The snow started to lightly fall around 7:30 pm, which is a little ahead of what they thought last night. I recorded a short video for you to review (I hope) that will give you a sense of what the start of a snow storm looks like.
Well as you can see it is not that exciting yet - just some tiny snow flakes - this is of course the leading edge of the storm. It seems that there are going to be a couple of punches to this storm.
Sometimes it is hard to understand just how much snow 12 or 24 inches really is. I shot three pictures that I hope will help. The first is a measuring stick. You can see the mark at the baseline of the stick. We will take measurements throughout the storm and at the end tally the total.
These other pictures are of a couple of key areas in our yard.
The one on the left is the end of our drive way - it is always a hoot to see how much this pile grows as the snowplow guy gets to the driveway. PS - having a snowplow guy is essential when living in Rochester.
The other is in our front yard which will probably be somewhat protected from the blowing snow. These of course are the before, I will post the after when the storm is over.The weather folks maintained their forecast for this storm, so I expect we will not leave our home until Monday at the earliest. We will see!
Probably will not report again until the morning. Got to get back to the Syracuse basketball game. Everyone have a safe and happy evening.
Thanks Dan
