add that as we drove around in my brother’s Oldsmobile station wagon trying to get to someone’s house he slid around a corner and tapped a telephone pole. He let out a few expletives and right then there was a flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder. That storm had everything!

You must be closing in on 6 inches now. Are you on the hill or down in the city?

They’re getting crushed pretty good in Ithaca. Here’s a good webcam on the Cornell campus. https://www.cornell.edu/live-view/

It started snowing here just over an hour ago. Still on the light side, just a coating on the ground.

They have gotten some 2 footers but they’ve also underperformed.

Downsloping off the Berkshires?

Buf - 2 Roc - 4 Syr - 6 Bgm - 18 Alb - 12

Channel 9 still calling for heavy snow tonight. 1-4 for Oswego County, 4-9 for Onondaga County. I’m right on the border of the two zones so I guess about 4 inches for me.

I bought this monster last winter. I probably overdid it, I used it about 5-6 times and it’s a handful. I wanted to make sure I had something that could handle the rare 2 foot snowfall. If I had waited until this year I would have bought a single stage snow thrower, lol. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Toro-Power-Max-HD-1028-OHXE-28-in-302cc-Two-Stage-Electric-Start-Gas-Snow-Blower-38841/306237993

Close to 2 inches for KBGM and KALB.

Looks to be about an inch LE for Syracuse.

It was a nice town to grow up in, especially in the middle of the baby boom. My neighborhood was an ethnic melting pot when I was little. Gradually as the older immigrants started dying off and the mills in town moved out it started to decline. The high school where you’re working opened when I was in 11th grade. It burned down in 1975 (most likely arson but never proved) and was rebuilt.
