I saw 8.0" inches in Granville, NY on 0.68" water.

Was there some weird stuff going on last night?

This stands out like a sore thumb but it's got 8.0" snow depth.  At first I thought they meant 0.8" but the precip is nuts.

Yeah must be some weird convergence.  You are right, it is legit, there’s enough 8-9” reports right in that area. 

Crazy as it’s literally 3-4 times the amount of melted precipitation as everywhere around there.  It’s not even close but there it is in several different reports.

I'll head up to Woodford in a little to see if that 8.5" is legit, but I think it is. Likely some blocked upslope going on the west side of the Taconics and Greens that led to those 8-9" totals.

How high up does the slight inversion or wind shift need to occur for blocked flow? I didn’t see anything much below 700mb that screamed block flow.

Cranky  gonna come after me.

 

To be fair, I did see a few people post links on facebook from some main stream news site about a historic winter event in the north east.  I did not click the link because I assumed it was garbage, so I am not sure how "widespread " it was noted.   It might have even been an NBC link.
