DRVTS

Been snowing light but steady here in n putnam since 7:30.  

1/3 inch on the board.  really no virga this am.

incoming radar looks decent.

I have the "norlun board" in place just in case...

First few feathery flakes in Norther Putnam co currently.   Seems early.  No virga?

66 today. I got peepers for the first time

Could we be looking at a "peeper-paster" storm?

Did the CCB already move through?  Where did it set up?

closing in on 6"  moderate snow  31.3

Wet manglers mixing in

temp 36.1  carmel 850ft

temp steadily dropping since dark

At what point in the storm will the IVT begin to present itself.  It seems that it's position will be the difference between 2 and 10 inches.

I dont know how the NWS still gives Putnam 6-12 when the forcasted temp never drops below 33 for the entire storm.

What will be the over/under elevation number that makes or breaks the big accumulations...

It was 32.4 degrees for the whole storm yesterday, and I got 2 inches.

(850ft in Carmel)

.3 degrees lower  would have probably yielded  6-7 inches 

This storm is like Forest's box of chocolates...you never know what youre gonna get

So when does the He-Man's American Weather Snow Weiner Snowstorm Chasing  Club have its first official meeting,  Imagine this whole crew meeting up and heading to the center of the bullseye with a storm like this?

Maybe starting a Snow Storm Chasing Charter company would be a winning business idea as these winters continue to deprive the depraved snow weenies

We would be the first chapter.

1 inch at 850ft carmel 32.2

Shes coming in hot...overperformer?

Glad you are still checking though.  Keep us updated

if only we were in the bull's-eye seven days ago....

37.2 here. Looks like the cold is moving south of Albany nearing Norther Dutchess co.

37.2 in norther Putnam Co.  Seems about 3 degrees lower than expected at this time.  Not sure if it is meaningful, but they have my area changing to freezing rain at around 4am.

I say the main roads will likely be ok, but side roads a gamble.  The mains will be salted heavily.  I think I will close the Animal Hospital mainly due to staff commuting/ many from Dutchess.  

You should check now and ask if the Dr had any other cancellations next week.  That is a good way to get an appointment sooner than March.

Icing threat starting to look real and potentially damaging.  Get your salt (fyi-avoid calcium chloride where your dogs walk)

That's some pure-blood snow-loving emotion right there.   I feel ya.  But you will over perform.   Enjoy the dynamics.   Heavy wind storm incoming 

The true pure-blood weenie cherishes every measurable amount, and looks forward to a better day.

Looks like it's pretty much over for wave 1 here.

I'm going to call it at 1.5 inches and try to pretend that this never happened and lick my wounds and move on.

52 inches for the season now and 13.5 inches otg so I can't bitch too much.

Is radar filling in for round 2 over PA?

I am relishing this 

How long can this rotating band stay over us in the HV? it looks like it means to hang for a while the way that moisture is streaming in from the sound and east. 

After last weeks ice.   Had to stop on the way to work...

.8 inches of ZR.?  with no thawing all week?   That is a disaster if it occurs.  Esp because the nyseg trucks have not been mobilized like in past storms in preparation.

Is that really a possibility   That is major power outages, with sub zero temps all week.

NWS has not even mentioned that kind of ice event all week, and now still says only up to .2  ZR possible.

watch out.....
