  1. I stayed up until 2 watching the snow approach from the east only to fall apart as it hit I81. The heavy snowfall didn’t reach here until about 5. That has moved off to the west but it’s still snowing steadily here.
  2. Just measured 3.3 inches, most of that fell in the last 3 hours.
  3. Pouring snow right now. Eyeballing it looks like about 3 inches so far. When I went to bed around 2 there was hardly anything.
  4. I’ve got steady light snow right now. I wish the flake size was better.
  5. I’ve got solid returns moving in here. Rome is just upstream and is reporting 1 mile visibility. Behind that Eric is reporting 2”/hr. At Amsterdam.
  6. Hope you hold onto that for a while. I’m not sure if that will make it out here.
  7. Just saw a report on NY1 of 19 inches in the Bronx. Looks like it’s raining down there now.
  8. I just saw channel 3’s forecast. Their in house model doesn’t show snow starting in Syracuse until around 10 tonight. The heaviest snow will be between midnight and mid morning tomorrow. Lighter snow during the day then another burst tomorrow night tapering Wednesday morning. 6-12 over Syracuse, 3-6 over southern Oswego County.

  10. Look at that classic warm conveyor belt/ cold conveyor belt.
  11. I think you’re heading to the wrong part of the state. The governor loves sending plows to NYC and Long Island. 200-300 miles down the thruway with plows attached does wonders for those plow trucks.
  12. I was beginning to think it wasn’t going to freeze this year but once the weather got cold it doesn’t take long. I’m sure the ice fishing shacks are out in force although I believe the ice needs to be 4 inches thick to be out on it.
  13. The lake is completely ice covered right now so any influence would be minimal.
  14. Mother of Stationary Snowbands aka that word we don’t use on this forum that begins with d.
  15. I may just avoid this board for the next 2 days. Too much excitement then disappointment from run to run. Used to be nice just knowing a storm was coming then letting the anticipation build. Sometimes you were rewarded sometimes you were disappointed but at least it was only one time not every 6 hours.
  16. Except it covered most of central New York. Here’s a 500 mb chart from the storm.
  17. I was 11 years old and living in Little Falls when this storm hit. It was the storm that got me interested in winter weather. No school for a week. My older brother was in the Navy stationed in Groton, CT and he came home on a weekend leave on Friday with no clouds in the sky. He joked with his buddy who rode with him that if there was one flake in the air on Sunday they were going to call that they were snowed in. It turned out that they couldn’t get back to Connecticut until Wednesday. I think what really made this storm memorable were the extremely high winds. Whenever a road was plowed it would almost immediately drift back in. The Thruway was closed and hundreds of people were stuck at the rest stop just outside of Little Falls. The snowmobile was relatively new then and people with them were used to bring essential supplies to people stranded in the countryside. Because of the advances in snow removal I don’t think a similar storm would have the same impact today although it would still be bad in the lake effect areas. Edit: as an interesting side note the all time record low temperature of -26 in Syracuse was set a couple of days before the storm hit.
  18. Euro brings snow into Syracuse Tuesday morning and it keeps snowing until Wednesday evening.
  19. I agree. I didn’t expect this discussion to take off here.
  20. I agree that nothing will go back to normal but that’s because the virus will be lurking in the background.
  21. And with behavior like that the curve will be heading up again.
