A storm passed through yesterday, bringing mixed precipitation throughout the state. Albany got what could best be described as "a slushy mess" as a half-inch water equivalent fell from the sky.
Another storm, which looks like it will be mostly snow, will make its way over the state this weekend. It seems like we've gotten ourselves into quite a rut of a weather pattern: Consistently cold, with periods of strong winds and winter storms. I can't wait until we get some nice weather!

Storm Peters Out... Following Storm Packs Some Snow
The storm on the 28th had the typical line just ahead of the cold front, but it was not powerful enough to produce wind reports in NYS. The upper level jets looked pretty weak, which dampened the upward motion needed to sustain the severe storms in NYS.
Yesterday, another snow storm put another 7-8 inches of the white stuff on the ground. This puts the NWS snowfall total at 28.0 inches, which is well on its way to reaching Albany's average of about 65 inches per year.
The snow storm also brought gusty winds and cold temperatures...with Albany International reaching a bone-chilling 3F. Winds were about 15-20 mph, with gusts to 25 mph, which made it feel -20F to -25F outside during the worst of it.
Brrrrrr!
