Flying MXZ Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 6.8" here @ 6:00. The front end "thump" was terrible here but overnight was ok. No rain or freezing rain seemed to be involved and it was a dense but not wet snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm at around 10 inches with moderate snow and 25.5F. My last measurement at 5:50 AM was 9" and it has ripped good the past hour. 6.8" here @ 6:00. The front end "thump" was terrible here but overnight was ok.

cny rider Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm at around 10 inches with moderate snow and 25.5F. My last measurement at 5:50 AM was 9" and it has ripped good the past hour. Same up here. I didn't look at the time but we had quite the sleet storm for about an hour overnight. Did you have it also? Wonder how far north that made it.

heavy_wx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 5.5" of snow on the ground here, probably 6-6.5" accumulation with settling. Absolutely beautiful outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revracer800 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 14" here in Hannibal, ny southern Oswego County. Still snowing but nothing very heavy. Snowmobile season has arrived woooohooooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeEffectKing Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 14" and still snowing moderately....19" on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Moderate snow with mostly medium sized dendrites. After taking an average of several snow measurements around my house, it looks like I have about 7" on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Final total of 11 inches here. Quite the storm where it appears nearly all of upstate NY cashed in on warning criteria snows. Probably a lot of scenes like this as folks dig out this morning: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarbear Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Maybe Orleans County. Nice little rural county out there I "very ocasionally" get to for wills and other records. Flat as a pancake terran-wise. I can say driving across clear across the county last night starting around midnight, in what is normally a 25 min drive took close to an hr!! Thought this did include 2 quick stops to check on people off the rd. I took my normal shortcut which includes side rds, which I knew would be an adventure, but sure was glad to have my bigger 4x4 truck..Few drifts sent snow over the hood! Rough estimate is a solid ft, will see when I had out in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 13.5", liquid equivalent i got was 1.32" which seems too high, wondering if I had some error introduced by blowing snow off trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestWind Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I had close to a foot of snow on my car in Orchard Park this morning. I did notice a layer of glaze on top, and there appeared to be some freezing drizzle occurring. When I got to Buffalo there were still flurries going on however. Looks like about the same amount of snow in Buffalo as in Orchard Park. No problems driving - in fact, traffic was moving faster than it normally would be during commute time, likely due to many people being off today. Since the snow is mostly stopped and winds are no longer strong enough for drifting looks like there should not be any serious travel issues going forward for WNY.

OSUmetstud Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 13.5", liquid equivalent i got was 1.32" which seems too high, wondering if I had some error introduced by blowing snow off trees. Must be like the SYR ASOS which reported 0.49" of water in an hour this morning with moderate snow lol. So far the big winner is Copenhagen, NY on the NE upslope side of the Tug Hill with 18".

Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Moderate snow here and 11 inches down. 26.4F. I see 14" amounts just west of here in elevated parts of Schoharie County. They will probably be the winners in ENY. 14" and still snowing moderately....19" on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 No we never had any sleet that I noticed. I'm just as glad. I think it all stayed a little below Albany also. Same up here. I didn't look at the time but we had quite the sleet storm for about an hour overnight. Did you have it also? Wonder how far north that made it.

Yeah amounts should be pretty uniform across the area. The only places that probably got more (which may or may not be captured in the PNS) is the large NE facing hills and some localized areas near the Lake Ontario shoreline. Greece got 14" which is probably due to some lake-enhancement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 A solid foot in OP. With the snow that was on the ground before I have a solid 13-14" snow depth. Looks like a winter wonderland here this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I have about 8" on the ground with moderate snow falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the minister Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Around 9 inches here in Spencer, NY (Tioga County). The flakes were so fine the entire storm - it took a while for it to slowly accumulate. Then we got dry-slotted. But a nice event nonetheless.

CNYWeather Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I had 9.9" at 6:30 this morning. Maybe another 2" or so fell since then. Tapering off quickly finally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Nice! Yep nice solid foot or so and with a chance at a few inches this weekend on top of the 13-14" snowdepth its gonna look awesome around here an it should stay cold enough to stick around for a long time. What a great storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Picked up around 8" at home when I left for work a little while ago, I'll see if there was anything additional to add later on. Looks like NWS Albany just reported even more down at their office with 10". I wonder how many times all the "big" Upstate NY cities reached double digits in snowfall from the same storm system? Pretty incredible. I'm sure it happened during the March 1993 storm, but nothing else is coming to mee off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Snow picking up again pretty good (obviously not as hard as last night) but already covering roads ect again. Took a walk through the village and there is A TON of snow. Awesome storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revracer800 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Lake Ontario is starting to get fired up here with a pretty healthy band of snow. 14" here and starting to come down pretty good with big fluffy flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 9.5" on the ground here, maybe we'll pick up another half inch with some light snow. This event definitely exceeded my expectations with downsloping not being much of an issue, at least on the west side of the Hudson River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorizer Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 No we never had any sleet that I noticed. I'm just as glad. I think it all stayed a little below Albany also. An even 12" up here on the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
