Summit Snow

I know some people geek out over this stuff so posting from BGM. Big over performer up here IMBY as we are closing in on 3". now showers continue across the area, driven by 2 separate features that is quite interesting. Below 800mb, NW flow has allowed Finger Lake effect snow bands to develop across the central Southern Tier, extending north into Chenango, Cortland and Tompkins county. These bands have picked up in intensity over the past hour and should remain this way through the afternoon hours as a 500mb closed low moves south of the region, injecting added moisture to the lake effect bands but also causing enough lift to bring widespread light snow showers to much of the region. The 2 different processes can be seen well in radar returns; low level, stronger returns representing lake effect snow are moving from NW to SE, while the broad, synoptic scale light snow driven by the mid-level low can be seen spreading from S to N as the low moves to the east. Snowfall amounts were a little tricky in this set up given the 2 different processes at play, but it looks like a widespread 1-3 inches can be expected into the overnight hours across much of the area, with higher amounts across higher elevations of the Twin Tiers as both lake effect and synoptic snow will fall here

19 currently with a dew of 10. They have highlighted more snow and then sleet up here. 2-3"

Definition of "WAR"?

Got down to -7 on the hill here in Clarks Green but some of the temps in NEPA are crazy. Temperatures did drop even a little lower than originally expected with numerous sites in CNY and NE PA now as low as -5 to -15F...with some of the coldest spots between -15 and -20F at this time! Still Water Dam in Susquehanna county PA has reached -21F, Roxbury in Delaware county also -21F and the Cornell site near Harford NY reach -22F... these are the coldest readings so far, and temperatures may drop another 1-2 degrees as we approach daybreak. Even the city of Binghamton has dropped to -6F at this hour, Scranton/Wilkes- Barre is between -6 to -9F in the valley

LOL. I was rooting for the Southern Crew today as we have been spoiled up here in the NE corner. Have had a ton of flakes in the air most of the winter and now approaching 30" since mid November.

No bad for a 30% of Snow Showers earlier this AM.

Yep. Didn't expect a flake but nice light to moderate snow over the past two hours. Could pick up a fluffy inch up here. SWS just posted from BGM on snow moving through. Still at 30% for possibility of snow showers!

Still decent Snow Showers up here. Ended up with just under 4". Close to 25" this December up in some part of NEPA. Going to be a White Christmas finally!
