MJO812 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 What a great turn of events for everyone upstate The confluence trended weaker allowing the storm to trend further north as we got closer. It is amazing how a weak storm can drop over 40 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. He goes overboard every time. I ended up with less than 2” here on the lake shore. He posted that UKie map showing me getting 12” like 5 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistently showed everything much, much further south and west. The big city weenies got screwed. Again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 3.5 to 4 whopping inches here. Some of the lowest in Onondaga county and across western and central New York. Looks like the models that had that little dry pocket pushing down through Oswego county were right...of course. (One of the few places that underperformed.) Even most of Oneida county got more. Congrats BGM and Southern Tier! Based on temps for next week around 40 for the highest, you guys are guaranteed a White Christmas. Here in tropical, snow bubble Syracuse, I'm not sure the several inches will survive through next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to her, or how the pharmacy college downtown handled their business back then, but 5" certainly doesn't cripple the city. Its nowhere close to how a town on the Tug Hill experiences snow, but its not NYC, Philly, or DC either. I was in Albany for college in the late 90's - early 2000's, and coming from New England, I was amazed at how little changed with a decent snowfall here. I guess it depends on perspective. Schools might be a little more close-happy today than when I first came to the region, but that seems to be happening most places for whatever reason. Either way, great storm with over 2'. It beat the 24" I had here last December, but that one took almost 2 days to dump. I'm mostly dug out now, and thankfully not crippled 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 UKIE and ICON did do well. ICON was the first to show the NW move. It over did it a bit, at times, but I think it deserves recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
