This looks like a classic Oswgo County event but extreme no. Onondaga can get in on some of it. I'd be thinking 2-5" is not unreasonable, based on past similar looks. There's up and downside potential though...

Right? I got 6.5" total where he had 10. I did have 5" a few weeks back but missed his 8" dump prior to that. If We do get a bit of ZR Sunday could act like a driveway sealer for our snow "pack."

They mean some serious $ for me on storm duty. Of course unending 16+ hr days get old real fast.

Yeah, rt 31 has a lot of retail these days. I live just north of there. I like my location, semi rural but a short drive to Rt 31 for the 3 trips to Home Depot when working on home projects.

This is true. We start seeing power line issues at around 0.5" ice accretion.

"Tea Kettle Effect" snow attm here in Clay. Strictly speaking it's probably not tea kettle snow but similar. Clear sky, no wind, very fine crystals falling...

5.8" today on 0.23 liquid equivalent. That's some serious ratio. 25:1. Fake snow! Looks wrapped up here. Still haven't cracked 6" for a single event. We had a 5" LES event back in early December. Sad.

Heaviest is slowly sagging south but rate is still pretty decent here. Some backfilling seems to be occurring for now.. Looks like another 2" has fallen.

Frictional effects causing some lift I believe...sort of like a pileup, airmass gets backed up slightly and lifted and wrings out precip as it moves from lake to over land... At least that's my crude understanding.

It's over me also. Easily 1"/hr stuff. Probably more.

Radar looking pretty stable/solid attm. This could hang in a while perhaps. nws has 1-4" here this eve. Which might be on.

SN+ has slipped back in here. With wind.

Better warmer than colder!

Still coming down decent though. Keep hope alive! FYI, just checked in on our local Sizzlemeter (otherwise known as Hancock Field thermometer)...26F at noon while 8 or 9 WeatherUnderground reporting spots in vicinity have 22-24F. If their temp data is going to be biased High every.single.f*cking.day, pretty sure I don't want to hear about CC out of NWS.

Just measured...3.5" as of noon...

Today's 00Z GooFuS had a nice hit for everyone. Out at about 348 hours....it was also forecasting the pandemic to end by then.

We've picked up probably 2" in past hour...

Agreed. Best looking snowfall of the season right now. Probably 1"/hr. It won't last an hour but nice to look at.

Agree totally. They have a nice stadium but... I think @CNY_WXsummed it up well regarding SU's Dome. It works for them, in part (IMO) because you know that SU football is going to get azz hammered most of the time so why sit outside in the elements and be miserable watching that? Of course, before recent upgrades the Carrier Dome had no ac (perverse for a Dome named after an HVAC company). It could be a hotbox in there during September matches. I remember a few years back watching a noon time kickoff vs FSU, it was literally in the 90s inside the Dome. I had a full sweat going just sitting there. Was brutal. Even FSU seemed to melt in the SU Sizzle!

Now we enter the event phase where the snow slackens, the sun peeks out, the radar looks confounding, and we stare at the NWS snowfall maps and despair.

The main eastern US snowbelt of SNE is scoring big time today. SNAFU in progress.

About 0.8" at 8 a.m. here, could be about 1" now, which feels like a win already. We picked up a heavy dusting from the synoptic fringe last night. Would have been a tough measurement call as to 0.1" or T. Fortunately the lake has saved me from that excruciating dilemma.

About 1/3rd to 1/2 depending on the year.

Yeah, Jan in trouble other than random LES...

You gotta move to the snowbelts of the mid south to get reliable snows!
