NFT: Snow totals?

already took a pto day for friday. I'm off to Gore Mtn tomorrow! Only been there once, I want to check that place out some more. Seems like a pretty underrated mtn. It's got more vertical than some mtns in Vermont.

about 2 feet of snow off of my property here in Kingston, NY. I'm someone who normally loves winter and snow, but this was a bit much.

who plows my driveway. He just finished doing everything about a half hour ago and I'm going to venture out now. What a fricking mess. 32 inches. Most we've ever seen in one day

42 inches at a relatives house, south of Utica, confirmed by NOAA.

Montreal got 42cm (16 1/2 inches)yesterday and Sherbrooke Quebec (90 minutes south of Montreal) won the prize with a huge 75cm (29 1/2 inches) yesterday.

It has continued snowing here all day so the totals are a bit higher. Here in Montreal we had a major accident that stranded 300 cars on Highway 13. Some people were stuck in there cars for 10+ hours.
Highway 13 - ( New Window )

What a joke. Why were these people still on the roads? They don't look plowed at all!

to get some food and went over to a friends house to help them dig out. Holy shit it's like armageddon in Scranton. Most side roads not even passable, cars plowed in everywhere and people trying to dig out everywhere and throwing all the snow into the middle of the streets. Cars stuck everywhere. I've never seen anything like it

this wasn't a "blizzard" in NYC is just crazy. First, NYC had a major storm - maybe only 8" of snow but that was topped by a crapload of sleet and freezing rain, and just walking around the city today - it's a mess out there, as much so as after a "blizzard."

But the main point - it's just a few degrees of temp in March that makes all the difference. Up in the Hudson Valley there is 2 -3 *feet* of snow. Like 3 or 4 degrees F and 50 or 60 miles makes a big difference. You can't predict those differences with precision in advance.

It was a big storm no matter how you slice it. I think those criticizing the forecasters are way off base. They mostly had it right.

criticizing the forecasters right now is an idiot. The track changed at the last second, it's not like the storm never materialized. My area got nearly 3 feet of snow, the most we've ever seen in one day.

Those same people are the ones that ran guys like WeatherMan out of here. Fuck them. WeatherMan was a huge loss to the BBI community when he left here

5+ foot drifts. Me, 3 teen sons, and a snowblower took 2.5 hrs to clear it.

Just down 476 we got half of what you got near Allentown. Amazing what 70 miles will do.

Yea, too bad he left but not you.

Why don't you go back to your old handle, Trent?

1957 or 58 - 48" plus overnight and into the next morning.

This storm was supposed to track more off the coast but the day before, it all changed. I saw it coming 12 hours before the storm came. Saw the 24-30 inch totals we missed out on. 1-3 inches on Saturday and I think we will be ending winter and snow until next year after that. Temps start warming up around the 24th.
