  1. Sure does! I know I've told the story of my experience with 6 inches of sleet in Lancaster, PA. Stuff was a glacier that survived weeks of 40s and 50. Plus...it builds to make HUGE piles that look like you've had a foot of snow. haha I would still prefer a deep snowpack...but a preserved snowpack is also a good thing.
  2. We should make a list of all the cities in the south that have had a bigger purely synoptic snowstorm than Rochester and Syracuse this season. Oh, and we have Seattle and I believe Portland in there as well.
  3. Well, if it sleets hard enough and the rest of the night, we could all get a couple inches of that...lol
  4. Is this inability to get a solid, clean snowstorm a new climate thing? Or is this just normal Upstate NY patterns? I feel like it's just hard here as it was when I lived in Southern Pennsylvania! Thank goodness for lake effect...well, er...yeah.
  5. I think my call of 3 to 6 inches for this area is looking solid. Wish it was more, but..what can you do?
  6. Yes! Walking in it, I felt like I was walking in sugar. It definitely wasn't the easy-to-walk-through fluffy stuff.
  7. This system has had a history of sleet. My Tennessee family had hours and hours of it today. They were supposed to get 6 inches of snow, but instead got a couple inches of snow/sleet/ice mix.
  8. For sure. If we were able to hold on to this all night, we would have quite the snowfall.
  9. Beautiful Jebwalk completed..and I'm alive. Granular sugar just pouring out of the skies. Not large dendrites, but it's coming down so heavy it's adding up. 25 minutes of pure bliss...not worrying about the sleet probably to come. Will reach 3 inches within the hour. Standard synoptic snowfall for this winter season.
  10. Really snowing here! It didn't really start much until about 9:30 ish... Have picked up at least 2 inches since then. So about inch per hour stuff going on in the NW burbs of the Cuse. Time to go for a Jebwalk to enjoy the snow and hope that some paranoid suburbanite doesn't shoot me or call the cops on me.
  11. I could see that. The snow has that icy look to it in their webcam.
  12. Looks like Elmira is still getting good snows. Boss Security Airport Cam (mytwintiers.com)
  13. I am assuming your area does best on a NW or WNW flow like here? So you must be suffering the same fate the Syracuse area has had...except you have fared better than us these past 2 winters. N and W and we get this crap...or S and E and we sublimate.
  14. Ha. Well, I noticed that they did do a subtle (not mentioned) "Onondaga County" forecast change of us only getting a total of 4 to 8 inches by tomorrow now.
  15. I think Rgem is going to be a good model to use in that it is picking up on the snow ratios being less than 10:1 on the Kuchera. Then the ratio changes when we get the system out of here and the lake effect kicks in with higher than 10:1 ratios. Perhaps we'll get some nice dendrites and better ratios when the banding moves through. We'll see.
  16. Rgem caved and has the decent synoptic snow pretty much only in the counties bordering the Lakes.
  17. Freezing rain in Ithaca already?!? I know a couple of the models showed a very brief window of freezing rain before a flip to a heavy burst. If not...it's just another smack in the face to what's been an atrocious winter in CNY.
  18. My 3 to 6 inch call I made this afternoon might end up right...or still too high. lol
  19. Looks like snow in Jamestown. Can see flakes flying around. blob:https://v.angelcam.com/274f7c69-23ef-471d-92e0-3a9af7230a14
