snowgeek Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Temp and dewpoint continue to fall here on north winds. 26F / 14F. Not often that cold advection drops temps during the day in late March here. So much for the high sun angle. 12 NAM cut back to about .11" QPF here. Lookin like a dud here. We'll see.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 the cold air is impressive on the N winds. in the teens to 20 in full march sunshine up here. yeah, i don't know about you but I'm not really complaining about missing the snow this time around. If it were a month earlier, i would be, but I'm in spring mode now. Unless it's going to be an historic storm like early April 1975, I say let the storm miss us.

Gorizer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Working over in Rensselaer and some very light snow has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorizer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Temperature in Albany up to 31, and the dew point CONTINUES to drop. Now down to 11. Seriously starting to wonder if we'll get anything of substance to make it to the ground before evaporating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Snow intensity here at SU has really picked up over the last hour.....just under an inch so far, but based on visibility, we're approaching 1"/hr. stuff at times, with heavier echoes to our west. Models aren't doing well with where the heaviest axis of snow (for this "2nd part") was supposed to be. Looks to verify a good 30-40 miles north of the model consensus from this morning....

nearpass Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I had a horrific drive home at about 3:00 this afternoon After just light snow all day, and clear roads, the temp must have dropped and the snow really picked up to where visibility was just 30 feet or so. There was considerable mixing with sleet, and the previously wet roads got very slick in a hurry! Stopped to get a coffee and witnessed a tractor trailer just about jack knife right ahead of me on a highly travelled 2 lane road, with traffic coming both ways, very slowly thankfully for everyone, so there was no accident. I white knuckled it home, and have to say I'm getting sick of this. I'm ready to work in the yard, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYWxGuy Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Only about 4.5" here outside BGM thus far. Kind of surprised BGM has left the WS Warnings up for most areas as opposed to downgrading to an Advisory as it seems most areas are going to come up short of Warning criteria snowfall... especially at the 24-hour level. That said, some areas in the Central Southern Tier really got hammered last night...

Gorizer Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Between the dry air to the north and the convection to the south, we're getting caught in the squeeze play.

LakeEffectKing Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 1 last one for the road?? lol Few runs now....so it may becoming less of an April Fool's joke! SYR needs another 15 or so inches to break the seasonal record.... and 22 and change to reach the 200" mark...... I need a few more inches to get to 200".....but I'd take 70° too!!

CNYWxGuy Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 1 last one for the road?? lol Was just looking at this on SV. Temp profiles are pretty marginal for snow outside of W NY, but everyone in the region does flip to snow verbatim as it tracks over SNE. Total QPF was 0.75+ for everyone in the region.
