Sorry if you posted your totals earlier, didn't see any on a quick glance. Anyway I measured around 13" but the local paper reported 11" in some spots and 9 in others.

I only ended with 9.1". I agree it was a bit tough with drifts and what not.

GFS still continues the theme of atleast an inch or two for the area Saturday to freshen up the snow pack.

Just updated in long range thread

Recent Upton HWD:

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

A QUICK MOVING FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF
PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW DURING THE SATURDAY MORNING TO
SATURDAY EVENING TIME FRAME. ALTHOUGH TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT...THE FROZEN GROUND AND MODERATELY STRONG
WINDS COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS.

SUB ZERO WINDCHILLS ARE EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING.

Frank: I have to build a snowpack before I can freshen it up. I'll take anything I can get Saturday.

CP, seems like your area has been jipped so far but plenty of time to go, don't worry I remember many times when I got jipped. I remember one such time ( forget year 90's sometime) They were calling for a major snowstorm I think it was at least a foot. I stayed up very late waiting for it assuming i'd have no school but I passed out before it started, I woke up to excitedly open the blinds and what?! Not even a flake nothing nada, it had gone out to sea and missed us completely. Hoping you get yours and I think you will before the season is out. Nothing worse than brutal cold with no snow.

Also CP I just noticed your totals, not that much less than mine, about 5-6 inches apart.

Jman. Yeah I really got screwed on the last storm only getting two inches when everyone else was hitting the jackpot. Hey it happens sometimes. Usually being where I am I do pretty well it being colder and all but like you say we all miss out at some point. Rarely does everyone on our board which covers about a 75 mile radius of NYC make out. There's always someone crying the blues, this time it was me.

CP last year when my parents in the New Haven area got 35 inches of snow and I got 12 I was so pissed, lol 35 inches would shut us down for a while. New Haven was immobilized, my parents were trapped in their house in a coastal country town Guiilford if you know it. The first plow coming through couldn't push through the snow, the second one got stuck too. They were stuck in their trucks for half a day my dad said before a heavy duty loader came to dig them out. My dad showed me pics I was so jealous as I have never and may never see that much snow out of one storm.

Frank wahts your name for a storm pushing 3-4 feet? RipRoidZilla? LOL

How about FrankZilla
