Its wierd... we keep alternating between light and moderate/heavy snow. When its light the flakes are very small and heavily rimmed (indicative that the flakes are mainly being produced in the lower portion of the DGZ and most of the rising motion is in the low-levels. However, when the 30+ dbz bands move overhead, very large dendritic flakes are produced with much higher theoretical snowfall ratios. This suggests that in these stronger bands are still being able to tap into the deeper DGZ although its starting to get choked off due to the strong WAA. 

 

Temp at 13.7 F

Running out of real estate for any mix around ALB though. POU still has snow as per the asos anyway at 2:00 AM.
