Maybe this will work out better without a very strong Nino this year... He has been right I think 5 out of 7 times, his decision to avoid the super Nino last year was just dumb on his part.

Revracer800 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Nice little light show here in Hannibal for the last few minutes. This is the 3rs tstorm in the last few day's, crazy weather. I'm so ready for winter to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I received just over 3 inches of rain between 8 AM yesterday and 8 AM this morning. My sump pump has been running almost continuously since last night. This event should go a long way in ending the drought conditions in this area.

A month later and this thing has all the earmarks of a major snowstorm. It's really a beautiful long duration fall storm, I'm absolutely loving it. I'm really interested to see how much energy that tropical disturbance pumps into this low, perhaps it blows up a little deeper than expected. The South shore of Lake Ontario is already flirting with some pretty high end winds if the current models verify. High Winds from the north on very saturated ground with trees that still have a lot of foliage sounds a little dicey. Sporadic power outages seem possible tomorrow. 2.56" as of 1215pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I just measured another 1.12 inches since 8 AM yesterday. That brings the 2 day total up to 4.17 inches. Fortunately the heaviest rain this morning is just to the east of me because we don't need anymore rain right now. Channel 9's Doppler radar is reporting snow starting to mix in over the higher elevations of Madison County. I'm at 41 degrees right now and being on the lake plain I don't expect any snow here.

Wow nice rainfall amount. The track of this system was just perfect for optimal QPF. Most of WNY picked up 1-2 inches total. Definitely helps destroy the drought.

lakeeffectkid383 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Radar looking good already for snow in the higher elevations east of Lake Ontario... however, I've been following web cams all morning and haven't seen any signs of flakes anywhere on the Tug or Adirondacks yet. I was thinking about pulling the trigger on a quick trip up there to catch some early season snow but I think I'm going to hold off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Northern Daks look to be the place to be in this setup. Jet couplet combined with a closed 500mb low over the NE will provide some decent dynamics to enhance the precip field in that area. Tey also get the benefit of seeing the longest lasting precip due to latitude. The higher elevations around 2500-3000'+ will probably cash 6-10" in this setup. Look at WV and see the small fire hose aimed at Upstate right now. With the anticipated CAA on the backside of the low, snowfall elevations should fall through the day with gradually increasing snow ratios in the higher terrain. Not bad for a low located well off the coast into New England. I want to see pics when all said and done if anyone gets the white stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manhattanandcatskills Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Woke up to sleet with the very occasional flake around 7:30am The snow kept wanting to come down the hill, but here in the hollow, at 2/K ft, it would change back to rain and sleet. About 2 hours ago, 10:15 it began to snow and for the last hour it's been moderate with some coating on the grass, decks and barn. This is in central Delaware County. Funny BGM discussion only stated reports of mixing north of Oneonta--I am sure higher elevations around here have even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Snow level down to around 2000 feet in the Catskills...which is basically most of the Catskills. Freezing level around 3000 feet and the snow is sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd shovel all day everyday if it kept falling. I'll definitely be the dad out in the snow with the bundled up kids while she's inside with the shades drawn. My driveway is 200' long, that November 2014 storm destroyed even me, someone who goes to the gym 5-6 days a week for last few years. It was so heavy and just coming and coming. It was my only ever defeat, I did clear about 75% of my driveway, until I had to have someone come help with the end which the plows pushed all the snow into. 4 hours ago, danno said: Old Forge now.

I remember ski country getting pounded wishing I had a vehicle to chase down there. If I remember correctly Holiday Valley was open before Thanksgiving on all natural snow. Just thinking about that right now seems absolutely absurd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
