Eduggs can put away his AR-15. 

The area where I used to live at 1400ft in eastern Rensselaer County is getting annihilated.  It's one of the best hybrid upslope setups I've seen locally in years.  Sadly for me, I left the area right after the sorry end to last miserable winter.

Here's a new twist...

Snow accums by elevation:

1500ft...1.5"

900-1400ft...Trace to 0"

600-900ft...1"

I sh*t you not I cleaned an inch off my car at 750ft and there's nothing on the ground at all between 1000-1400ft.  

Look at my photos from earlier at my house, also the web cams at the base of the resort show snow.  But there's bare ground in between.

I drove uphill and the snow decreased to nothing.  This is 1300ft.

I am so confused.  Literally one of the oddest things I've ever seen.

Is it still snowing through that bare layer or is it rain with snow below that? I'm assuming it's snowing and melting on contact because idk how you'd produce a flake in the BL with a temp near 32F. Maybe being above that inversion the past couple days torched the soil temps and now it can't accumulate. ;)

I actually was thinking about that.  We radiated a bit in town last night before getting capped.  And in town has been frozen solid each morning with frost while it was like 45F up at 1200-1500ft.  

Maybe we were just cold enough in town that the aggregates could more easily stick and the mid-slope was torched for several days?  No idea but its very weird.  I've never seen that.  Judging by my house, the spot where that photo was taken should be plowing.

Some of the impressive snow reports along a line from around Chatham to West Sand Lake in ENY (and even just west of those towns) are coming from relatively low elevations.  The upslope is starting just a few miles east of the Hudson in some cases.  It's a really neat event for that area.

That whole area in extreme ENY is getting crushed right now..radar is impressive

7" as of 10:30 in Lenox, MA at 1,145'. Wet, heavy birch bending snow. Snowing moderately at the moment...concerned about power outages as wind increases.

Wow, nice.  Friend just called me from Berkshire East - nothing there but a coating that melted already.

Sorry MPM.

Anyone know if I-91 is in good shape for VT/NH border? Radar looks like it should be clear.

Clean and clear.  Snow was much further W than i-91 You wouldn't even know we got rain .5" rain here, wind has already dried the roads.

lol raining at 900-1400ft on the way down the road but snowing in the village and at 1500ft.  Craziest thing I've seen yet.  As I left the resort parking lot, snow went from 1.5" to 0" between 1500-1400ft.  Then it changed to rain.  Then a few miles later as I'm getting home at 750ft it goes back to snow with a paste on the trees and grass.
