It looks like the largest flakes of the storm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just poking my head in to see how this area did, and you are 100% correct! The new page sucks and while you can get to old Intellicast radar, it was suck in the past for most of this storm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I had to resize this almost down to nothing haha But i did notice the bright banding overnight in the western mohawk valley.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Best snowfall of storm coming down right now. Maybe we crawl to 10" by the time it wraps up in a couple hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winter_rules Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 In NW Delaware County we had about 9 or 10in by 3AM, then switched to sleet and freezing rain and actually reached 33° at some point this morning! Down to 23° now and back to all snow. This storm will provide a solid base on top of frozen ground for outdoor activities. It was interesting because, for the past several days, the models showed us in a mix for several hours, just like what actually happened. However, most of the forecasts did not seem to acknowledge that possibility until late yesterday. It’s surprising because the warm air always seems to push a little farther north than the models show, and they were showing this for many days leading up to it. I have concluded that meteorologists must be eternal optimists just like snowmobilers and skiers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Fulton spotter reported 10" on 0.68" LE , so a little better ratios up north.. If anything the models busted with precip amounts for the southern part of the county.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasim Awan Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 We're getting hammered by 2 inch per hour rates here in Ticonderoga and there's already 17 to 19 inches on the ground from this storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 The NAM developed that quasi dryslot a few runs before the event and it came to fruition, so we got NAMMED again, lol, but I think I got ,more than KSYR, that I can guarantee but lots more to come so I still think we hit 17-18" so we'll see. Arctic air stood tall and didn't budge as it actually got colder, lol! And I don't block ppl, I ignore them the best I can, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortmax Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Nice out there. Eyeballing 15-17 at this point. Light-mod LE right now. Hoping it picks up again. Temps down to 8 from 22 at 11pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_WX Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’m going to have to rely on lake effect to get anywhere above a foot. I think any significant lake effect will be west of Brewerton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I am Bristol but will post more later. I measured a storm total of 12 inches in my backyard. Very dense dry snow so apparent amounts seem low but it’s a lot of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY-WXFREAK Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm at 1F down from 3 an hr ago so! The Cold dry air won out for us guys which is common when we're so far North so if it takes for us to go over to sleet to see bigger flakes next time I'll sacrifice a couple hrs of pingers just to get better rates!

Yeah I definitely got more than 11" so IDK whats going on but I haven't officially measured so.... There are some super high drifts out there close to 3ft but Im real open but wait till the blowing drifting really gets going later + the commencement of the LE on a NW wind!

That was always gonna be the show for me. It’ll basically be like we are in the arctic circle!!! i could see 6’ drifts a legit possibility.

I mentioned this yesterday that in eastern NY, the overrunning warm air almost always exceeds what is progged. Not only did it reach the Mohawk valley, but it streamed about 10-20 miles north of it. We’ve just flipped back to snow here after a 4 hour sleet fest. Snowing moderately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my buddy took a journey to Whitehall via the mountains and the snow powdery but heavy. It's so good here man. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
