This band keeps regenerating,also the back edge has a band forming. Good lift in the area.

It doesn't look that way to me.  There does seem to be a little narrow enhancement along the back edge, but it's marching right along.

[doncat]

1" here temp at 29°.

[Nibor]

Inch to an inch and a half here. 

[gravitylover]

Eyeball has it at 3". Gotta get out and shovel again soon. Uggh

[LoboLeader1]

Judging from radar, it looks like the clipper should be out of here by 9AM.

[Intensewind002]

Actually snowing heavily and sticking on a SW wind, who would've thunk it

[WeatherGeek2025]

NWS has temps near 50 on Saturday.

Was snowing real nicely when I awaked at 5:15am. Just went out to feed the birds, probably an inch on the landscape wall (not official - just eyeballed). A nice, fresh coating of white. 27F.

yeah, I don’t know what flooding rain they’re talking about.

 

Gradual melting with snow chances over next week

The good news is that flood cutters with 50°+ temps and 2”+ of rain with a high snowpack are relatively rare events. Most of our winter systems outside the blizzard a few days ago have been precipitation challenged. The last really high profile one was on Christmas 2020 with the 40” snowpack around BGM. Before that it was January 1996. None of the reliable guidance are currently showing a very heavy rainstorm with inches of liquid at least for the next week. So looks like a slower melt at least over the next week.

I'll be shocked if they measure anything after 7:00 am today. They're now at 43.2 for the season, with all of the snow they leave unmeasured or compressed between their 6 hour measurements they would probably be approaching 50 this year.

They haven't had a 50 inch season since the back to back 50 inch plus seasons of 2013/14 and 2014/15, would be nice to make it this year.

[Brian5671]

3 inches here!

Maybe they're reading this and finally realize we're onto them LOL. Now we just need the 19.7 modified to the 21-21.5 it should be.
