Just got back from my Jebwalk. Interesting snow consistency. Dense, but light. Sort of like a mixture of powdered sugar and granulated sugar. About 7 inches with heavier returns moving in. Quite a bit of drifting. Took this picture at the beginning of my walk around 1 am.

So your ruler measures Kuchera too?

Yeah, I was trying to find how much the snowpack melted from perusing the New England and New York City subforums. 48 degree dewpoints down there. Yikes.

Wow, only 15 hours here, and true accumulating snow has been 12 hours. So, it took an additional NINE hours for the snow line to go the short distance from ROC to SYR.

Totally agree. I'm about to go out in a bit, as work is closed Friday because of the storm. Woo hoo!

Yes, the entire county, as this is a widespread event.

Love your dog. That's very similar to the video I took last winter where the neighbor stopped me at 1 in the morning (after he took a loop around the block in his jeep) and voiced "neighbor concerns" as they saw someone on their Ring cams 'scoping out homes." I wonder how he would have responded if I told him the truth: "No, really...the only thing I care about in your yard is how much snow you have."

Seems like all the 0Z runs are bringing another solid 8 to 10 inches to Onondaga county and CNY area.

Tim is picking him up on the way. Could you imagine THAT car ride???

Yup. There it is. What a disgusting reminder.

I remember growing up in Lancaster county and hearing that sickly sound during the many ice storms of the 1990s. Still makes me cringe.

It's one of the long-standing jokes on here that I despise Carol Yerdon (not really) and the touting of her snowfall amounts from atop her big Yerdon snow pile.

Sounds like a good competitor for that Yerdon lady in N. Redfield who takes 5,000 pictures of herself cheerleader jumping off snow piles.

No, the sleet hasn't made it much further north than a line around Elmira to Cooperstown to NW of Albany. Lots of Upstate NY is in snow and no sleet.

Yeah, their discussion was very interesting. That cold dense air is sliding in underneath and refreezing the precip.into sleet in the valleys, while it rains and freezes up on the hilltops, closer to the warm layer above. Pure Science weenieism!

I was hoping that for once those models would be wrong and we could get REAL snow in a synoptic system here. You've lived here longer, so you know the climo better. As I've asked so many times, how on earth do we actually get to the average of 130 inches?? lol... Seems like so much always goes wrong. But like I mentioned a couple of times, these SWFEs are not ideal for Syracuse with the influences of topography to our south and northeast. We live and die by way of the coastals of yesteryear. Still lots left in this system though...and perhaps the lake can get more involved than current thoughts. That enhancement has saved us a couple times since I've lived here. We get those hours of pure fluff.

Syrmax stands solid on snowfall statements. Sleet-sized snowflakes falling in the synoptic snowstorm suckhole Sizzlecuse.

What happened to our colder weather for after this storm? Looks like mid to upper 30s all of a sudden much of next week. What has happened to the days of yore with highs in the 20s and replenishing snow showers?

Boo. I hate that you're left out of the snowfall. How much of your snowpack is left?

Woot! About to record the largest synoptic snowfall of the winter so far!

Sizzlecuse laughs at this and says "hold my beer."

Meh...it's rice snow with paper shredder shredded feathers mixed in. The only kind of synoptic snowfall I ever see here.

Licked finger to the skies seeing if that north wind enhanced your snowflakes yet?

Well, perusing through this thread this evening, I see @Syrmax has taken on the roles of Snowflake Scrooge, Snowfall Scrooge, Snow rate Scrooge, and Snow depth Scrooge.... Snatching away all the lollipops of any little snow weenies he can get close to.

.....and snowflake size!
