Momentum building for possible storm on JAN 16th?

It's crazy windy out there. Anyone else having really intense winds?

Holy rain right now under red band WHAT A SHAME!!!! this should be a foot of freaking snow yesterday this time was 9* degrees we shot up currently 45* and 1.25 inches of rain so far...winds sustained @ 22-24 mph gust we had in last hour of 32mph SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

Took a snowfall measurement about a half hour ago of 3.2" here in Albany. And it's still coming down pretty good!

3.5 inches in southern dutchess at 3 am. I could hear the ice pound on house at 2am. Commute to Northern westchester wasnt bad. Most issue was with heavy rain on slush causing hydro planing and big puddles with now where to drain. Luckily I got stuck behind a guy so he kept me from going to fast.

31 degrees light freezing rain.The trained spotter up here seems to have been in bed all night, no snow measurement, so going with CP's 4.8 inches.Maybe a dusting to 1/2 inch with snow showers during the day.

Nice to see a 3-6” snowfall for those N&W. There’s still another batch of precip making it’s way through there that could gradually change to snow into the morning hours. If you’re able to walk out of this system with a snow pack I would call that a win!

4-5” before the change over, now about 3” of heart attack snow/slush winds howled from 2:30-4:00, currently 38*

A little over 5 inches before the changeover, on top of the 1.5 inches that was left from last week we have a nice solid ice encrusted snowpack that should withstand any 40 degree days January, which look to be few and far between, throws at it

36° now with light rain.

One of the few times being on the far western front ends with me getting the most snow. About 12" of powdery snow on the ground. Not sure how much more will fall on the back side, but anything on top of this is a bonus. Mornings like this go a long way towards making the long stretches of cold snowless days worthwhile.

It is 31 degrees; it was still snowing at 5:30 am when the dog went out. I went back to bed. I have not sticked it but it looks like 12 inches. It might have changed over for just a bit to sleet going by sound but it is all out there, still out there. Yay!

The ground IMBY is treacherous. 3" of snow before a pouring or rain turned it into slush. That combo coupled with deeply frozen ground making for really bad pavement conditions. Like worse than most zr storms that I have experienced. Light snow 32.5 don't expect too much. This is the storm of what could have been...

The wind never got going much. 20 mph was the high gust. About 15 mph sustained

Barely any snow left on the ground here in Southern westchester, very windy pouring rain last night, thought the window shutters were going to get blown off at some point

7 inches of wet compacted snow in Stillwater NJ at 1190 feet altitude, was 31 degrees at 4:30 this morning, now 34 degrees and snowing!

About 5 inches here in Hopatcong before the overnight changeover. More than I expected! Currently snowing decently again. 33 degrees. Have a nice 3-4 inch snowpack on the yard that looks like it'll stick around.

Sorry for being a stranger so far this winter. Had our first baby back in May and that's obviously occupying a lot of my time lately! Looking forward to getting a bit more involved in tracking and discussion here moving forward!

Great work on this storm from all our members who know far more than I do. Always a treat to come here and get educated by you fine folks.

This is our catch up storm CP, we missed out on the first and got only half on the second.When this freezes up it will be like a concrete block.Glad we got a snowback rejuvinater , the snow from the last storm was getting threadbare.Snowpack+cold air=winter for me.

36 , nothing falling now, cloudy.Never got the big winds up here, pretty calm now.

3” of snow here before the changeover to rain, but I fell asleep before that happened, so that number is from a trained spotter.  I woke up to nasty slush.  I hate slush.  Currently snowing lightly. Everything is still white here, despite the nasty slush.

Wow, 20 freaking miles the difference between 5.2 inches which is now 4 inches of now compacted slush, and 12 inches.

Now I'm officially annoyed LOL

Exactly Doc, exactly.

That's winter an extended snowpack and cold temps.

Congratulations! Another snow weenie born into the world.

Thanks, Frank. All is good here. There's been nothing to say for what seems like forever, but here's hoping that I get the opportunity to cheer while all of you get your white gold.

Ended up with around 5” here in Albany. There was not that much in the way of rain so it’s a winter wonderland out there.

Here’s the view from my bedroom window:

I go with Zoo and maybe 2.25" since I usually last a fee minutes longer with a 2 mile separation and elevation. I woke up at 5am and looked outside and much to my surprise it was all white still with a shiny glean. Tempnwas at 35 at that time. LLC and HRRR did a number overall. The NAM went to far with WAA imo overall. HRRR and 3K NAM did well.
