Had to clear a spot and use a measurement tape cause yard stick was too short so might not be exact and compaction not uniform everywhere. I have a 4 foot “yard” stick and it’s amazing to think it would be almost completely buried at your place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerintonMan Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Once in a lifetime event for the Binghamton-Albany corridor. A 4+"/hr band sitting over you for 6-8 hours just doesn't happen outside of LES. Incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossbowftw3 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Finished with a very paltry (by comparison) 13-15” or so. Looks great but kinda sad the band didn’t park near me, ha. If someone does a study on just how good the dynamics in that band were I’d read it hundreds of times over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrmax Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 1 hour ago, CNY_WX said: I’m almost embarrassed to post this but I measured 3.4 inches this morning on 0.36 LE. A little disappointing, I would have been happy with 4, hoping for 6. The ratio was just about 10:1 which is a little low considering the temperatures. Maybe as Matt (I think) said last night the flakes were being ripped apart which made for a denser snow. I had 3.5"...barely an hour of work for BGM. I also had 0.45" liquid...which seems off. Although maybe not too much as some local areas seemed to be around 10:1 ratio, which for a snowstorm with temps in the teens is maybe a bit unusual? Granted, we didnt have much UVV here and aggregate size was on the small size all storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericjcrash Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just given the light nature of the snow considering the ~30" depth I'd confidently say there was 36" here. That weenie band set up shop(still at least an inch an hour) and just sat here. Wish I had a yard stick. Absolutely epic storm and I can only imagine what BGM looks like. Snow growth wasn't ideal until 2 am as well so could've been better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
