Just flurries... or legit snow falling? I was shocked by this too, didn't think it was possible. My brother has been here a few years and said it has happened. Radar yesterday was uncanny, we were in a bubble east of Cayuga that never died. Didn't stop until 11am today. NWS tweeted about it. 3" overnight https://mobile.twitter.com/NWSBinghamton/status/1355180976792502280 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 1/4/18. I jumped off the team Roger ship then, but his forecast verifying would surely bring me back. Haven't read Roger's report yet but ive wondered about the Lunar effects on the LP transfer, as well as the solar inducing effects on the LP... regarding RI... and how that effects the overall dynamics of the 2nd part of this storm...will be interesting to watch play out regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just flurries... or legit snow falling? It's rather remarkable. I haven't seen it in person but a few of the lakes actually have a long enough fetch and deep af (300-600 feet or something) so they dont freeze quickly. Kinda weird they arent frozen yet but I guess its been warm everywhere. When the wind lines up just right with the right conditions above they create micro snowstorms. I saw a satellite pic when the ground was brown and there was a thin stipe of snow lee of a lake. If I was forced to move to that area, you know where I'm living. Right in that narrow stripe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George BM Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 @psuhoffman A very random question for you. How bad was the ice event down here in Herndon, VA in 1994 when you were in the area? Was there a good bit of damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stories to tell of that week That was a long week everywhere in the mid-atlantic. Power out everywhere, try to drive and couldn't get out of the driveway, let alone 10' down the road...traveled by golf carts in my area...visiting neighbors in the woods across the way was like being a medic in artillery field (limbs falling every 5 seconds)...that was a crazy storm and I hope I never see another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more sleet than ZR so trees and power wasn’t crushed. Frozen water meters OTOH were a huge issue. Coldest week ever I can remember in my adult life as far as working in it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Anyone else find it annoying af how much the general media overreact to snowfall? I feel like as I've gotten older, my excitement for snow is the same, but the media overreaction is awful. Like, we will all survive this just fine lol. This is also hypocritical considering how much we worship models and stalk snowfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely crippled the area and probably a lot of individuals who tried to go out in it. Wasn't much fun when I had the balance of youth; do NOT want a repeat of that. Although the February sleet storm, which rivaled 2007, was pretty cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA. I hope this wasn't referring to me. It was an honest question because I've always heard the HRRR over 24 hours (hell, sometimes even 12) is extremely unreliable. It was a pretty crappy run here too so I certainly would have no reason to be passive-aggressive? Not that I would anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen7908 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I often say I'd loved to live in a world where the 10-day Euro forecast was reality; well I'd also love to live in a world where Roger Smith's forecasts verified with 100% accuracy. I swear he converts from cm to inches by multiplying by 2.5. I've also promised to get myself an "RGEM" T-shirt if things go well on Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
