IrishRob17 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 I know that this may sound like a broken record but waking up to a forecast from NWS Upton for 10-14" of snow on Oct 29 is mind boggling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be one for the books. Total over this way is 8-16 from OKX. Getting close to game time. Stay safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Most models take the heaviest banding to you about me and it craps out anywhere n/w of here. So only time will tell. It's gonna be a very sharp cutoff from the heavy accumulations to the zones that just get a few inches in central and northern NY. The clouds thickened here just in time to not allow much rise in temperature so far. 30/27 with every blade of grass covered in thick frost, maybe 1/3rd of the ground still retaining some snow from Thursday nights action. and this tid bit in their forecast Today: Snow.

Gorizer Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Yeah, I'm pretty concerned about the very sharp cutoff... could be an underperformer IMBY ala 12/26. Headed to the Palace in Albany tonight for a concert. Should prove to be an interesting ride, particularly on the way home. You know how 88 gets with these types of storms. It's a snow magnet .

Logan11 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 ALB is still on the 1" qpf line as per the new 12Z NAM. Duanesburg nearer the .75", Amsterdam .5", Northville/Sacandaga maybe .25" and so on...... So a nice snowstorm if that verifies, but no margin for error. It could get kind of exciting as the mega band heads north to just about here for awhile..looks like it may come in like a wall of heavy snow from the south and then do the pivot and exit stage right leaving us with lighter banding. Good luck driving in metro ALB. They drive like they never saw snow before it seems ...just the other day cars off the road in that small snowfall. Mainly it's stupid people that refuse to alter their speed etc., but you could get caught in the crossfire so to speak.

Logan11 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 BTW..I only got 7 inches on Boxing Day...I was thinking of a January storm. I expect tonight's does look very similar, but you don't look at that as a low end snowfall for October 29th...

Gorizer Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I think low-end performer and October snow are oxymorons. Regardless of who gets what, we'll be referencing this event for decades.

Stash Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It seemed the first few storms last winter had our area precariously close to the heavy stuff, just to have it pivot from the immediate ALB/Hudson Valley areas on east. Forgetting about the unusual early season snow for a brief moment, I don't remember last time an October day felt this cold. About 2 inches the other day...and today/tonight should make this the snowiest october in the 16+ years I've beeni n Upstate NY.

Gorizer Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 10:40 am KALY discussion update: WE STILL BELIEVE THE ADJUSTMENT TO 3 TO 6 INCHES LOOKS GOOD FOR THE IMMEDIATE CAPITAL DISTRICT. THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL ON THE ORDER OF 6-12 INCHES WILL CONTINUE TO BE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION. THE 12Z NAM TOTAL QPF FOR KALB IS 0.70 INCHES...AND THE 09Z SREF MEAN IS ABOUT 1". ALB is still on the 1" qpf line as per the new 12Z NAM. Duanesburg nearer the .75", Amsterdam .5", Northville/Sacandaga maybe .25" and so on......

Temp have risen 2 degrees since 7am now @ 39F. Not a good trend when the wind direction is from the NE with no cold around. The storm has to crank like crazy here to drop temps, we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
