The immediate Albany area did great and they're still getting a bit of Hudson Mohawk convergence enhancement. But the really good mid-level deformation was in C and S NY as well as NE PA. ALB actually ended up a little too far east. That said, ALB reported many hours of heavy snow and I wish I still lived in the area for this one.

Storms like this is what I hired them for. I'll revert back to doing it on my own after I retire-maybe lol. I nearly keeled over after shoveling my car over. It was so densely packed with the wind it was coming up in huge blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Nice, some backside Finger Lake effect snow going on now across CNY. Maybe that can spare ITH the embarrassment of not cracking 10" when one county away is measuring in feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 NWS BTV used my report in their latest PNS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 16.1" so far in the books. Radar looks pretty good on the backside for a lot of VT. 20+ seems possible. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Interesting storm from afar. The personal snow-loving dog always skews what is known and what actually is posted. Many fall victim to that in the forum. Henceforth I'll try to remove bias a keep to known facts based on science. I don't know if the graphics I post are useful, just curious, do forumites find them annoying? Me thinks winter ain't done yet! Freeze Watch in effect. My bones have acclimated nicely.

That happened many a time...I remember in Jan 25, 2000 "model bust" storm...I think a bunch of towns like Greene, BGM, and Cortland all had 12"+ synoptically, and then we come in with 6". We got 7 inches that night/next morning on Cayuga effect to finish with 13" and spare the embarrassment of being like half of everyone else.

mreaves Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm closing in on 16" as well. There is between 4"&5" new from 4:30 when I measured 11". The wind has played a little more of a role with what has fallen this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTWeatherFreak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 When did the west trend start in earnest.... within the final 24 hrs leading up? Leaves one asking themselves other than signaling an opportunity for an event, and a hint at its strength, whats the point in tracking storms a week or more in advance in anything but the most general of ways when the specifics arent even known until the last 24 hrs? Kudos to the mesos for latching on to this last minute change, and fi on us who chose not to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So I just measured on Google Earth: when I woke up from my nap to roof rattling gusts I couldn't see the condos across the street. That's only 75 yards away. I thought it was longer than 100. So color me impressed with the day time blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 18-36" call was good.....it just verified like 25-50mi west of where I had it. Probably matured a little too soon for us to keep the deformation nearby. By the time it got to our area it had already thrown the best forcing for deformation well to the west. I was hoping we'd get another New Years type storm that rapidly went to town overhead, keep the best banding close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always expected this to trend west, as I had w MA in the crosshairs since Friday night, but it ended up going even a bit more than I had anticipated. I thought there would be a bit more low level convergence back this way, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely won't lose sleep over missing it, but a great March storm. The winds in the interior, seemed to really rock. Something not always the case. You wonder if the lack of true arctic in March helped allow the profiles to mix a bit unlike a similar setup earlier in winter. It's one of many things, but it may have helped tap that rocket LLJ.
