The last weekend of holiday shopping before Christmas was hindered in NYS by two snowstorms, which caused havoc on the roadways.
The first storm arrived on Friday, 12/19/08, around noontime at Albany. Conditions quickly worsened, as heavy snowfall limited visibility and made roads treacherous. The main part of the storm went on throughout the afternoon, and diminished in the evening hours. Flurries continued throughout the night, adding another inch or so to the storm total. Snowfall totals in the Albany area for this storm was between 8-10 inches.
Two days later, on Sunday, 12/21/08, a second storm rolled into the Capital Region in the late morning hours. Snowfall continued until the early evening, which provided the Albany area with another 6-8 inches of the white stuff.
My forecasts for both days for the Albany area was 7-9 inches for the Friday storm (which is what most people got), and 6-8 inches for the Sunday storm (nailed it!). Two for two so far... let's see how the rest of the season goes.
So here I sit, with 16 inches of snow at my front door. Add these storms to the ice storm from last week, and you've got one crazy start to the winter season!
