GSB Cities	The 2019 - 2020 Snow Season	Normal Average  to Date	This Time  Last Season	Normal Seasons Average	All Time Season  Snowfall Record
Albany	24.9	4.0	10.4	60.2	112.5 inches (1970 - 1971)
Rochester	23.2	9.0	18.8	99.5	161.7 inches (1959 - 1960)
Binghamton	17.3	8.2	26.3	83.4	135.2 inches (2016 - 2017)
Syracuse	15.4	12.5	23.0	123.8	192.1 inches (1992 - 1993)
Buffalo	14.1	10.6	14.2	94.7	199.4 inches (1976 - 1977)

Does anybody really expect Albany to win this?  Remember the Washington Nationals started out slow too.

Jim Teske on Channel 9 reported someone measured 15 inches at Brewerton.  I don’t know where they’re located because I measured a total of 9 inches and I don’t think that 15 inches falls in line with any of the other reports in the area.  There were some 10 inch reports on CoCoRaHS in Onondaga and Oswego counties but nothing approaching 15 inches.

Snow has picked up here as the moisture moves in from the east.  Unfortunately the temperature is in the mid 30s.

What is up with this dry wedge in the Syracuse/Northern Finger Lakes area? Persistent...while it snows all around.

I know I am partially to blame...lol

We’ve got a pretty good area of moisture moving in from the east on radar of it can survive the rest of the trip.  Another 0.6 inches of snow this morning puts me just about at 9 inches for the storm.  I’ve given up on making a foot but 10 inches is a nice round number.

8.3 inches of snow and 1.16 inches of LE for the 24 hours ending at 7 AM gives a ratio of 7.16:1.

Exactly.  Two Yuge "must lose" matches upcoming against the Deadskins and Dolphins.  Yesterday was a perfect day for the Giants draft with all the sh*tty teams winning, other than us.  We are even in the game for #1 overall with the Bungles beating the NY Mess.

I was a little concerned yesterday that the snow in NJ might have thrown Rogers off but fortunately the warm nose did its job. 

Did you forget where Rodgers plays most of his games?  Yesterday was a day at the beach for him, lol.

4.7 inches overnight to go with 3.6 yesterday brings me to 8.3 for the storm and it’s still snowing moderately.

Snow has picked up in intensity here in the last 15 minutes.  There are some areas of heavier snow south of here.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next 12 hours.

I have snow mixing back in with the IP.

True pingers along with what looks like partially melted and refrozen snowflakes.  Temperature 26.

KSYR is now reporting freezing rain and sleet.  Still snow here but we’re only about 10 miles north of the airport.

How would we know?  Constant commercials.  That's why i enjoy soccer on tv better.  I'll flip back to watching my Giants get decimated once the Bundesliga and Premier League matches wrap up for the day.

After Rodgers moved down the field for a touchdown the Giants responded with one of their own.

Snowing heavily in the Giants/Packers game at the Meadowlands. 

KSYR now reporting -SNPL

Whiteout here!!

Still snowing here closing in on 3 inches.

 Visibility is less than 1/4 mile right now.

Snowing heavily now.

Snowing moderately here right now.  No signs of PL but a few snow grains are mixed in.  My deck is covered and grassy surfaces are getting there.

First huge flakes here at 10:35.

Who you think the scientists get money from?

So you think scientists have no ethical standards?

I measured 3.2 inches of snow and 0.49 inch of liquid which shows how much mixing occurred.  It’s been snowing steadily for the last 2 hours with good flake size.

Now I see VV stands for vertical visibility when the ceiling is indefinite.
