Substantial drought relief rains en-route?

No not like ern areas. They got some snow into central PA and NY. Actually now that I think about it, this may get areas that saw nothing from that storm.

But in all honestly, both the euro and GFS nail western NY and PA right now.

KFS saying the east trend is not done yet... historic damage en route for CT, esp areas at 969' or so with fully leafed oaks and maples

Western NY missed October's event totally. I got 4 inches and this was the northwest extent of anything.

Also re: leaves ...I have only very small ones on some varieties. If this is a 1500'+ dumping, I don't think many trees have leaves yet in western NY now. If it gets heavy snow down to the Lake Plain etc., then foliage may be more advanced.

Yeah, tru dat. Did western NY/PA get hit in October? I know eastern areas did...

I can deal with some lighter rap/hip hop, but that stuff is just depressing. I like music that makes you feel happy. listening should be a pleasant experience.

I recall the Doobie Bros at the end of their hits ..like late 70's, but for the most part that predates me. I first got interested in music in that new wave and punk period of the late 70s to early/mid 80's.

What do you listen to? A little Doobie Bros would me my best guess for you

looks like maybe 25-50% to me in West Seneca.

I think springtime tree damage from snow is overrated compared with fall...October storms like 2011 or 1986 created ice storm like damage. Same with that BUF lake event a couple years back.

Spring events I've witnessed including April 28-29, 2010 up here where 6-24" of wet snow fell on fully leafed trees to 2000ft, with 6" at BTV and 18" from 1000ft up...only scattered power outages occurred. That was also a very early green up type of spring and I remember having 8" of pure slop at 350ft on leafed out trees with no damage.

Also May 18, 2002 comes to mind with 3-4" of 6:1 ratio snow near ALB and saw no issues. I think the airport only had 2.2" but some of the burbs had a little more. Then 4-10" fell above 1000ft in the surrounding hilltowns. By that time of year it's full on summer as far as vegetation is concerned but I don't remember any damage.

For whatever reason, Oct storms seem more destructive than April/May snowfalls.
