BGM has recorded an additional 4.1 yesterday and now has 35.3 for the event. The 2016-17 year is now all alone atop the record books with 131.7 breaking the 1993-94 single season record of 131.3.

That makes for 2 straight record breaking winters with 2015-16 total of 32.0 setting the all time record for least snow. Talk about a rebound!

And we still can't manage to win the snowball award over SYR lol. All good.

Just cant believe the totals rolling in from across the state (other than NYC and LI, lol!), and its still not done! Could not draw up a more perfect storm track and solution for entire upstate region, just can't do it. BGM AFD mentioned a report of 48.8 from Hartwick NY near Oneonta but it hasn't been published in any of the PNS Statements, so that seems to be the unofficial winner statewide. Seems a bit high with Oneonta at 33, but who knows, maybe CNY Rider can corroborate that. 

Not much showing up on models for snow next 10 days at least synoptic wise, to this may very well be the last legit snow event for many before Spring, who knows. Just need another inch or 2 to set the all-time single season record here for most snow, THEN this winter can be done.

EDIT: NM, Looks like Rider says its legit!

I can't personally verify that report.  I don't know exactly where that was recorded.

I was stuck at work during the storm so all I could go by was my wife's measurements of snow on the ground. We did not do the proper measure and clear method with a snowboard.

Measured in various spots in the yard, by Wednesday morning we had between 36 and 39 inches on the ground.

Final totals for WNY.  Lockport in Niagara County FTW.  If anyone else can find a storm that dropped such widespread 20"+ totals from BUF to SYR to the Catskills to ALB to Plattsburgh, I'm all ears...I don't think the Mar '93 storm had such widespread heavy totals.

I had said this would be bigger in upstate that 1993. 

I give you all the credit man.  You said it would be a top 10 and I doubted it, definitely exceeded my expectations.   It was the perfect setup for extensive heavy lake enhanced snows.  Additionally, I really need to be more patient waiting for the mid and upper level lows to close off on these late blooming miller B..I should know better, haha.  

I cant remember a time when so many people received significant snows over such a large area without a single mixing issue great stuff.

Tim shows how a non-redtagger can be enthusiastic about snowstorms without being a weenie.

So this is probably it for the winter.  I can't really imagine anything worthwhile on the horizon from this point out.  Kind of sad to see it go after this last storm really delivered the goods and reminded me how good it can be around these parts.  I'm thinking the snow tires will probably come off sometime next week.

Its been an interesting "winter"...see you in the fall everyone,  have a good summer!

To bad this forums gets so quiet in the spring summer. Would be nice to have more around for severe weather season. Even though we don't get it like Midwest. I have seen this forum go weeks without a post in summer. I will miss some of your posts. But look forward to seeing some of you back in Sept October time.

Oh how I wish we had an active severe weather season around here.  Rochester barely even got a thunderstorm for the entire warm season last year.  The Lake erie shadow absolutely destroyed any chance we had the whole season.

I'm sure I'll pop in if a particularly high risk event evolves or perhaps a flood risk, etc...other than that...its just a very low key time of the year for the great lakes.

It's been an interesting winter for sure. If not for this last storm that dropped over 2 feet here this winter would have been the worst winter I have ever personally experienced in Buffalo. Without it we would have been right around 50" for the season which is roughly 50% of average. With how warm it was too it felt like spring much of the time in January and February. Crazy that a mere 150 miles away Binghamton has set a record for their snowiest season on record. It's been fun (and frustrating!) but I'm looking forward to the next lake effect season, especially in my new house in West Seneca which seems to be the bullseye for the big time lake effect events (Dec 2010, Nov 2014), lol. Best time of year is the November and December period when we can get the mega lake effect events when the lakes still warm and the cold air is fresh! Until then, hope everyone enjoys the summer, and I will pop in also if we get a big rain event or severe thunderstorms. Also crazy to think it's been 10 years since I started posting on the forums (back on Eastern)... here's hoping to another great 10 years! Best weather forum around!

I'm only throwing in the towel because of that march sun.  It decimates snow, the amount of melting yesterday and Thursday was quite impressive, even under very cold 850's.  

Very nice to see us stay snow the whole time this morning.  A nice inch really freshened up the snowpack.

This is funny, best rates I've seen in a synoptic event in a while including this last monster.  If it had snowed like this, for the amount of time it did, with this last event we'd of gone over 40" easily, lol!

Huge amount of settling and some melting. I measured 16" depth this morning. I didn't get to measure totals directly during storm here... got some measurements from kid (21") but he wasn't clearing snowboard every 6 hrs, etc.  Hard to believe KSYR had 35" storm total and my measurement was only 21" although if we did have ~35",  50% would have settled/melted in about 3 days, which seems a bit much even with a mid March sun angle as it was cold last few days. So I sort of think we did have much less than 3 ft IMBY.

Of note...only 4 NWS/FAA observing stations verified Blizzard conditions despite the widespread number of warnings that were hoisted: Monticello NY, Oxford CT, Portsmouth NH and Concord NH.
