  1. I just took a 6 hour snow measurement and got 4.8 inches. Added to 2.5 inches at 7 gives me 7.3 inches for the storm so far. The snow started around 5 AM so it’s been snowing for 8 hours which averages about an inch an hour. Snowfall intensity has decreased recently.
  2. I’m trying to wait until 1 to take a 6 hour measurement but 7 inches sounds close.
  3. Flake size has gotten rather small which is hindering the accumulation. The visibility is still pretty low.
  4. Heavy snow here and at KSYR. Snow increased 1 inch in the last hour, 8 inches on the ground. KSYR 071454Z 28011KT 1/4SM R28/2000V2200FT +SN FZFG VV006 M04/M06 A2909 RMK AO2 SLP850 SNINCR 1/8 P0007 60022 T10441061 56029
  5. The snow’s been somewhat variable in intensity. For a while it let up to about a mile visibility now it’s back to moderate to heavy snow.
  6. It’s funny but the snowfall has really picked up in intensity but it doesn’t show up on radar. I’ve got to be closing in on 4 inches for the storm already.
  7. Flakes have gotten bigger here. Looks like another inch since 7.
  8. Ripping here! Nice sized flakes coming straight down.
  9. I woke up around 6:30 half expecting it to still be raining. I checked obs on my iPad and saw that from Syracuse west it had flipped over to snow but thought there would be a dusting at this point. I was really surprised when I came downstairs to see we had already gotten a couple inches. I just did the 7 AM measurement and I’ve received 2.5 inches already. Snowing pretty heavily right now and it’s only in the first quarter of this storm!
  10. Latest observation from KROC has snow starting to mix in. KROC 070354Z 04011KT 3SM -FZRAPLSN BR OVC005 M02/M03 A2939 RMK AO2 SNB42 SLP962 P0002 I1003 T10221033
  11. It flipped from ZR to IP to SN within 20 minutes in Niagara Falls around 7:30. Buffalo must be getting close.
  12. Channel 9’s updated forecast. It includes the city of Syracuse in the 8-12 area.
  13. Hopefully the sleet means the column is starting to cool. It’s snowing across the lake in Toronto.
  14. 020 ...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO MIDNIGHT EST FRIDAY NIGHT... * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations of 6 to 9 inches and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch. * WHERE...Seneca, Southern Cayuga, Onondaga, Tompkins, Madison and Cortland counties. * WHEN...From 10 PM this evening to midnight EST Friday night. We’re under a WSW and KBGM is calling for less snow than you! SMH
  15. I wonder if local media meteorologists will up their forecast amounts based on the 12Z runs. Right now most of them are calling for 4-8 inches after the changeover tomorrow morning.
  16. I’m sure downtown is a couple degrees warmer than the airport plus solar radiation is starting to become more significant since we’re a week into February.
  17. Did anyone die in that storm? I can’t imagine being lost outside in that.
  18. Like the blizzard that hit Newfoundland a couple of weeks ago? What was the lowest pressure in that cyclone?
  19. Why are you worried in Rochester? There was always going to be taint tonight before the temperature crash. 6Z models are still showing the heaviest snow just to my East. If anything last night’s event was an over achiever. I got 4 inches when the forecast was 1-3.
  20. Moisture is streaming off of the Gulf of Mexico. Warnings (flash flood, severe thunderstorm) all over Alabama and Georgia this morning
