As the Bomb Cyclone Blizzard moves farther northeast, our NYSM cameras are capturing how much snow fell across NYC! Our Murray Hill site, part of the NYC Micronet, shows just how quickly the snow piled up as the storm moved through the city.

Not all snow is equal: Fluffy powder = lots of air Snowman snow = more water The SWE sensor measures how much liquid water is in the snowpack — crucial for flood forecasting, water supply & storm tracking. Check out our snow network on our website! nysmesonet.org/networks/sno...

Did you know we have a snow network? This is our site in Harrisburg, deep in Tug Hill, NY — one of the snowiest spots in the East thanks to lake-effect off Lake Ontario. Feet upon feet of snow! That big tube? It’s a CS725 Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) sensor.

Yes, we are out in the snow on purpose. Our technicians are collecting snow core samples to quality-check our SWE sensors—because “looks right” is not a measurement. Check us out on insta! @nysmesonet #SnowScience #FieldWork #SWE #QualityControl

At our sites we use weight scale precip guages. Sometimes we experience false precip and have tried many solutions. One thing we discovered is spiders love to crawl in our gauges and make homes! How can we naturally deter them? Peppermint packs!
