This is the latest snow depth forecast:

The local forecast is predicting between 8-15" of snow. The map above is the best probability of the depth.

Ultimately, we ended up with 15-18" of snow. Probably 24" on the summits. The snow is real fluffy. If you are coming to the Catskills this weekend, bring your snowshoes!

We got around 16" of snow. Now it is the brutal cold that is of concern. But, it should start getting warmer soon. People need to be careful if hiking out in the cold.

Looks like we have another storm coming in on Sunday. NOAA is giving a rough estimate of 8"+. Too far to really know how much snow.

It looks like we might get 10-18" of snow over a couple day period. We'll have to wait and see how much we really get. If it stays cold, it should be fluffy like the last storm.

The Catskills didn't get as much snow as they believed that they would. Maybe 8-10".
