This is a pretty good snow storm but the residents of Upstate NY would laugh at calling this a blizzard. Snowfall began around 11PM last night. At 2PM, I measured 12.5 inches of snow. My calculation says that is 15 hours so the snowfall is less than 1 inch per hour, which is one of the criteria for a blizzard as we learned and experienced living 10+ years in NY. The other criteria is wind, which is predicted to blow over 30 mph but hasn’t started yet. If that happens, this will be something because the snow is dry and will easily blow into some big drifts.
