HVSnowLover Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 RGEM has an epic icestorm for basically the whole HV this afternoon lol even up to Albany. I don't understand how the models can be so bad 12 hours from an event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've got snowballs falling from the sky and being wind whipped into really cool shaped drifts. Eyeball says ~6" so far. I just got back from trying to get to the train station, two hours to go 12 miles round trip. There were so many cars stuck that tried to get out of the parking lot (probably people that work overnight and got home this morning) I couldn't get in so came home. There's no way I'm driving to the city to go to work today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitmaster Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 This is looking down the street from my place - mind you, there is a mountain that can't be seen, behind that house. Whenever that happens it's officially heavy snow for me. Hope we all get pasted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chietanen Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 New AFD from Albany: Front-end is looking somewhat meager for extreme northern areas like Dutchess and Ulster. About an inch new, snowing lightly. If you look at the radar, I don't see how we don't easily pull 6-10" from the front end. You think otherwise? It's definitely picked up in intensity significantly in the past 15 minutes in Fishkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Something to keep in mind with the radar, the heaviest bands don't always translate to where the heavy snow is actually reaching the ground. I was following a discussion on this in the NE forum earlier this winter. The idea is that the snow gets blown and drifts as it falls out of the cloud. I don't think there's much research on this yet but it's interesting to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitmaster Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's really hammering out there now - I would say that 3-4 inch per hour band has arrived here in Monroe - wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you manage efficient snow growth, you could really clean up under less than stellar echoes. Banding is making more of a push to the north... Danbury to Brewster look to be getting clobbered right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I mentioned a little while ago that the snow had started moving WNW as opposed to the mostly due N it was moving overnight. That should hold off the dry slot a little longer. Looks like the HRRR is not updating? Both on the rapid refresh site and on WB, I only see up to 12z. RAP is up to 15z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking70 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It is snowmageddon here! Up to 7 inches, unofficially, hard to tell with drifting. Winds picking up and when they do it is like whiteout conditions. I have never seen it snow this hard and this is not even what it sounds like some of you had. 4 inches in the last hour and a half.
