Interesting special weather statement out of Albany.  Not as confident as they are that snow will "taper" by 8:30pm.

It's the one thing we can reliably jackpot on here. ;)

Currently engaged in an ongoing battle to keep the basement from being overtaken.

Sure does suck. All it takes is once, been there done that. No sump? Happened back in '06 here gutted and sealed wanting to refinish basement ever since. Now doesn't matter. Moving on up, ah, to the south-side still looking for a deluxe in the sky.

 

Flooding everywhere. Local FOX channel just had a snapshot near 93 in Somerville with submerged vehicles.

Right about the time NWS ALY cancelled the advisory for the capital region the heaviest echoes flipped the rain to snow. The column must have cooled just below 0C (probably isothermal) and were approaching 2" here so I'm curious what their play is.

Interesting day around here today. Torrential rains with street flooding in the valleys, but it was a heavy wet, snow bomb with goose feathers puking out of the sky up in the mountains. There was probably about 4" up above 2K in S VT around 4 PM.

 

It wanted to change to snow much of the afternoon here in the valley, but it never did flip; it was just heavy rain with some occasional mangled flakes mixed in. 

 

The transition from rain to snow was very dramatic and occurred over the course of only 2 or 3 miles. While I'm disappointed about the end result IMBY, it was a cool storm meteorologically and a great day for a weenie drive.
