Already?  I thought it was still a way off... Maybe Cortland is further West than I thought?

 

 

Probably close to your longitude (Cortlandt, note the "T").

Not steady, but some strong gusts. (Our house is normally extremely quiet and when we can hear the wind we know its strong.)

Woke up to about 4" to 5" of wet heavy white stuff this morning. No time to do any thing about it this morning. So I jumped in the truck, turn the magic knob to 4x4 and trudged me way through the slop to get to work.  Looking forward to getting home to play with my snow equipment.

 

1 more hour before I break free of the salt mine.

1/4" of freezing rain till noon ...all rain now.   36F now but will probably drop below freezing tonight.

[Achto 27,577]

Had fun playing with my snow equipment.  The walk behind blower and my C145 with the plow made short work of the wet heavy mess.

 

After moving snow my C145 filed a request for a new drive belt. Silly tractor sat all summer & didn't say one thing about wanting a belt, had to wait until it was time to go back to work.

Sleet all day.  Maybe an inch or two here and there on the road, but nothing major.  Raining now and mid-forties called for overnight.  The forecast 6” or so may have happened, but did not accumulate.  No biggy.

[rjg854 11,362]

An inch or two of wet sloppy snow, and looking at the radar it's almost out of our area.  They called for 5-10 inches of snow.  I would say we made out pretty well.

Nuttin but rain and wind here in central Connecticut. 

  Power dropped out for 30 seconds this morning…other than that it’s been uneventful

[ebinmaine 67,515]

At 9:45 a.m. . Trina sent this from home....

 

 

 

 

Looks like about 3" on the deck rail there.

The new barn looks happy to be there                           41F and sunshine here

Only thing better is not having to go outside to get to it!

Well today is probably the first day of the week it decided not to snow  which kinda makes me sad because no plowing peoples driveways so no money making but atleast we still have enough snow to throw snow balls and ride my snowmobile in the back yard and go sledding

How close to done?  Will my prediction stand?

 

We got about 3" of rain here, still coming down lightly.  The winds last night were not what was predicted and they've stopped now.

Oh, nowhere near....  

Won't end here til tomorrow afternoon.

This is what we have in the Berkshires of Massachusetts so far. Ten inches or so of wet heavy snow. 

The tire on my small yard man snow blower would not hold air so I tried the foam, seems to work out good.

My middle daughter went to Putnam Station, NY (top of Lake George) with some friends for the weekend, lots of snow and no power since 8:00am. Luckily the house has a generator.

Long as there's snow to melt for coffee you're all set.

These next two were taken one right after the other but the zoom changed the color tone for some reason. 

 

 

 

Here's another (poplar?) Leaning towards the side deck.
