At least I can sleep and hopefully it’ll flip back by morning. I think this changes back for us sooner than you think and the stream of moisture heading our way is wild. I think we are going to overperform for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGM Blizzard Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Definitely seems odd that we are overperforming in BGM with seemingly no mixing to this point but further N in upper CNY around SYR seems to underperform according to what Max and Matt are saying. That might be final proof that the THM effect is a REAL thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Well, time to wrap this one up here. The rain is now just a wind driven sleet. We slot after this. Probably 1-1/2" total accumulation by eyeball. We'll get 'em next storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 About 5 inches of shaved ice snow here in walworth. Very odd texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Blizzard Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I feel like the only model that consistently seemed to show both an overachiever in BGM and an underachiever in SYR was the RGEM. But I could be wrong. It had been consistently showing that weird orientation to its estimated snow accumulations from BGM to SYR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying MXZ Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just got up to check if I wanted to do a mid storm plow. 2” or 3”, so no. Looks to be snowing nicely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stash Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Heaviest snow of the storm so far out this way, but probably a solid moderate in intensity overall. No mixing here yet, but the heaviest looks to remain well to the west of here. Those were some fantastic videos out of the Buffalo area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 On a positive note, the short bout of freezing rain appears to be done..hopefully for good. There's now big flakes falling again with some graupel mixed in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the weirdest shit but it’s still stacking up so I take it. This will be the greatest base layer. Have you snowblowed yet? What's the strategy?
