Looking for powder? Head east to the Catskills and the Poconos. Some decent 24-hour totals out there, including 16.5" near Delhi.
It's a bit of a strange pattern, resulting from the downstream development that we've talked about in prior posts and which also led to the bomb cyclone in the eastern Pacific. In the northeast, that eventually led to a deep closed low over the mid Alantic states.
Even Cleveland got in on the action for a bit.
Meanwhile, looking to our west, the upper elevation site (7617 ft) at the Mount Shasta Ski Park had a pretty good run the past couple of days for snowfall, but appears to be either in or just below the melting layer now. Observations from that site show total snow depth increasing from 15 to 63 inches in about 24 hours,but temperatures also steadily increasing through the period.
Currently it is 35F, so I suspect they are seeing either rain, slush, or wet snow. Quite a recipe for a deep, upside down snowpack and rain-on-snow avalanches. Such a waste.
