If you go to the Albany NWS page, and read the Area Discussion...it gives you alot of information, if you can understand it through the terminology. It helps me to produce my own forecast. Like NOAA is telling me 1-2" but this will make me plan for more, and hope for less.
I really didnt want to go out this morning. salted today...put a lot down, much of the snow was packed & frozen from the cars last night....will check back when the temps go up a bit & the sun comes out.
It supposed to be 50 in a couple days, break out the shorts.
