Conditions

Snowfall ranged from 2″ to about 12″ overnight, and some specific areas got about a 1-1/2 feet. The greatest accumulation seems to have been along an west-to-east band, putting large accumulations on the Tug Hill plateau, southern Adirondacks, and higher elevations of mid-Vermont. Several inches made got dropped on the White Mountains as well.

BETA report confirming wet snow on warm ground during Saturday, so it will get crusty as the temperature drops Sunday. Awaiting word on Minnewaska, but so far it sounds like they got rain. Snowfall continues today in some areas.
