Have we ever seen the NAM and GFS this far apart ? LOL I think the MRF and ETA would be doing a better job in 1998.

We've had a good number of big snowstorms out here this decade, but yeah in many cases KALB just underachieved.

Snow continues. Still good banding. 21.5" measured west southwest of Schenectady. 29 hours now....

Snow continues here west southwest of Schenectady. 29 hours now.... 21.5" measured.

Happy Thanksgiving Jerry and to all! Let's hope this storm spreads the riches to as many as possible here

The Euro Qpf was suspiciously low with that kind of fetch and sitting there for so long. But it still managed a lot of 12" totals. 6" has already fallen in most places from here to E MA by 12:00 AM Monday (ahead of occlusion before the coastal is really contributing) so the qpf is sparse after that when consider it continues into early Tuesday.

That Midwest low is going to push so much taint ahead of it. I am pretty cautious about things here in ENY, even though some models have bulls eyed us. Some initial snow ahead of the occlusion yeah. Then reliant on a coastal to spin up fast enough to save us. It'll save VT/NH, ME and probably money in the ban for them, but further south and west we need luck.

The winners today... high terrain of the Northern Catskills; ...Greene County... East Jewett 7.5 300 PM 11/24 Trained Spotter West Kill 6.8 527 PM 11/24 WeatherNet6 Around here about six hours of freezing rain and some sleet. Then finally 1.2" of snow this afternoon. Got pretty unlucky being between good bands or we would probably managed more, and you see the Catskills did.

Congrats Ray! You hit the jackpot. :)

About 5.5 inches out here. Light snow with some good moderate bursts when I get under a band. 30 degrees. Far from the coastal storm, but doing ok.

Look at that beautiful greening lawn in the pics....

JB on Accuweather: " U.S. MODELS ABOUT 50 TO 75 TOO FAR EAST Looking at the JMA and Euro has me confident in the ideas, but some adjustments are needed to big city snow amounts, though the heaviest will be west of these cities from D.C. to NYC. The I-95 cities are looking at a 6-12 inch storm with the storm starting as rain then going to a heavy, thumping snow. Snow amounts over 6 inches should reach back as far west as Beckley to Johnstown to Binghamton, where GFS amounts are much lighter, then northeast to north of Eastport, Maine. The storm will probably have some 18-inch amounts over Pennsylvania west of PHL then in southern New England."

At my place in Saugerties, the low was -8.5F and the high was 10F. I was over there checking out the pipe situation in the basement garage. It was 7F when I left there at 5 PM.

Do you guys have Mike Buono (formerly of The Weather Channel) doing forecasts for the HV region of YNN? Here on the Capital District YNN he is the chief met. I'm wondering if all of their wx stuff comes out of one central location such as the Albany studios now. FWIW ...low was -14F up at my house. Cold, but a bit dissapointing since we were already at -13 around 3 AM. I thought we were good for a run at -20 around dawn. Hey if it's gonna be way below zero you might as well go for the coldest. :

Currently -9F and dropping steadily.....

Flurrries and 4F here now. We clouded up and had a half inch of fluff snow here in the pre-dawn. The low back around midnight was -8.5C.

The sub zero party was ended around here though as the clouds have now come in. Up to 0F now.....

The bottom has dropped out here. Down to -7F. I think we are supposed to get clouds later as a trough moves by....to end this free fall.

Hey Sean...glad you found your way over to this new BB . Wow Re: that -7F. I hope the pipes haven't already had a problem there - but no bad news from the tenant. Tomorrow night definitely looks frigid. Hope we get a good storm next week then.

Before we get to the storm....we have the bitter cold tomorrow night and Monday. I wonder how far below zero it will get in the Mid Hudson Valley. The NWS point forecast says -7F in Saugerties. I am considering going down and putting a space heater in the garage underneath our small house in Saugerties that we rent out. The coldest I have recorded there this January was -2F so it isn't the greatest radiational spot, but tomorrow night looks colder. Back in the super cold winter of 1994, we recorded -24F at that location. My all time record there was -26F in January 1982. In that 1994 outbreak some people in the coldest hollows of Saugerties had -30F.

Nuisance light snow here also ...all morning to varying degrees. A temprature of 30.7F with little movement since 8 AM. A half inch or a bit more of this on top of the sleet covering. But it is a beautful sight out there...true winter.

A FAIL for this event really.. ....2" of snow/sleet on the ground here as it winds down now. Very little FZRA fell so I guess that is a win. At times the sleet had a little mixed in, but not enough for any ice acretion other than the slightest glaze. 27F out there now.

22 and light sleet continues. I see a better batch of precipitation is coming north out of the Mid Hudson Valley. Strange that the best echoes have actually been from the Susquehanna region, western Catskills north northeast into the Adirondacks. This qpf max was unpredicted by the models. Meanwhile a paltry .25" (qpf) at best here since this began.

At this point we have very light frozen precip..snow grains and sleet probably. 18F. It really hasn't been doing much of anything since about 9:00 AM. This is starting to seem like an underwhelming event. I'm sure we haven't had more than .2" qpf so this could be a major model bust because at 0Z the NAM was forecasting around .8" and the GFS .6" here.

Moderate to heavy snow here and 16F. at 8:00 AM. About 2" on the ground. I just woke up so not sure when it started.
