Pretty hard blower snow here in Albany. On the road at 5 to head up to the Daks'

You're going to be going through a rain/ice/snow line somewhere along the way. In my experience unless you can pre-position tonight, you'd be better off hitting the road on Wednesday. The way I see it, there is going to be at least two mornings of pow, probably lasting the whole day. I'm counting on lots of people, except the die hards already having hung up the sticks for the season.

Man I hope your right. My ski trip doesn't start till Thursday.

Even though radar looks otherwise, all Weather Offices are standing by their forecasts.

Dawn reports
from Boston Office NWS
Burlington
- Maine/NH - few reports, mostly one to a few inches.

don't forget, total snow = snow + sleet

NWS Albany, 6am
Thanks for all your reports so far this morning. Snowfall reports have varied from just a few inches in the Capital Region to 5-8" across the Lake George-Glens Falls-Saratoga Region. More snow is on the way - here's how much additional snow we expect through the day today!

About 4 inches in North Jersey. Roads a little slick, nothing bus can't handle.

 

[billski]

We have about 7" of heavy compacting snow, about 1/2" water laden snow at base

730 AM UPDATE... MINOR CHANGES TO FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS. RECEIVED SEVERAL REPORTS OF UP TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW TOTALS ACROSS MIDDLESEX AND WORCESTER COUNTIES. EXPECT ANOTHER INCH OR TWO TO FALL IN THAT REGION.
MODELS ARE INDICATING THAT A DRY SLO[Y] [W]ILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING

MIX BAG OF WINTRY PRECIP FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO ALL RAIN. SNOW WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS JUST NORTH OF THE PIKE...BUT THAT TRANSITION WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE NORTHWARD. HAVE GREATEST CONFIDENCE THAT NORTH OF ROUTE 2 WILL REMAIN ALL SNOW
...
THIS WINTRY TRANSITION WILL CONTINUE ITS NORTHWARD EXTEND THIS MORNING AND PERHAPS UP TO ROUTE 2 BEFORE HALTING.

ALBANY

IMAGERY SUGGESTS THE PRECIPITATION HAS BECOME INTERMITTENT AND... MIX OF PRECIP ACROSS THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY...CATSKILLS...MID HUDSON VALLEY AND NW CT.... TEMPS WERE MAINLY INTO THE UPPER 20S SO THE SNOW RATIO WAS AT OR BELOW 12:1.




COASTAL STORM UNFOLDS...... SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE PRECIP TO REDEVELOP ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION THIS MORNING AS SUGGESTED BY ALL AVAILABLE GUIDANCE. THE COMPLICATED FACTOR ... WILL BE THE WARMING BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS AND THE HIGHER MARCH SUN ANGLE. IT APPEARS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES MAY COME UP SHORT WITH WARNING CRITERIA AS MOST OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL HAS ALREADY OCCURRED AND THE ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION TODAY WILL BE A WINTRY MIXTURE OR EVEN A PERIOD OF RAINFALL CLOSE TO NOON HOUR.

FURTHER NORTH...SEEMS MOST OF THE PRECIP WILL FALL AS SNOW BUT ACCUMULATING WILL BECOME PROBLEMATIC DUE TO THOSE WARMING... TEMPS AND SOME POSSIBILITY OF A LITTLE SLEET MIXING IN FROM TIME TO TIME. WE WILL AWAIT FOR THOSE SNOWFALL REPORTS BEFORE MAKING CHANGES TO THE HEADLINES. THANKS FOR THE EXCELLENT COORDINATION FROM NEIGHBORING WFOS.

gray me

CURRENT FORECAST THINKING HOLDS...WITH ONE SLUG OF MOD TO HEAVY SNOW MOVING THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING...AND ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.


THIS SURGE OF SNOWFALL SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY TO MID-MORNING...WITH ABOUT 2 TO 5 INCHES ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. COULD SEE SEVERAL HOURS WHERE THE SNOW BECOMES LIGHT AROUND MIDDAY...BUT ANOTHER SURGE OF HEAVIER SNOW WILL DEVELOP MID TO LATE AFTERNOON AND LAST INTO THE EVENING.

Damn hole over Cannon again!!!!!

Damn hole over Cannon again!!!!!

Don't get too antsy. The heavy stuff for Northern NE isn't supposed to start until late afternoon anyway.

 

[ERJ-145CA]

Got about 4" at my house - 10 minutes from Mountain Creek.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Any snow is good snow, especially in March or April, but this is going to underperform a bit versus the high-end "greed" totals. Still a nice thump for the mountains though.

Damn hole over Cannon again!!!!!

Same for Burke . The wind switched over to the SE at about 7:30 this morning, immediately shutting off the snow. Burke picked up 4 inches last night and their webcam was showing no snow all morning. The snow is just starting up again as the back half of the storm moves in. Was really hoping for the 14" number that was being thrown around. 10" sounds more likely.

Still nothing on the cam at Cannon.
