@CaribWave04 Can’t even find it now

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@cyclonicwx this is insane - I never know how to interpret the SFMR here but these are some powerful winds!

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@AndyHazelton I am still astounded by what has taken place in these last 48 hours

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@WxWarrior_Game @Stebo_Wx @samromshek @OKCStormWatcher Season 12! wow still chugging along!

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@NsfwWx Albany area didn’t think we would see 2 inches of snow

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@NWSAlbany Didn’t have any other surfaces to take a measure but I got 2 inches on my car roof where the snow started sticking once it was falling - this is just south of Westmere at the Deer Valley Apartments and was taken now as the event has ended

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@patrickmillwx My first snow here living in the capital region and I am quite shocked!

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@wxkaitlynj @NickPBassill @afterhourswx Living in the Wyoming Valley i’m used to these storms going right to rain but now I see how the valley up here deals with cold air drainage and
you never underestimate a cold canadian HP

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@wxkaitlynj @NickPBassill @afterhourswx they started snowing at 39/19 so there was definitely some good evaporational cooling

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@NickPBassill @wxkaitlynj @afterhourswx Per the mesonet I saw it got down to 15 around the area and those clouds came in fast because models always are too late with WAA precipitation arrival

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@wxkaitlynj @NickPBassill @afterhourswx I knew this wasn’t the best CAD setup but when I saw it was 25 at 5 pm last night I knew we were going to plunge overnight and models were going to be too warm - it does seem the higher terrain is above because that’s where the mixing was!

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@NickPBassill 330 sounding this told me that we would hang on to the snow longer for sure

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@wxkaitlynj @NWSAlbany @PaulCaiano @RobLindenmuthWx Pulled this sounding at 330 this afternoon from the @nysmesonet profiler for Albany and knew this was going to be interesting- NEVER UNDERESTIMATE COLD AIR DAMMING

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@BrokerWx My guess is due to the variability and unpredictability when an EWRC can happen and how long the shear can stick around for they wanted to stay with Cat 4 for now

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@SteveOweathaguy watch the ridge in between Lee and Margot as well that seems to be a tell right now

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@AndyHazelton Interesting to see the ridge trending stronger both this weekend and then also the ridge building in between Margot - possibly due to the Latent heat release from Lee due to the RI?

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@JGodynick yeah that’s true - Gfs did trend Margot further east allowing the ridge aloft to build back in - curious to see what the rest of the 12z guidance does

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@USAwx GFS came WAY SW

[Jon Parker @weatherguy4life]

@wxmann defying nature doesn’t happen often - I don’t see how the pattern allows for a florida turn just meteorologically it doesn’t make sense but you have articles written with a screenshot of a hurricane hitting florida and the title is talking about Lee like what??…
