Poor Albany on SW/S winds..

Could be, SW flow upslope is pretty good for the southern Greens. 6" high end probably, but we'll see. Thinking 3-4" locally 20 miles north of Mitch.

On a more positive note, hopefully 3-4" here tomorrow.

You have to find a good Doctor that specializes Lyme--problem is a lot or most don't take insurance and many of the big carriers still don't view Lyme as a actual disease so they don't cover a lot of the treatment and treatment plans--like you mentioned in the previous post. I feel like many insurance carriers view Lyme Docs has almost vodoo scientists. Because so many Lyme tests come back negative, I think the big Health Plans are hesitant to cover stuff. It all about getting on the right treatment plan. Just as quick background, last Jan I had these symptoms come out of nowhere---mine where very neuro based and I was losing sensation and tingling in my extremities along with rapid heartbeat, muscle fatigue and extreme muscle tightness, night sweats among others. Got so bad, I was bed ridden for a few weeks and couldn't even work even though I work from home. Super scary and had no idea what was going on. You think the worst and thought it was early onset ALS based on symptoms and my Primary care said the same--which I don't think he should have as it put the fear of God in me. I didn't even think of Lyme, but he tested for it too because of some of the symptoms. Got a positive Lyme test back on all the all Lyme tests---which was a relief in some ways because I knew what the cause was now. Back to the treatment--Primary care did the normal routine of doxycycline everyone doc does--said 5-7 days I would be much better, nope didn't happen. Was worse than ever and getting worse by the day. Was able to get a referral from a friend (who has Lyme) to Lyme specialist in Albany--guy was awesome, unbelievably knowledgeable on the disease and put me on totally different treatment plan with 3 different antibiotics and different supplements. He took more detailed tests too which also showed all positive for Lyme. I never saw a tick or bullseye or anything--he did think or was more recent just because of the the Lyme anitbodies showing up in the test which were off the charts he said. Took a while, but finally was getting better after a few weeks and much better now. Like you mentioned it definitely got pricy because they don't take insurance or insurance doesn't cover most stuff. My health was certainly worth it, that's for sure. You can PM if you want for info on the clinic I went to or more info on it. I know your far from there, but with Covid everything is virtual now anyways. Good luck with getting back on track.

Radar not showing much, but some decent flakes falling here.

Your neighbor averages 17" in April with a mean peak depth of 25" in April too. They will be prancing through Tulips on the CT shoreline while your still snowing.

I wouldn't be able to bread and butter up to 100"+ by this date without some help from a big dog or two.

Yea, most of the county is made up of the Taconics and Greens, so the map is just smoothed out I guess missing some of the valleys that slice through. But I would say even most valleys are near 80 outside of down by DDH like I mentioned.

Has my entire county in SVT above 80"--that's a pretty big county wide crushing, although I think its high down in Bennington where it shows the 82"--don't think it's that high in the extreme SW part of the state. 104.3" here, definitely higher than climo average for sure.

Yep, and even some of the Philly suburbs are top 5 or 10 all time FEB snowfall. Nice zone from there up through SNE

Just peaked into the Upstate NY thread....looks like last night pounded in some of those lake effect snow belts near BUF. Yes, it will sublimate in half by tom morning --wanted to say that before Dendrite or Scooter did..

Looking like a pretty good stretch for the NVT and NNH crew...maybe a bunch of smaller events and refreshers. 5.0" event final here.

Yea JSpin-off the charts anomalous really. I have a small data set obviously, but you can see it below. 15-16 certainly sticks out and honestly it could have been a lot worse here, I recall getting really lucky in a few skinny lake streamers and some other very localized event otherwise it could have easily been 20" here in 15-16. The closest COOP to me which is Peru---was 20" lower than any other season in its 80 year history. 14-15- 103.2" 15-16- 32" 16-17- 99.6" 17-18- 138.4" 18-19-96.6" 19-20-93.2: 20-21-100.7" (STD)

4.4" on .17" LE here with it pretty much wrapped up. Most models I think I had a little more than .17" QPF here, so underperformed on that, but ratios saved the day I guess. I don't remember a lot of talk the past few days about 20-30:1 ratios. Feel like I was expecting needles and sugar, but it was good to great snow growth most of the event.

Razor sharp cutoff in this band cutting through Albany and SVT. Just on the edge here. Still nice growth, best looks to be done by Mitch right now.

Really nice snow growth out here in that western band Will just posted a radar shot of----1PM sun through overcast doing a number on stickage outside of existing snowpack and some trees. Prob 4-4.5" now.

Has there even been a cutter since the Grinch? I honestly cant remember, but don't think so? That's a pretty long stretch if so. Obviously some missed chances too, but only 1 cutter for DEC through FEB I is a good run--even if it was a once a decade cutter..lol.

I think snow depth will become maybe a larger discrepancy moving forward in March since your field is wide open and faces south. I think you said he is heavily wooded.

Look at that 2016 depth.. What a disaster that winter was...ugh.

3.0" on .13" LE. Nice cover for the concrete snowpack. Nice flakes and growth still, but light and Vis pretty high.

Certainly not 20" of Champlain powder OTG

Yes, we would all have hundreds of inches season to date and crawling out second story windows. Nice to look at for a good laugh though.

The GFS will save the Southern Greens as it always does!!!! ha

My kids don't come close to sinking in..I can actually walk a few steps without sinking also and then crater through like I'm falling through lake ice...lol.---19" depth. --I think even a grinch redux wouldn't melt this. I haven't been in about 10 days or so, but would imagine the local hills are in rough shape right now. I'm sure they have been in grooming overdrive.

Purely anecdotal here, but my youngest daughter is 6 and has always been sick over the winter months with a cold, runny nose, cough, sore throat, etc since she was a baby. Not for a few days, but for weeks straight every cold season, she just never seems to shake it. We think she has maybe a weaker immune system as my other daughter almost never gets sick (she is 8). This cold season so far--not even a runny nose for one day, no cough, sore throat, fever-- nothing at all. It's been pretty remarkable. Kids have been in school 4 days a week most of the year here.
