West Point, NY Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Pouring down snow here now but as been the case since about 1 1/2 hrs. after the changeover, snow growth has been lacking. Pushing : :snowman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENYsnow Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 the RA/PL/SN line is creeping very slowly now which could really cut down on accumulations around the ALB area. 00z sounding shows that stubborn warm layer from 800-900 mb. still plain RA here and 31.4. congrats CNY on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cny rider Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Incredible snowfall here near Cooperstown NY the last few hours. Went and did my first driveway clearing, we are closing in on 6 inches already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorizer Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 KALY TEMPERATURES SHOULD APPROACH FREEZING BY 10 PM. BY THAT TIME...LOOK FOR FREEZING RAIN TO SWITCH TO SLEET AND SNOW IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT...AND ALL SNOW FURTHER NORTH AND WEST. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF PRECIPITATION THAT WILL TRAVERSE ACROSS REGION...PROBABLY AN ADDITIONAL INCH (OR MORE) TONIGHT WITH SOME AREAS CLOSER TO TWO INCHES.

Flying MXZ Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Closing in on 4" here now Jim with this nowcast storm. The state had to bring the grader out this am to clear the ice chunks off SR 23. There must have been an ice jam as it wasn't that high near the city. 3.5" here and pouring snow. I don't believe there was any real flooding problems here. Walton looks to get flooded again, but what else is new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutch Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 we went below freezing about 10 am , very slight zfr then turned to snow. didn't accumulate a lot until the sun went down, plus a lot of moisture in the ground from the rain that came overnite. my very unofficial estimate is 8-10" so far, coming pretty good still. down to 21, so what is falling isn't as heavy as what did during the afternoon. watching that backside towards Roch closely!

Avid6eek Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Heavy sleet/frz rain right now and 30.5. With the radar eco's coming up the HV if it was snowing it would probably be the heaviest snow in years falling. Things must be looking good at Logan's house.

Logan11 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Very good snow here - though I think the best snow growth is out toward Cobleskill where I hear they have 6 inches. Maybe 3.5" here....29.8F. It's crazy how this cutoff around here is a lot like February last year. Heavy sleet/frz rain right now and 30.5.

West Point, NY Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 0Z NAM shows 1.75-2.00 precip (all SN) around here Maybe the dude from W. Canada nails this one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYWxGuy Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 0z NAM really locks in the deformation over EC NY. It's .75-1.00 QPF thru 7PM-1AM, then another .50-1.00 QPF squared over the Catskills and vicinity from 1AM-7AM... Our poster from Cooperstown said he was at 6" already. Widespread 20+ totals across the northern Catskills if the 0z NAM is right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roady Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 3.5" here and pouring snow. I don't believe there was any real flooding problems here. Walton looks to get flooded again, but what else is new. 8"+ now water running everywhere still. Gonna be a rotten spring from the looks. We won't be able to pull signs till May with the snow wet and frost problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Maybe (based on NAM and RUC and radar trends) SYR might get to the warning criteria! Folks between Binghamton,Utica and Albany (and north and south of there) should get the mother of God picture out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorizer Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Snowing at a steady inch an hour rate. 5.5 inches in about five hours. Winds picking up. Just had a brief whiteout in a strong gust. Rick, are you getting the wind too, or is it elevation dependent? Very good snow here - though I think the best snow growth is out toward Cobleskill where I hear they have 6 inches.

Logan11 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Quite windy yes and I'm sure I'm over 4 inches.... I may be only at 1K feet but this is a very windy open ridge. Almost every winter we lose a few shingles. 29.5F here now. Snowing at a steady inch an hour rate. 5.5 inches in about five hours. Winds picking up. Just had a brief whiteout in a strong gust.
