Heavy Snow Warning Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Over here in Brewster. About 1/2 inch. Coming down well now. Looks like a good band finally making its way through Fairfield into NY. Anyone notice this dry slot forming into LI now? That might really kill off numbers for them.

HeinzGuy Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 There's some very heavy bands showing up on radar over the taconics. Looks to enter Ulster and Orange soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 NWS Albany upped my snowfall totals a little and added the possibility for thundersnow. Now 12–20" overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wx4cast Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 moderate snow for the last 2 hours, little accm less than 1/2' majority of snow is very small "flakes" - graupel like and very wet. 21F Heard from family on Staten Island, 5+ on the ground. What type of snow structure are you guys seeing?. You should get into the awesome snow growth region after 8pm or so huge dendrites incredible banding. Same here. Been snowing little pingers for a few hours (though they're now starting to transition into real flakes) and very little accumulation so far. See above post Yeah every now and then some larger flakes appear and disappear, never more than 5% I think. Its a concern for large accums. I've had some good radar returns passing over me See above post RUC keeps the heavy banding largely south of us... RUC has been off past 2-3 hours on LP placement and precip too far east and south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above post See above post RUC has been off past 2-3 hours on LP placement and precip too far east and south Thanks for the insight!!! I am quietly hopeful that this will not disappoint once we get into the real show from 8-9pm onwards... I think POU could hit 18 if the bands set up.. Probably not as much as the snowicane in Feb, but i would take 18" of powder and drifting over 24" o heavy slop and power outages any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyR Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 What's the composition of the snow out by you? Snow is dry and very light. Already starting to drift in the nooks and crannies around the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the band when it rocks you. Nothing like 2-4 inch/per snowfall with the winds rippin' and whippin' too. Envy you buggers but my time will come. Remember: Have fun and enjoy!

Logan11 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I expect it to make a renewed push up. They had snow in Delmar a half hour ago. BGM radar shows better the snow in the western Cats and Poconos etc. ALB radar does a very poor job in that area maybe due to the Catskills peaks wrecking the radar range . Anyway I think the overall pivot nnw will keep up. could an albany screw job be in the making lol? radar has backed off the approach of the precip and the latest guidance has gone significantly east. oh well at least I was prepared for this ha.

MattyR Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Snowing sideways right now. Wind howling. My weather station isn't working, but i'd guess 20mph sustained winds with gusts around 30. As nasty as I've seen in my 3 years in POU...During the Snowicane last year, we were in mostly rain out east here in Pleasant Valley. I grew up in Buffalo, so it's nice to see some WNY wind and snow out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I think the overall pivot nnw will keep up. I actually had a flurry here 30 minutes ago until the northwest edge dropped back off. Our only hope for getting in that band to our south is the RUC and thats not a good thing. I know the precip shield is going to push northwest again but i have a feeling this didnt pull toward the coast enough to hit us good. Not to be overly negative but I wouldn't be suprised if we downgrade to advisories and end up with 6" or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I believe the 18Z NAM still has about .75" at KALB....

ENYsnow Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I believe the 18Z NAM still has about .75" at KALB.... yeah about .7 but I just fear that if it ticks further east we could end up with half of that since the gradient is extremely tight over a 10 mile area.

I grew up in Buffalo, so it's nice to see some WNY wind and snow out this way. Here, between Hopewell Junction and Wappingers Falls, over the last 30 minutes, the snow has really started to increase in intensity, nice fat dendrites starting to show up, swirling in the wind... If this keeps up, then we could see some decent totals here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJay Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Moderate to now sometimes heavy snow. Snowing for 4+ hours. I have 0.70 Still crapy graupel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Closing on 2" now I'd say, this stuff is blowing all over the place. It's light and dry but the flakes are badly fractured and most are very small so it's not accumulating too well. The wind is easily sustained at near 20mph with branches cracking along the ridgetop above me. Very few uninjured flakes are making it down but the ones that are are just beautiful fluffy wonderfulness. I think the estimates of 18 or more may be too high due to this stuff being able to pack in much more densely thereby reducing accumulations. At least in my backyard...

Logan11 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Well one can't get too greedy. LOL Snowcane type event is very rare. I imagine 12-20 east of the river and maybe 12-16 from Orange to Ulster is realistic...tapered down to 10 or 12 at NY/PA/NJ triple point. Heheh!

I think Thats a hopeful sign Jay, I was concerned since I don't recall have good snow totals with the snow structure I've had all day. Andy says not to worry so I won't What would cause the wet graupel type snow some of us have had all day? Warming in the upper layers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
