A few cold spots have 2.5" here, but most everywhere else is a dusting. It's like the 5 that fell in March 98. Don't think there was ever close to that on the ground and it melted either a few hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down to 34F. After about 4 hours of light to moderate snow at 33-34F, with a few light dustings established and then melted quickly as intensity lessened, just now we're finally getting sustained moderate snow (maybe 3/8 of a mile visibility (maybe 600-700 yards) at 32F and we now officially have a "full dusting" or "light coating" (whatever that is, lol) on the colder surfaces (and a good 1/4" on trees, but that doesn't count, lol) which translates to about 0.1". My guess is now that we're 2.5 hours past the full height of the sun and a little cooler, the snow will accumulate at least a little now. Radar looks good for me for the next 30 min or so. If we can hold onto this intensity once we have a cold layer on the ground, maybe we can pull off a whole 1/4-1/2". My other guess is that we've probably had 1/4-3/8" per hour snow "falling" rates for ~4 hours (I always think of 1/4" per hour as light with 3/8"/hr as getting moderate), so that's about the melting rate - could've had 1-1.5" over those 4 hours, but it's midday at March and it's been 33-34F until right now. Anyway, that's probably TMI for most, lol, but I get excited about this stuff, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJW014 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Have had two good heavy bands, one at 11 am, another about an hour ago. Temp dipped to 34, now back up to 37. Time for spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee59 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If you go up the Taconic State Parkway you go thru Fahnstock State Park, the elevation on the Taconic at that point is around 1100 ft. It is south of route 84. They have 13.5 inches and counting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If you're getting the moderate to close to heavy bands we're in now and others who also have had little snow this winter appear to be in, get yourself outside and walk around in it. It's a beautiful day - yeah it sucks that most of it has melted, but even falling snow with big flakes is very cool to see and we might not see any more flakes until next winter. Or 2026. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadInTheClouds Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 35 and just some light rain now. Finished with just under 9 inches. 26.5 for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I'm getting absolutely dumped on right now and it's been like this for about an hour and a half with heavy but not crazy for an hour before that. Snow globe stuff and all at 33°. FKNA YEAH! My back hurts 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 18 miles SE of that spot and 400 feet down but I'm nearly there at about a foot. @DRVTSis a few miles east and I bet he's at least equal based on the direction of these bands.

bluewave Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Moderate to heavy snow in SW Suffolk with a coating on colder surfaces and 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picard Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Nothing at work except 0.5-1" under trees and in the woods. Otherwise, the open grass was completely bare and all of it from earlier had melted. Back home, we have 3.5 inches of solid cover. There was a rapid pick up in the snow depth driving east along Newton-Sparta road and within a few miles, it was a different world, even with a modest elevation gain. The other surprising thing, the snow here is more powdery than expected. It's actually kicking up and whipping around some in the wind. Currently just light snow. Temp is 31.

jm1220 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Last burst from this band which looks to be pivoting east. About an inch here or a little over. Landscape/trees look nice in the caked snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Just measured on the table top and it’s 1” on the nose. Moderate snow and 32. 7.5” on the year lol nw Suffolk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking fine in Branchburg everywhere except the roads, but I think that might start happening very soon. 3" on my table and an inch in the backyard where its not a swamp. Down to 32 exactly again and moderate snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, that's probably TMI for most, lol, but I get excited about this stuff, lol. We're up to 1/2" on the board on the lawn and the trees have about 1/2", while my undisturbed car in the shade has almost 1" on it and nada on pavement. I'm recording 1/2" right now, since the car is definitely an outlier - I've almost never seen this kind of difference before and I'm sure it's due to the car top being just slightly colder than the ground/board. Still 32F and coming down moderately, so we could get to 1" if that band stays over us (we'll be right on the eastern edge of it). Most years I wouldn't care much about every 1/4" but this winter is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem81 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Sounds like Metro Boston didnt get much of anything which is really insane giving the low pressure location. That dual low in CT really screwed them the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say they’re done there yet given how much is to their west, and what’s still to fall has benefit of setting sun but they probably get 2-3” at most. Never would’ve thought they’d get screwed that bad from a setup like this. I thought yesterday they were good for 6”+ given models trending in their direction.

jm1220 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Another surprise-only 6.5” at Albany Airport. I thought for sure they’d have 12+ in this storm. The downslope really screwed them. 23” at Hunter. This is the ultimate have/have nots storm but March storms usually do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some good banding going over them right now so they can probably add another inch or 2, but still, that’s a decent sized bust for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
