ENYsnow Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 a little over 7" here and it looks to be winding down now.. definitely more than I expected. Beautiful dendrites fell all evening easily 1-2" per hour around 11 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wx4cast Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Looks like the heavy banding ( or whats left of it) is realigning across Saratoga Cty and pushing into the GFL area now. The lowering of totals up here earlier this evening by the NWS is a bust while Andy's forecast from this morning will verify with a few unlucky exceptions. I'd love to go out and measure now, but the wife fell asleep on the living room couch and I'd wake her up opening the garage door. I'm guessing that I'm closing in on 8" now 11.5 " on the board just before 6am this morning. I double checked with the average of several measurements around by the driveway and side of the house and they all avg 11" too. Pretty neat for me esp after getting my gonads busted all day yesterday and forecasts cutting back in the evening. Nice powder makes for nice snow angels.

West Point, NY Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 11.5 " on the board just before 6am this morning. I double checked with the average of several measurements around by the driveway and side of the house and they all avg 11" too. Pretty neat for me esp after getting my gonads busted all day yesterday and forecasts cutting back in the evening. Nice powder makes for nice snow angels. You got me so far!!! I'm in at 11.2" The thing that got me was how the NWS scaled us down to 1-2" last night around dinner time but yet kept the WSW hoisted. The whole thing didn't make sense to me from the get go. I have to admit, I had my doubts until mid evening as the heavier bands were setting up to the SW and seemed to magically vanish as they crossed the Hudson into Warren Cty. But when I realized the regeneration on the back edge down in Columbia Cty was a long term process, I knew you would prove correct just on the basis of the longevity of the event/ fluff factor. Congrats Andy..............well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couchsachraga Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 10.5" down here by the river. I'm headed up to Johnsburg now... I'll be curious to see if the snow continued there overnight, or stayed dry all night (last measurement yesterday was 4" in the late afternoon). Certainly light stuff! Does anyone have a calculation as to what the final ratio was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats Andy..............well done Thanks Jeff..still big flakes here but definitely lighter. Only looks like barely .25 liquid so far...one hell of a liquid to snow ratio. BTW- I see more on the board looks like somewhere < 1" And the NWS did downgrade us from warning to WWA. I heard it on both CKM and the Q. I was in the chiropractor's office when I heard CKM came on with the update and I just shook my head and laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Let's hope so, because it's been a mind numbing boring winter so far.. At least we had that decent storm back in early December, but since then, not a whole lot.. Here's hoping that things pick up snow quantity wise soon for our area, and that all of us are the benefiary of a nice synoptic system that just buries everyone.. Cheers, Scratch yes, we are very lucky we had that surprise storm in december.....imagine if we didnt i do think we have made some positive strides in breaking things down this week. hopefully that pays off in the not too distant future. as to your last point, why cant those epic coastals that hammer everyone from buffalo to montreal on the 384 GFS ever verify??

Observed at: Toronto Pearson Int'l Airport Date: 9:00 AM EST Saturday 8 January 2011 Condition: Heavy Snow Pressure: 99.9 kPa Tendency: rising Visibility: 0.2 km ......1/16 mile folks hopefully Snowstormcancuk is in on that band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 My final was 6.3 inches. We had a lot of catching up to do with only 2 inches or so at 6 PM last night. So when all was said and done I'm quite satisfied and it is beautiful outside. I am the family "weatherman" and had told my sister 6 inches so I did well. I had told her 6-10" from the the Boxing Day Noreaster and we got 7" that time so I'm looking good. LOL Now on to the Miller A and hopefully the biggest of the season so far here. 11.5 " on the board just before 6am this morning.

THIS FORMED LAST EVENING ON A TYPICAL SW-NE ORIENTATION...BUT IT NEVER MOVED ONSHORE. RATHER...SFC AND LOW LEVEL WINDS BECAME L/V AND EVEN BACKED TO SE...KEEPING THE BAND OFFSHORE AND EVENTUALLY SHOVING IT NORTH INTO THE NIAG PENINSULA. AT PRESS TIME...REMNANTS OF THIS BAND WERE SWINGING NORTHWEST UP ACROSS THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE OF ONTARIO...YOU DONT SEE LK ERIE SNOW MAKING IT TO TORONTO VERY OFTEN.

We can talk about that over a few beverages and burgers sometime. Anyway Andy, very nice work with this storm. You know we always trust your call here.I plowed until 10:30 last night it, and it must have only taken a break because the boss (wife this time) just asked me when I am going out again. I looked out the window and almost lost the coffee!! I am headed out again now and just wanted to Say nice work Andy, and has Steve called with his apology for Not listening yet?

Stash Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 About 7 inches even here with more just to my NE. Barely eclipsed the east coast blizzard from last week, but I'll take these moderate events anytime. Slightly different scenario here with about 4 inches between 6-7PM last night, and squeaking out a final 3 from then on. Keeping fingers crossed for mid-week, but in the meantime its beautiful out there! Nice call by the way...the WWA worked out pretty well for our area all things considered. My final was 6.3 inches. We had a lot of catching up to do with only 2 inches or so at 6 PM last night. So when all was said and done I'm quite satisfied and it is beautiful outside.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 not too shabby, good forecast. good dendrites falling in ottawa again now, the pivot point made it about 50 miles or so NNE of ottawa and has since rotated back down through there......fascinaiting event really for them. It really is looking good here at the moment. Best of all, it's the white, fluffy snow usually associated with Alberta Clippers. Things are deffinately looking up. As I said yesterday, according to Don the last time a consistent greenland block was seen was 1959-60 and that February saw a snow blitz n this city. He's also mentioned February 1917, which was also quite cold and snowy in these parts. All I need now is a moderate to heavy snowfall followed by my 0F or -20C day!

Stash Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Nice! I saw a report from Rotterdam on Andy's station of 9"...thought that was too high, but could have been from the eastern end of town if you had over 8". Of course, with all the fluff, I could have messed up my own measurements, but I'll stick to my first estimate. Still need to get out there and shovel... The final total IMBY was 8.3" of fluff.

Interactive snow map I picked up 2 inches overnight. which brings me to 12 inches for the Clipper. My snowpack is 20 inches.. . Looks like it was a 30:1 ratio here. One of the higher ones I have seen since I have been living here over the past 24 years. So, did you make any...or did you just let the snow go to waste Made 4, 1 on the side lawn, 2 in the backyard and one in the street by my driveway. This one had the desired effect, I heard the plow stop perhaps he thought there was someone in the street as a result I didn't get speed plowed.
