.06 liquid to 1.7" snow. If my math is correct, that's 1" liquid to 28" snow ratio. It's quite possible not all of the snow made into the gauge.

I definitely noticed some nice, dendrite flakes in the snow here, we made a lot happen with the miniscule liquid we had. The flakes initially were tiny but to end it we had larger flakes which tacked onto the heavier intensity but tinier flakes to start. I think most of us made the best out of what conditions we had in terms of snow.

Yes, it was pretty awesome to see the flakes transition from tiny to large dime size under the heavier echoes. Also a stand up job to the local WFO's who nailed this down to the exact one hundredth of a liquid inch.

.6 " here in eastport.

actually didn't want it to snow..played some pond 

today..so this light snowfall will need to be removed

from the ice in order to play tomorrow..think the leaf 

blower will work fine!

 

Yea, makes sense I'm not very far from there. I didn't measure, but I figured about a half inch here in Riverhead.

Best under two inch storm in recent history IMO. It's nice to see every bit of moisture transfer to the surface so easily, and it was great to whiten up the landscape after such a chilly week. It really ties it all together for those of us that were dealing with brown grass. I'm a bitter cold fan so this week gets an A from me.
