snywx Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 6" looks to be the limit for most in our area. Maybe areas in northern ulster/dutchess pick up closer to 8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 We've had every type of precip here so far. Roads are slushy but with the temp dropping they are starting to ice over. I scraped the driveway down so maybe the lowest layer isn't a sheet of ice, we'll see how that goes. Anybody see the radar for further upstate? Looks like a firehose running right along the Thruway and into the northern Berks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 6" looks to be the limit for most in our area. Maybe areas in northern ulster/dutchess pick up closer to 8" I'll be thrilled to get near 6", personally. Meteorology and my gut both tell me to expect mediocrity. Like I said, I'm aiming for 4.5" so I can hit 50" on the season. Anything more than that would be fantastic. Flurries at 30.6/27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Mostly sleet now with some fractured flakes and pellets. It kind of feels like this is the way this storm is gonna go. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Didn't think about using this product until I saw it on twitter just now, but it has merit. It's the SPC's SSEO system, an ensemble of seven established mesoscale models, and should be useful for identifying things like terrain-influenced precip. GFS FTW?

Kind of looks like some RPM model runs that I've seen too. It seems as if the GFS is doing well lately. Is there some truth to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow haha that's really hard to believe after looking at the radar along with the most recent hrrr and rap. Snow growth has been terrible here with about 2" since last night and .2" liquid equivalent.

IrishRob17 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'll let you know about the roads, heading out now to get my kid from work in Middletown.Treated roads are mostly wet, untreated roads slushy, same old story.

Snow growth has been terrible here with about 2" since last night and .2" liquid equivalent. I guess we'll find out when the easterly flow starts freshening after the frontal wave tightens up. Incidentally, my snow just picked up to near moderate levels with pretty decent flakes. Let's try to clean up early in the game here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Point, NY Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Aaaand the scaling back has commenced.. Actually put me into the higher band.. .......Not that I believe it. Flow has changed over the past several hrs. Went from looking towards BGM to MPO to see whats downstream and there isn't much below our latitude to see. Looks to me that unless the true arctic boundary somewhere between Kingston and Coxsackie (had to throw that that in...love that name) starts pushing Southward all the forcing tonight will stay North of us.
