First Snow of the Season

#1 Postby nystate » Mon Nov 08, 2004 3:23 pm

Well, the NWS fluked and instead of partly cloudy we got snow, falling pretty heavy at times. Rates were probably in excess of 3"/hour earlier this morning, but because of warm ground temperatures, only about an inch stuck. That melted, but it snowed again just a few minutes ago, so the ground is white again.

This marks the first snow of the 2004-2005 winter season for me! :D

Same here, NYState. I moved to NE of Albany from S of Buffalo. They were calling for LES to the west of Albany, but we got about 1/4 of an inch. :eek: First snow of the winter indeed.

Glad to hear you got some snow as well. I was very surprised, since yesterday they were calling for partly cloudy skies. :lol:

Good to see CaptinCrunch is excited as well... :lol: :wink:

Look at this goofy map! :lol:

WxMOM. She may have gotten snow yesterday and overnight depending on where she was. At least the Northern and N-Western Catskills got some of yesterday's action.

I guess we will just have to wait until we hear about it!! She is roughly in the central catskills.
At least we won't appear surprised if/when she tells us!
Thanks Stormraiser!
